For work on regulated trees, yes. We handle the city paperwork as part of the engagement.

What about pre-construction tree protection?

It's the single highest-leverage thing we do in Nichols Hills. Tree protection zones, root-zone fencing, and air-spaded root pruning before any equipment arrives.

Can you inspect an aging specimen tree?

Yes, a written preserve-vs-remove assessment from an ISA-Certified Arborist is standard for any Nichols Hills tree showing decline.

Do you offer recurring tree health care?

Yes, Tree Health Membership is well-suited to Nichols Hills properties because of the canopy value and the seasonal monitoring cadence.

What makes Nichols Hills different

Nichols Hills' canopy is largely irreplaceable, a 90-year-old bur oak cannot be re-grown in a lifetime. Every decision here defaults to preservation, even when it costs more than removal would.

Specimen oaks, mature pecans, and ornamental plantings dominate; pruning quality matters more than throughput.

What we do here

Tree Trimming & Pruning

Structural pruning that protects long-term tree health. We follow ANSI A300 standards: crown cleaning, end-weight reduction, deadwooding, clearance, and young-tree structural training.

See tree trimming & pruning

Tree Inspections & Consultations

Independent, arborist-led inspections. From a single tree-of-concern to a full property risk assessment, we diagnose root-cause, write the report, and recommend the smallest effective intervention.

See tree inspections & consultations

Root Excavation & AirSpade

AirSpade compressed-air excavation lets us see and treat the root zone without cutting a single root. Used for root-collar exposure, girdling-root correction, soil decompaction, and vertical mulching.

See root excavation & airspade

Trunk & Soil Injections

Targeted, low-drift treatments that move systemically through the tree. We choose trunk injection or soil application based on the active ingredient, the tree, and the target pest or deficiency.

See trunk & soil injections

Cabling & Bracing

Structural support for trees worth preserving. We install dynamic and static cabling systems to ANSI A300 (Part 3) for codominant stems, weak unions, and over-extended limbs.

See cabling & bracing

Tree Planting

Right tree, right space. We choose species suited to your soil, exposure, and 30-year goal, then plant to ANSI A300 (Part 6), proper depth, root-collar exposure, mulched, watered, staked only when needed. Trees we install carry a Lifetime Warranty for Tree Health Membership customers.

See tree planting

Storm Damage Cleanup

After the wind, ice, or hail event passes, we sort what's salvageable from what isn't. Recovery pruning on storm-damaged trees buys back years of useful life when done within a short window.
