Mature Tree Care

An Investment for the Future

Mature Trees Increase Property Values

So any money spent on caring for trees can be thought of as an investment for property owners

Bad Practices Can Take Cause More Harm than Good

And can turn and asset into a liability

Look at that value!

As a result, the homeowner had to pay the appraised value to the City of Austin to mitigate for its loss.

Trenching too close to the trunk of this pecan resulted in the loss of several large supporting roots, destabilizing the tree.

Good Tree Care Practices:

Mature Tree:

  • Improve tree health
  • Protect tree value
  • Build good customer relations
  • Help create repeat business!
  • A tree that has reached at least 75% of its final height and spread at a particular site, but is not declining due to old age
