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.

Brett was very kind and listened to what I wanted done. He also noticed tree limbs that were hanging on my house that I previously didn't see. Walked me through the choices for each estimate. No service selected currently was gathering estimates.

I have a large Norwegian Maple and it developed a crack in it. I was told over a year ago it needed to come down. This year I started shopping around for businesses that could cut it down and Bratt Tree was the 6th company to come out. Hayden was awesome! She was the first person out of everyone who told me my tree does not need to come down and that it just needs a little bit of help. Hayden gave me 3 or 4 package plans and I chose to do a fertilization and later in the year will do some clearance pruning. I cannot say enough times how happy I am that I get to keep my tree! Karenna did my tree work today and she was just as awesome — friendly and sweet with my daughter who kept giving her dandelions :) This was such a great experience and the fact that they didn't just take my money to cut down the tree that didn't need to be, earned my trust and business. Thank you!

I contacted a few arborists for an estimate on pruning the trees in my yard. Bratt Tree Service arborist, Patrick, took the time to explain what is going on with my trees and what my options are for caring for them. He worked with me on a budget, explained what services would be beneficial if done sooner rather than later, and what can be deferred for later in the season. He answered all of my questions, and even gave me some advice about some apple trees I was planning to add to my backyard. I really appreciated the personalized service. I will definitely have Bratt Tree Service take care of my trees moving forward.
