A chainsaw is not the first tool we reach for, it’s the last. If you’ve called Chippers Tree Service, you’ll never get a crew that shows up and immediately starts hacking away at a tree, without performing a thorough inspection first. Because that’s how you end up with a butchered tree that never recovers. Or worse, a pruned tree that becomes diseased, loses its natural structural strength, or dies completely within a year. We’re not that rush-job Dallas Fort Worth preferred tree pruning company that treat every tree the same way, regardless of its species, health, current season, and growth patterns.
Our ISA Certified Arborists® conduct thorough TRAQ (Tree Risk Assessment Qualification) evaluations before any pruning begins. This includes checking the:
• Crown shape and asymmetry (is the canopy lopsided, overextended, or top-heavy?)
• Growth history
• Trunk and bark health (are there any vertical cracks, cankers, or signs of wood decay fungi?)
• Epicormic shoots (suckers) (their presence might signal improper pruning in the past)
• Weight, load, and stress points of the heavy branches
• Proximity to any utility lines and building structures
• Soil and drainage conditions
• Root plate stability
Contact Chippers Tree Service for Certified Tree Pruning, Trimming, and Removal Services
We are one of the very few companies in DFW Metroplex that use resistograph testing (when needed) to detect internal decay, measure lean angles, and evaluate soil compaction around the root zone. Each arborist in our crew rigidly follows the ANSI A300 pruning standards, thus never removing more than 25% of live crown, and making proper cuts outside the branch collar to promote compartmentalization.
Our job is not only to make your trees look good, but to keep them safe, healthy, and strong for years to come. Call (972) 743-9959 or contact us online to schedule your professional TRAQ assessment today.
You Are Not Done After Tree Removal: Stump Removal Services Available in the Dallas Fort Worth Area
Meta title: DFW Tree Removal is Not Complete Without Stump Grinding
Meta description: Removing the tree is just half the job. At Chippers Tree Service, we can also clear out the tree base along with the root ball so your landscape is usable.
You have just spent good money getting that problematic tree removed and now your yard finally looks clean. But what will you do about the stump? Did you even know that most stump removal services available in the Dallas Fort Worth area quote tree removal and stump grinding as completely different services?
That’s because they each require totally different equipment, skills, and time commitments. Removing a tree might take a few hours, but grinding out a large stump can be an all-day project. If you don’t plan ahead, you may end up paying a lot more than you should. If you have only hired a crew for felling a tree, and you decide you want to get rid of the base and root ball later on, brining a stump grinder back to your property means another service call, another setup fee, and often a higher per-stump price because it’s not part of a larger job.
Of course, leaving stumps is not really an option either. Home insurance companies hate them as they are considered “attractive nuisances” that could cause injuries. Your HOA may require stump removal within 30-60 days of tree removal. And good luck selling your house with a bunch of tree butts dotting the landscape.
A smart option is to bundle your stump grinding/extraction with the original tree felling. Chippers Tree Service offers custom packages that save you money and get everything done in one shot.
