Trees are essential to life on Earth, serving as the foundation of healthy ecosystems and directly supporting human survival. They absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen through photosynthesis, helping regulate the planet’s climate and air quality. Their roots stabilize soil, preventing erosion and reducing the risk of landslides and flooding, while also improving water retention and quality. Trees provide habitats and food for countless species, sustaining biodiversity and maintaining ecological balance. Beyond environmental benefits, they offer significant social and economic value—supplying timber, medicine, and food, as well as creating spaces for recreation and mental well-being. Urban trees, in particular, reduce heat, lower energy costs, and improve overall quality of life in cities. In a time of rapid climate change and deforestation, protecting and restoring tree populations is crucial for ensuring a sustainable future for both people and the planet. At Verde Lawn & Landscape, we don't want to remove your trees. We want to be your Tree Care Provider, and see your trees thrive.

Our Tree Care Services
Tree Health Care Program & Assessment
From top to bottom, we use a science backed approach when observing your trees. Although there can be close similarities, no 2 things in nature are ever the exact same, and no 2 things can ever be treated as such. Therefore, in our tiered, assessment based, consultation approach, you can rest assured that when we're assessing your trees, we're looking at everything from recent to past growth, soil and local environment conditions, signs of disease and decay damage, the trees requirements, and the trees recent responses.
Root Collar Excavation
Root collar excavation is a specialized arboricultural practice that involves removing excess soil, mulch, or debris from around the base of a tree to expose the root flare. Over time, improper planting or landscaping can bury this critical area, leading to poor oxygen exchange, moisture buildup, die-back, and decay. By carefully uncovering the root collar, we can identify structural issues such as girdling roots, rot, or pest damage. This process improves tree health by enhancing airflow, reducing disease risk, and allowing roots to function properly.
Tree Pruning & Trimming
Although often overlooked, our trees require, and deserve, frequent trimming/pruning and other maintenance practices. Due to oak wilt targeting our Central Texas live oaks, we have a specific recommended pruning period for them. However, most of our other tree species can get the care they need, when they need it, throughout most of the year. While running top of the line equipment, with a certified arborist on staff, you can have confidence that our trimming and pruning practices meet international standards for pruning, and safety.
Radial Trenching
Radial trenching is an arboricultural technique used to improve soil conditions around trees by digging narrow trenches that extend outward from the trunk. These trenches are filled with organic matter or nutrient-rich soil amendments to enhance root growth and soil structure. Over time, soil can become compacted, limiting oxygen, water, and nutrient movement. Radial trenching alleviates compaction, increases aeration, and promotes healthier root development and is a valuable method for maintaining mature or declining trees.

Why hire a Certified Arborist?
Not only do trees require routine trimming and pruning, but they also require other local environmental amendments. These include but are not limited to macro and micro nutrient fertilization, soil aeration, PH adjustments, and many others. Even a task as simple as refreshing the mulch around your trees can provide great benefits to your trees and their soil, reducing soil compaction around the base, and aiding in other environmental stressors on the tree.
In the United States, Certified Arborists have to obtain over three years of documented and verified experience in tree work. In addition, they must also pass a written test from the International Society of Arboriculture (ISA). Certified arborists must also maintain their credentials, by obtaining a number of continuing education units (CEU's) during the three-year certification period, and paying a fee for recertification, or by retaking and passing the ever-changing exam. Since certified arborist must perform tree work and maintain trees according to ISA & ANZI standards, choosing a certified arborist means you're choosing a tree professional that you can trust, and that they are well-versed in new and old tree service practices and knowledge.
What is Prescription Pruning?
Developed by Dr. Ed Gilman and the International Society of Arboriculture Florida Chapter, the ISA Prescription Pruning Qualification (PPQ) is a process of strategically planning, specifying, and implementing an objective-based pruning approach utilizing industry standards and ISA BMPs (Best Management Practices), with current research and practices. PPQ is being adopted by the rest of the U.S. at a rapid rate and we are extremely excited to add this qualification to our credentials.
