Planting Red Oak Trees A Better Arborist(R) Tree Service planted this 18-inch caliper Red oak tree (above) in the Dallas area using a 120-ton crane. Trees are available in 4-inch to 18-inch caliper sizes with a one-year warranty. A crane must be used for any tree installation over a 9 inch caliper.
Many different things can affect the removal of a tree. The location of the tree, its height, its width, the number and size of the tree's branches or limbs, and other factors, such as the tree's proximity to utility lines or other obstacles, determine the ease or difficulty of removal. Access to the tree is also important in terms of how easy or how difficult it is to easily get the equipment we need on site for efficient removal of the tree.
Your trees provide beauty and shade around your home. Properly placed they can help reduce temperatures around your house and yard and, certainly, they should add curb appeal, true value, and pleasure to your property. Trees are strong in the broadest sense of the word but they can be fragile when subjected to weather, wind, water, and the stresses of disease.
When you are thinking about tree pruning, think of getting your hair cut and styled. When properly done, it is a great experience and it leaves you feeling revitalized and happy. In many ways your hair cut experience is what a tree experiences with professional pruning. Skilled, professional pruning, especially of large shade trees, is important to the health of the tree and can greatly extend its life.
After your tree surgeon has removed the tree, a short stump is left, approximately 2-3 inches above ground level. Complete stump removal requires a special, high powered grinding machine. The stump removal can be included in the overall price or it can be quoted separately.

It has long been the practice of Dallas Tree Surgery by A Better Arborist(R), to grind any exposed roots, to the extent possible, along with the stump so as to maximize the appearance of the area after tree removal.

A poor arborist. I called A Better Aborist in order to get wood delivered. Even at almost 3x what everyone else is charging I like quality. I scheduled a time with him and then called right back because I had forgotten that we were going out of town. I asked him to come this upcoming weekend. I called again to reschedule again because I volunteer and my volunteer weekend is this weekend and I forgot. When I called he said that he didn’t even reschedule because usually people are looking for a better price. This, unfortunately for him, is not always true. He then went on a rant about how good

Todd did a superb job for us, and we highly recommend him.
We has a large elm tree that needed to be removed. It was a big and difficult job, and we could not be more satisfied both with the outcome and his service.
He gave us an excellent quote, and he completed every detail he committed to doing in the quote, including complex root and stump removal that required removing and then resetting a portion of fence.
He is honest and straightforward, and he shows attention to detail as if it were his own home.
Also, he went "above and beyond" the job by helping us get a car jumped, for which he

I highly recommend this company for your tree trimming needs! The crew is extremely professional and took care of my Water Oak perfectly. Todd and his crew knew exactly what I wanted done without evening seeing the tree before hand. I'm very happy with the way my tree came out. Can't recommend this company enough!

I recently had them remove a large tree from my yard. Very timely in regards to doing the work. A very competent and professional crew showed up and completed the job in a very efficient manner. Great pricing for the work done. No complaints from me....I will use again if needed and will be recommending to others. Thanks Todd for the good work.

I called for a quote to remove 3 mature trees, and trim up 5 others.
Todd was out there within a couple of hours. I was on a budget, and they were 1 of 3 quotes rec'd., Great price, I scheduled them out 2 weeks later, they were on time, very efficient, left my yard very clean.
Great bunch of guys!

The call started out business as usual: details were exchanged about the potential work to be done and a $500 base package was quoted. I thanked him and said I was gathering quotes and prices from surrounding businesses and if I decided to go with him, I'd give him a call back. He then asked what I would be willing to pay or if I would pay more than $40. Again I mentioned I was just trying to get a couple of different prices but he then proceeded to cut me off, informed me he was going to pass on my business and hung up. All well and good but a bit more tact and professionalism will go a long way
