Tree Removal Service
Prolonged drought-like conditions are responsible for an estimated 66 million dead trees in the Houston area alone. Dead trees pose a fire risk and put people and property in danger if they become unstable enough to fall. Most homeowners lack the equipment and training to remove trees without damaging surrounding property. When it comes to tree care, Houston homeowners trust the experts at ABC Home & Commercial Services to diagnose the health of the trees on their property and to safely remove dangerous trees.
Why Tree Removal is Important
ABC’s certified arborists can safely handle the removal of most types of trees from your property. When you notice that a tree on your property is dying, having it assessed for limb removal or total removal can protect your family and your home from potential danger.
Some of the reasons you might want to remove a tree include:
- Serious damage to tree due to a storm or weather-related event
- Roots or branches endanger your roof or foundation
- The height of the tree has grown too close to overhead power lines
- The costs of repeatedly removing dead wood have become more expensive than removing the entire tree
- Your tree drops a large amount of debris in your yard and attracts pests
- An assessment from a tree expert which indicates that 50% or more of the tree is damaged or if over 25% of the trunk shows signs of disease or decay
- A hollow trunk, large dead branches, a leaning tree or a concentration on dead limbs on one side of your tree
Removing a tree is a big decision, and ABC is happy to advise you on whether or not your tree is posing a potential danger to your home or family. Our tree care experts can diagnose and treat any tree conditions or diseases which your tree might be suffering from. If you’d like to avoid removing a tree, we can suggest alternatives if our experts determine the tree is at a low risk of falling.
Our process for tree removal service includes:
- Conducting a thorough site assessment to determine what steps need to be taken to lessen any potential impact to nearby trees, fence lines, landscaping, power lines, cars or sheds.
- Pruning any hanging or dead branches that are likely to fall as the tree is being removed.
- Undercutting and back-cutting the tree in the direction the tree should fall to prevent any potential problems during the removal process.
- Climbing the tree to remove branches from the trunk.
- Cutting the trunk into right-sized pieces for firewood (if you desire), as well as cutting and bundling branches so that they can be put out with your tree waste for disposal.
- Cleaning up your yard of any remaining limbs and branches.

What Our Customers Are Saying
Toni Covarrubias
“So far the service we've been getting is as scheduled. However, this time I was not notified 30 minutes prior to arrival as originally told. The front looks great as usual. The backyard wasn't edged as nice as the front (or at all?), and I really would have appreciated deep edging around our firepit. Addendum 12/8/23: Changed 3 stars to 5 stars for follow-up service! After the above review, I was contacted by ABC in regards to my initial review. Anne was very courteous and eager to send someone out to follow up on my concerns. Arrangements were made that met my schedule, and the crew was very prompt in their arrival on said scheduled date. Our backyard is now 10 times better. Granted, there is still clean up to do on our part, but now it will be so much easier. Certainly worth the subscription price based on customer service alone! Photos depict final work first vs initial service.”

“I had an ammonia type smell in certain areas of the house along with numerous aggressive flies. I called ABC Home and Commercial Services first thing in the morning. A supervisor stopped at my house on his way into work to locate the problem. He then had a specialized technician-Matt- come by. He went in both attics and found some possible entry points at the roof whirlybird vents. He sealed them up. I have used ABC for years for my rodent exclusion protection on the house and have been very happy with them. I highly recommend their services.”
