Tree Removal Done Safely, Without Damaging Your Property

Removing a tree is often a big decision. Maybe it is leaning toward the house after the last storm, maybe it has died back, or maybe it is standing exactly where your new patio, pool or addition needs to go. Whatever the reason, Root Branch 'N' All removes unwanted trees safely and efficiently, with as little disruption to your property as possible.

Tree removal is the most complex and dangerous job in tree care. It is not just about cutting a tree down; it is about controlling where every limb and trunk section goes. Our crew is arborist-trained and safety-trained by a professional instructor, and we are OSHA-trained. We are not amateurs: we bring decades of proven experience and professional results to every removal, along with the right equipment, including a 60 ft bucket truck for tall and tricky trees.

Professional tree removal starts at $400, and every job begins with a free estimate so you know the price before we start.

When Should You Remove a Tree?

Not every problem tree has to come down, and we will tell you honestly when pruning or tree surgery can save it. Removal usually makes sense when:

  • The tree is leaning dangerously or showing signs of structural instability, such as soil heaving or root plate movement at the base.
  • Disease, decay or pests have compromised the tree's health, including advanced root rot, which saturated Gulf Coast soils make worse.
  • Roots are damaging your property, including sidewalks, driveways or foundations.
  • You need the space for a construction project or new landscaping.
  • Storm damage has split the trunk, uprooted the tree or left it unstable. If it is an emergency, see our 24/7 emergency tree service.
  • A palm is infected with Lethal Bronzing, which is fatal and spreads to nearby palms. See palm tree removal.

Gulf Coast Trees Come With Gulf Coast Problems

Trees on the upper Texas coast take a beating that trees inland never see. Repeated hurricane and tropical storm winds load up wide canopies, and wet, high-clay soil can loosen the roots that are supposed to anchor them. When we assess a tree for removal, we look for the warning signs common to our region:

  • Significant leaning or root plate movement caused by wind-loading
  • Large cracks in the main trunk of tall pecans
  • Brittle, decaying wood in aging laurel oaks
  • Root rot made worse by saturated soil
  • Catastrophic splits and breakage after tropical weather

We provide recommendations based on what we actually see in the tree, not on a sales pitch.

How Our Tree Removal Process Works

  1. Assessment and free estimate. We look at the tree, what it is near, how we can reach it, and what you want left behind. Then you get a clear price with no hidden fees.
  2. A plan for every piece. We decide where limbs and trunk sections will come down, whether we climb, use the 60 ft bucket truck, or rig pieces down with ropes over the roof or fence.
  3. Controlled takedown. The tree comes down in manageable sections, top to bottom, so nothing swings into the house, the fence or the neighbor's yard.
  4. Chipping and haul-away. Branches and brush go straight through our heavy-duty chippers, and trunk sections are cut, loaded and hauled away. Want to keep some wood for the fire pit? Ask, and we will leave manageable lengths for firewood.
  5. Stump grinding (optional). We grind the stump below grade so the spot can be mowed, planted or built on.

Tricky Removals Are What We Do

Trees Over Houses, Fences and Buildings

Many removals in Dickinson, League City and the Bay Area are in tight backyards, with the tree hanging over the roof, the garage and the fence line. We rig and lower pieces so they land where we want them. As one customer put it after we removed a tree that had fallen on her house: "If done wrong the roof and fence could be damaged even more... He took his time and did no further damage!"

Trees Near Power Lines

Working near active power lines, especially with the wide lateral growth of live oaks, demands specific training and tools. We follow utility arboriculture regulations for safe removals near lines.

Backyards With Soft, Wet Ground

The high clay content and frequent moisture in Gulf Coast soil can leave ground fragile. We use ground protection mats to keep equipment from rutting your lawn and landscaping.

Tall Trees

Our 60 ft bucket truck lets us safely reach high limbs and the tops of tall pecans, pines and oaks without unnecessary risk.

How Much Does Tree Removal Cost?

Our tree removal service starts at $400. Every tree is different, so the final price depends on a few things:

FactorWhy It Affects the Price
Height and trunk sizeBigger trees take more time, more cuts and more wood to haul away.
What is underneathTrees over roofs, fences, pools or power lines need careful rigging and lowering.
AccessNarrow gates and soft backyards can mean climbing instead of driving equipment in.
Condition of the treeDead, decayed or storm-split wood is less predictable and needs extra care.
Cleanup choicesFull haul-away, leaving firewood, or keeping the mulch.
Stump grindingOptional add-on to grind the stump below grade.

You will always get a free, no-obligation estimate first, so there are no surprises.

Fully Insured, With Paperwork Up Front

Never let an uninsured contractor take down a tree near your home. We're fully insured with general liability coverage, and we provide those documents up front. That protects you from financial liability if something goes wrong during the job.

Don't Let the Stump Become the Next Problem

After a tree is removed, the leftover stump can be unsightly, attract pests like termites, and create a tripping hazard for people and mowers. Our stump grinding service grinds the stump down, typically 6 to 18 inches below grade, and backfills the hole with the grindings. We can add topsoil and seed on request so the area blends back into the lawn.

We are based in Dickinson, TX and remove trees throughout Galveston County, the Clear Lake area, southeast Harris County and northern Brazoria County, generally within about 20 miles of Dickinson. For larger jobs, we travel farther, so call and ask. Find your city below.

Tree Removal FAQ

How Much Does It Cost to Remove a Tree?

Tree removal starts at $400. The final price depends on the tree's size, what it is near, how easy it is to reach, its condition, and whether you want stump grinding and full haul-away. Every estimate is free.

Do You Clean Up After Removing a Tree?

Yes. Branches are chipped on site, trunk sections are hauled away, and the yard is raked clean. If you want firewood, we can leave manageable lengths, and you can keep the mulch if you like.

Is the Stump Removed Too?

Stump grinding is an optional add-on. We grind the stump typically 6 to 18 inches below grade and backfill with the grindings, and we can add topsoil and seed on request.

Can You Remove a Tree That Is Over My House?

Yes. Trees over roofs, fences and buildings are taken down in controlled sections and lowered with ropes or reached with our 60 ft bucket truck so pieces do not fall on your property.

Can a Leaning Tree Be Saved?

Sometimes. A tree that has leaned gradually for years may be stable, while a new lean after a storm, especially with soil lifting at the base, is a warning sign. We will look at it and tell you honestly whether pruning can help or removal is the safer choice.

Are You Insured?

Yes. We're fully insured with general liability coverage, our crew has health insurance coverage, and we can provide documents before work begins.

Do You Remove Trees in an Emergency?

Yes. Our emergency tree service is available 24/7 for fallen trees and storm damage. Call (281) 337-4783.
