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 was very impressed with Chandler Lehman's job performance on trimming our Very tall elm tree. He thinned out the dead branches and was mindful of my smaller trees by the elm tree. He did not have a lot of room to work with so I was impressed with how he was mindful of the layout of the yard and my neighbors yards also. Very skilled young man 🤗 tree looks great 🤗

Bratt Tree did a fantastic job on our branch removal and pruning jobs! Jake was very attentive throughout the initial intake to project completion. Our neighbors have commented on how great the yard looks now. We also feel a lot safer not having a large dead ash branch overhanging the roof. Would work with them again!

Another great review for Bratt! This time they came to remove the stump remaining from a large maple they removed earlier. John did a remarkable job! He was friendly and speedy. He even helped some neighbors distribute some of the chips from the stump to their gardens. Great people at Bratt and recommend them to anyone looking for good, reasonably priced tree services!
