What is the difference between cabling/bracing and simply pruning a weakened tree?

Pruning removes branches to reduce weight and wind resistance, while cabling and bracing involve installing flexible steel cables or rigid rods to provide physical structural support to a tree with split trunks or weak attachments. This allows us to preserve high-value or historic trees that would otherwise pose a safety risk if left untreated.

How do your crews ensure my landscape and flower beds are protected during work?

We use specialized ground protection mats to distribute the weight of our equipment and prevent soil compaction or turf damage. For trees in tight spaces or near delicate gardens, we often use high-reach cranes to lift debris directly out of the yard, ensuring nothing is dragged across your landscaping.

Do you handle the cleanup of sawdust and wood chips after stump grinding?

Our standard stump grinding service leaves the resulting mulch in a neat pile within the area where the stump was located, which can be used as a natural weed suppressant. If you would prefer the area to be completely cleared and backfilled with topsoil for grass seeding, please let us know during your estimate so we can include that additional cleanup in your quote.

How Can We Help?

Frequently Asked Questions

During a professional assessment, our ISA-certified arborists look for specific physiological indicators, such as “flagging” (premature yellowing), canopy thinning, or unusual bark patterns, that indicate pests or fungal issues. If a disease, such as Oak Wilt or Dutch Elm Disease, is suspected, we will recommend a targeted treatment plan rather than pruning, which can sometimes exacerbate infections if timed incorrectly.

Reid Goldetsky

Bratt Tree was fantastic to work with start to finish. We had a half-dead ash that needed to be removed as well as a maple next to our roof that needed trimming to be safer in a storm. Hayden was great to work with and was super thorough and detailed about what needed to be done and any considerations we should have. Beyond that, Hayden even went above and beyond to provide us guidance on longer term care for some of our other trees. The estimate and scope of work was highly detailed so we knew exactly what would be done. The crew that came out to do the work was prompt and thorough - we didn’t even need to be present for their work. Another crew came out a week later to grind the stump of the ash tree, and both crews made sure they cleaned up all debris and chips like they were never there. Bratt Tree did great work for us and we’ll use them in the future for more tree needs - you should too!

Hayden was extremely knowledgeable. She told us which trees were healthy, which ones we should monitor for disease and how to spot the signs, and which ones needed pruning. Although she did advise this was not the right time of year to do so. She further advised how to care for a tree that was under going stress. She was thoroughly knowledgeable about every tree on our forested property.
