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.

I’ve used Bratt tree for all of my big jobs over the past few years. Yes, I have put the ladder at its highest setting and tried to pole saw myself.. works for thin but not for thick. They get the job done and I always like their guys. It’s really expensive though. For a broken branch off a silver Maple stuck up high up over the roof top it was $1000. It was the in between of the 4 quotes I received.. but I’ve used them before so I stuck with them. Make sure you have ALL cutting including preventative stuff done at the same time because it’s more expensive to have them haul equiptment out twice. When it’s as hot as it is today, make sure you offer to hydrate them. Spray them down and whatnot. They like Fresca;) and will reward you with talk about ur trees! Shout out Francisco and Ross!

Bratt is competitive and professional. I’ve coordinated with Ian for a range of services on different properties over the years and will continue to be my go to. Francisco and Ross were on my most recent project and they called when on site, they made sure access and concerns were communicated and used care to ensure an extremely large and risky rotted maple was taken down safe and clean.

I had an outstanding experience with Bratt Tree Service. Patrick was punctual, extremely knowledgeable, and took the time to thoroughly explain what he was seeing and all of the options available to me. There was absolutely no pressure. I asked him to give me the full picture, and he did. He walked me through everything from the items of greatest importance down to the things that were less urgent. From there, he allowed me to customize the work based on what I was comfortable doing, adding or removing items as I chose. Very professional, knowledgeable, and easy to work with. I would absolutely recommend Bratt Tree Service! Estimate only- service pending.
