An aging oak leaning over the roof, roots cracking the driveway, branches tangled in power lines—tree problems escalate fast in Houston’s storm-prone climate. Facundo Trees specializes in safe, insured, same-day tree removal that protects your home, your family, and your wallet.
From a palm frond scraping your gutter to grinding one backyard stump,
we book same-week mini-jobs with a simple $275 minimum.
Problem: One misjudged back-cut can drop 4,000 lbs of trunk onto your roof or a neighbor’s fence. Chainsaw kickback, hidden cavities, and Gulf-coast wind gusts turn “simple” removals into six-figure liabilities.
Solution: Our arborists use crane-assisted rigging, ground mats, and $2 M liability coverage to remove hazards safely—often the same day you call.
Cranes & Rigging – a 30-ton hydraulic crane and triple-redundant lowering blocks protect roofs, pools, and landscaping.
Precision Felling / Sectional Dismantle – bucket-truck or climber removes limbs top-down; trunk sections can be cribbed onto AlturnaMats to avoid lawn ruts.
Site Restoration – stump grinding to 12″, root-ball extraction if required, magnetic nail sweep, leaf-blower final pass.
75-ft bucket truck & SpiderLift for tight back-yard access.
State-licensed crane operator on every large removal.
Class-III rigging ropes rated to 21,000 lbs.
Commercial chipper → free mulch delivery within 10 mi.
$2 M general liability
When a tree is dead, diseased, or dangerously leaning, our ISA-guided crews dismantle it section by section, protecting nearby roofs, fences, and power lines. Stumps can be ground the same day so you’re ready for re-planting or sod.
From pocket-size ornamentals to 6-inch-caliper live oaks, we source Grade-A nursery stock, handle transport, and plant with proper depth, staking, and root-zone conditioning—all backed by a one-year health guarantee.
Routine trimming clears rooflines, improves clearance for vehicles, and channels growth away from utility lines. We use ANSI A300 standards to avoid flush cuts and over-pruning that can stress the canopy.
Need a formal look? Our shaping crew sculpts hedges, topiaries, and ornamental trees into clean, symmetrical silhouettes, boosting curb appeal without harming long-term health.
For prized specimen trees, fine pruning targets deadwood and crossing limbs smaller than 2 inches, improving airflow and light penetration. Perfect for fruit trees and landscape centerpieces.
While we avoid indiscriminate topping, we do offer
structured crown reduction
to lower canopy height safely, reduce wind-sail, and protect roofs. Cuts follow lateral-branch rules to ensure rapid, healthy regrowth.
Pricing ranges from $350–$2,100. Key factors are tree height, trunk diameter, proximity to structures, and whether you add stump grinding or crane support. We give itemized, onsite quotes—no hidden fees. You can also use our Instant Quote tool to schedule right now.
Standard jobs are booked within 24–48 hours. Storm-related hazards or drive-blocking trees are prioritized for same-day service. Ask us about our Storm-Ready Plan for our Priority response guarantee.
Every limb is lowered on controlled rigging lines; trunk rounds are optionally set onto AlturnaMats or plywood sheets. We finish with a blower pass and magnet sweep so your yard looks tidy when we leave.
Stump grinding is optional and priced separately. We grind below grade, backfill with chips, and leave the area ready for sod or re-planting.
Standard removal includes complete limb clean-up, trunk haul-off, and thorough raking. Stump grinding is optional and priced separately; you can keep the mulch or have us haul it away.
Most residential trees in Houston do not require a city permit, but protected “corridor” or heritage trees can. We’ll confirm during the quote—if a permit is needed, we’ll handle the paperwork for you at no extra charge.
Absolutely. Facundo Trees carries a Texas arborist license, $2 million in general liability. Proof of coverage is available on request or right here for download.
We factor in tree size, species, accessibility (e.g., backyard vs. curb), proximity to structures or power lines, and disposal volume. Our instant-quote tool gives a ballpark in minutes, and the on-site estimate locks it in—no surprise fees. You can even use our Instant Quote to see!
