Sometimes it becomes necessary to remove trees in landscapes and public places. Common reasons for removals include: dead or dying trees; badly damaged or hazardous ones; those impeding construction; or to cull exotic/invasive species. Debris generated from removals can be recycled into mulch, utilized on-site under trees or in flower beds, or hauled away. Larger pieces of wood can be cut into firewood and stacked. Stumps are cut as flush to the ground as possible. To remove stumps, Jon will refer to you to a stump-grinding contractor.
Deep-root fertilization. The thin topsoils found in most of Central TX are a major limiting factor in the health and development of our trees. Many native species have adapted to these conditions; however, all types of trees can benefit from improved soil conditions. Ogden's Tree Service can help you develop a good working plan for your site.

Professionals may disagree on the appropriate times of year for pruning trees in Central TX. Some individuals and organizations advocate pruning only in certain months. You should know that professional arborists can safely prune trees on a year-round basis with consideration of all factors at the location.
Tree Mulching
Fertilization is the addition of products to the soil to address specific nutritional needs for normal plant processes. Organic fertilizers, including compost and mulch, act powerfully and naturally to fertilize a tree and improve the soil.Caution: Many lawn fertilizers contain herbicides to control weeds. These Weed-N-Feed products should never be used anywhere near a tree’s root system. They can seriously damage or kill a tree. Additionally, recent studies have shown that such products pollute area waterways via run-off.
