Removing a tree can be a hard decision, especially mature ones. That's why our certified arborist is here for you. If he can find a cost-effective way to keep the tree on your property, he will. We will do everything in our power to provide you with all practical options, so you're well informed and can make the right decision with regard to removing your tree.
Each tree is a complex puzzle to solve and our owner embraces the challenges, facing them head-on, with the equipment needed to handle your removal efficiently. Specializing in crane-assisted tree removal in accordance with ANSI A300 Standards.
Trimming trees is both an art and a science. In order to make sure your trees are trimmed well you need a thorough understanding of what you're telling the tree to do when you make each cut. This can't be done correctly unless the person who knows how to do it is up there.
Untrimmed and intrusive trees can pose a physical threat to your property and its tenants. Our trimming and pruning services help you keep your property beautiful and safe throughout the year. When we're not climbing trees for work we're training for ISA Tree Climbing Competitions.
After a tree comes down, the stump left behind is more than a visual eyesore—it can harbor pests, disease, and create tripping hazards on your property. Our stump grinding service completes the job that lesser companies leave half-finished.
Stump grinding is so necessary, and not included in other quotes you may receive from other companies. At Leatherface, complete removal means just that—no stump left behind to become tomorrow's problem.
Emergency tree removal is a critical service that is often required during the most inconvenient times. When trees are damaged by a storm and fall they pose a significant threat to your property and the safety of your family. When this happens—day or night—we're here to help.
We are the only emergency tree removal company in DFW with 2 cranes available 24/7. Richard did a fantastic, rapid, and fairly-priced job right after the North Dallas Tornado of '19—on-time, great work, so far above the norm in terms of quality and ease of interaction.
Identifying the cause and severity of insect infestations and other common diseases in the trees in North Texas takes years of study and experience. Sometimes, a routine pruning job leads to the discovery of signs that point to decay in the root system.
Oak wilt is another common problem in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. Knowing when to prune and keeping an eye out for common symptoms is key to keeping your oaks healthy. Once we determine your tree has oak wilt, we use state-of-the-art arborjet technology to treat the tree with desirable results.
From cabling and bracing structurally compromised trees to mitigating construction damage to root zones, Leatherface Tree Service provides the full range of arboricultural care your trees may need—well beyond a simple removal or trim.
