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.

Nathan and 2 amazing, tree-climbing women with ropes and saws were up in our trees doing their thing and being so careful not to cause any damage to our property. The team couldn’t have been nicer and I feel like the whole experience, from sales to clean up was seamless- I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Bratt tree service

I have used Bratt Tree for about 5 years. Ian (the arborist) is well informed, explains things clearly, and does not oversell. Pruning is usually best done in winter when the tree is dormant to prevent diseases. (The exceptions are diseased or unstable, or dangerous trees.) Bratt offers a off-season winter discount that can be set up with the free summer consultation. Their climbing crew is properly equipped and experienced to work safely.
