How do you determine if my tree is a candidate for cabling and bracing versus removal?

Our ISA-certified arborists assess the tree's structural integrity, specifically looking for "V-shaped" unions or cracks where the tree may be splitting. If the root system and main trunk are healthy, we can often install high-strength cables to stabilize the canopy and extend the tree's life for many years, avoiding the need for a full removal.

What is included in your post-removal cleanup process?

We pride ourselves on leaving your property cleaner than we found it by chipping all brush, hauling away large wood, and raking the work area to remove smaller debris. We also offer stump grinding as an additional service to ensure the remaining site is leveled and ready for new landscaping or grass seed.

How does "Integrated Pest Management" benefit my trees compared to standard spraying?

Instead of applying blanket chemical treatments, our IPM approach uses targeted monitoring to identify specific pests, such as Emerald Ash Borer, and diseases, such as Oak Wilt. This allows us to use more precise, environmentally conscious treatments that effectively protect your trees while minimizing the impact on beneficial insects and the surrounding ecosystem.

Can you safely remove a tree that is growing extremely close to my home or power lines?

Yes, our crews are experts in "tight-quarter" removals and use specialized rigging and aerial lifts to dismantle trees piece by piece. We coordinate with local utility companies when working near power lines and use precision lowering techniques to ensure that no debris comes into contact with your structures or delicate landscaping.

What Our Clients Say

Scheduling an assessment was a breeze! I received an email and a text letting me know when they were on their way and I was able to see the cars arrival time! Patrick was knowledgeable, explained the science behind everything and was very kind to my dog. Pricing seems extremely reasonable to save my 3 giant pine trees from pests and disease!

Bratt Tree removed a small, dead tree from my front yard. They showed up on time, cut the tree down and removed all of the debris. They worked in the pouring rain, and still made sure the job was done right!
John Carpenter, of Bratt Tree, came a few days later to grind out the stump. He did an excellent job. The stump is gone, and he cleaned up all of the debris.
I wood definitely recommend Bratt Tree.

Jacob was Fantastic to work with. We have been dealing with some trees growing against our house for the past couple years and they stay gone. He walked me through each of the “trees” and possible solutions and even managed to point out something I missed in my original request.

I can't give this company high enough scores for their incredible communication and professionalism. After calling another company and leaving several messages that were never returned, I called Bratt who scheduled my appointment within 2 weeks, arrived on time to provide the estimate and again to do the work requested. The crew lead was great at listening to what we wanted and delivered a job well done and a yard clean of debris upon completion. We have been working with a lot of different contractors lately, and I wish they were half as great as Bratt.
