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.

A flawless performance from estimate to completion of work. Attention to every detail. Extremely professional. The team worked together like a well oiled machine. The final shaping of the trimmed trees beyond what I expected. Not a scrap or spec of sawdust left behind. I would highly recommend that anyone with tree service needs to contact Bratt.

Nathan and the team did a truly marvelous job with a big yard project - two dead trees, trimming a very large tree, and removing over a dozen volunteer trees. I am so pleased with the work done today and highly recommend them for quality, quick and friendly customer service, and a fair price. Thank you!

Arrived on time, were quick and efficient in cutting down the tree, and left the place in good condition afterwards.

Robert Raub

This is a great company! They require a $600 minimum job, so they might not be a good fit if you’re looking for a smaller project. It cost $300 for a fairly large tree trimming over my roof, and $300 total to cut down 3 trees which were about 4-5 inches thick. The stump removal costs $150 per stump which I opted out of since the trees were small. They cut them very close to the ground, only a couple inches remaining, which was nice. Patrick provided a thorough free estimate and didn’t try to upsell me on anything- I very much appreciated his honesty since I was on a budget. Francisco & Andrew did an excellent and efficient job of taking down my 3 trees and trimming another tree. It was exactly what I wanted and I’m super happy with the results.
