Frequently Asked Questions

Most stump grinding goes 6 to 12 inches below the surface, which is deep enough to prepare the area for landscaping or new construction. At Tree Amigos, we offer deep grinding that removes the stump well below ground level, eliminating regrowth and tripping hazards while leaving the site ready for your next project.

Late winter or early spring is ideal for most tree trimming in North Texas, before new growth starts. This timing promotes healthy regrowth and reduces stress on the tree. At Tree Amigos serving Whitewright and surrounding areas, we also perform seasonal pruning year-round depending on the tree species and your specific goals.

Stump grinding shreds the stump below the surface, leaving roots in place, while complete stump removal extracts the entire root system. Grinding is faster and less invasive, ideal for landscaping prep. Root removal is better when building over the area or eliminating all underground material. Tree Amigos offers both options depending on your project needs.

Yes, canopy thinning removes selective branches to allow more sunlight and airflow through the tree without harming its structure. This technique improves grass growth underneath and reduces shade over gardens or patios. At Tree Amigos, we carefully assess each tree to thin the canopy while maintaining health and balance.

We use cranes and specialized rigging equipment to safely remove trees in tight spaces, near structures, or with complex access issues. This allows us to control each section of the tree as it's lowered, protecting your property. Tree Amigos brings professional-grade tools to every removal, ensuring safety and precision on challenging jobs.

Mark any trees, structures, or utilities you want to preserve before the crew arrives. Clear personal items and ensure access for equipment.

Yes, grinding removes the decaying wood that attracts termites, beetles, and fungi. It eliminates the habitat these pests need to thrive and spread to nearby trees or structures. Tree Amigos grinds stumps deep enough to remove pest risks and prevent regrowth, improving your yard's safety and appearance.

Storm cleanup includes removal of downed limbs, branches, and debris, plus hauling and disposal. We restore safe access to driveways, walkways, and buildings while clearing hazards. At Tree Amigos, we also offer preventive trimming after storms to reduce future risk and protect your property from weak or damaged branches.

Certified arborists evaluate tree stability, root health, lean angle, and proximity to buildings or power lines. They identify weak limbs, decay, or structural issues that could cause failure. Tree Amigos provides detailed risk assessments and recommends trimming, cabling, or removal to prevent accidents and protect your property.

Tree size, location, accessibility, and proximity to structures or power lines all impact removal cost. Trees in tight spaces or requiring crane work take more time and specialized equipment. At Tree Amigos, we assess each job individually and provide transparent pricing based on the complexity and safety measures required.
