Frequently Asked Questions
What does tree cabling or bracing involve, and when is it needed?
Tree cabling and bracing involve installing flexible steel cables or rigid rods to support weak branches or split crotches. This is often needed for trees with structural defects, such as heavy limbs overhanging your home or property. At Curtiss Tree Care, we assess each tree's condition to determine if cabling or bracing can extend its life safely, avoiding removal while reducing risk.
How does tree stump removal work, and can it be done after a storm?
We use mechanical grinding equipment to remove stumps from a few inches above ground down to below the surface. After a storm, if you have downed trees, we can handle stump removal as part of our damage restoration service. This prevents tripping hazards and allows you to replant or level your yard quickly. Our 32 years of experience ensure the job is done efficiently.
Can tree services help prevent crawl space moisture damage in Shepherd homes?
Yes, overhanging tree limbs and heavy debris can block gutters and downspouts, leading to HVAC condensate overflow or kitchen sink water pooling near foundations—common crawl space moisture issues in Shepherd. By removing damaged limbs and clearing storm debris, we help maintain proper drainage around your home, reducing the risk of moisture seeping into your crawl space.
