Pruning your trees serves a greater purpose than attaining the aesthetically pleasing and well-manicured yard we all long to have. Pruning is two-fold; it removes diseased or insect-infested branches and beautifies the neighborhood in the process. Regular pruning removes damaged, weak or overgrown branches, which in turn promotes proper tree structure and helps to reduce the risk of your trees becoming diseased in the future.
Each time you make the choice to prune your trees, you’re making the choice to prolong the life and beauty that your trees will bring you for years to come. With all the benefits that pruning brings, you may be wondering —what will it cost me? The professional arborists at Expertise Tree Service have developed a system that provides a customized recommendation and factors in the cost of your tree’s needs with your budget conscious needs in mind.
As Maria Pesina, founder and long-time owner of Expertise Tree Service says “Im a certified arborists and my team and I we have been doing this for a long time, over 24 years. Believe me when I tell you we are looking for your best interest.” We set up a free personalized consultation, meet with you to discuss your expectations and provide an estimate that covers the individual recommendations for each tree which are based on tree type and size, location, safety and individual client needs.”
What factors determine the cost of tree trimming, pruning, and demossing?
When determining the price of our service for you we begin with looking at the condition of the tree. When you contact Expertise Tree Service arborist about tree trimming or pruning services, we will come out to your property for free to discuss your tree’s needs with you and provide a service estimate based on the following factors:
- Tree type: The total cost will depend on the shape and size of the tree we will be working with. “Oak trees are abundant in the Texas area and they all age in very distinct and unique ways depending on how they are cared for. There are cases that an oak tree has ball moss accumulated by over 45% simply because it has had little pruning and maintenance. On the contrary, with regular servicing some acquire little to no ball moss even well into maturity. Another abundant species of the genus Hickory in Texas, commonly known as pecan trees, require a different approach to maintain and prolong its health. Regular pruning in the first five years of its life can be a huge benefit once it reaches maturity. Also pruning a pecan tree when it is grown can help prevent the spread of disease and promote better nut production,” says Maria.
- Location: Like homeowners, trees have to be conscious of their “neighbors.” Pruning costs will vary based on what is around the tree. For example, trees close to the street can cost more to remove if arborists are exposed to traffic or the road needs to be blocked off as a safety precaution. Likewise, a large tree close to your home might be costlier if extra crew or equipment are needed to make sure large branches don’t damage your property. Professional arborists take all of these factors into account to determine how to make the pruning process both cost-effective and safe.
- Client needs: Here at Expertise, arborists make recommendations for the pruning services a tree needs, but they also take into account the client’s desire for the right price. “When we go in to prune a tree, we give you options,” says Maria. “ We take into account your budget conscious needs. Based on our arborist’s recommendation, we can create a personalized service plan for you – tackling your biggest concern while considering the safety and health of your trees first and coming back to service the rest at a time that benefits you. In some cases we are willing to work out a payment plan with you. Just inquire by calling 210-405-6255 or emailing support@expertisetreeservice.com.”
- Time requirements: Based on the above factors, Expertise arborists estimate how long and how many people it will take to do the job safely.
