What Our Clients Are Saying

L

Laura H.

Neal and his crew were great–and affordable. They won’t just start whacking off branches; Neal takes time to truly study the trees and identify what stays and what needs to go. We have two huge live oaks that really define our backyard. If anything ever happened to them we’d be devastated. He thinned and trimmed them beautifully. We feel like they got a lot of TLC.

Neal is an honest arborist. He chose to preserve the integrity and health of my tree over just wanting charge for an unnecessary job. He came out and looked at my tree and told me it would be best for my tree to wait until the spring because much had already been cut off by a landscaper who cut into the collar of my tree :-(. I recommend for anyone wanting to trim their tree(s) to hire an honest certified arborist such as Neal. Once your tree(s) have been cut incorrectly, it cannot be undone and your tree will suffer. Wish I would have found Neal first.

Andrea M.

I had a 12″ diameter top of a tree break off and fall on my very steep roof during the windstorm in April. It was still connected to the tree 30′ up. Neal expertly removed the tree, having tied off the part of the tree by the trunk, so it would not swing back and hit the house when he cut off the branches on top of the house. It was amazing to watch. Neal also advised me on the care of other trees while he was there. He is very knowledgeable. I highly recommend this Hill County Arborist to safely and economically take care of your trees. —Andrea in south Austin

Neal Howerton is a Certified Arborist with an eye for detail! Just had him over for half day of spring maintenance and pruning and was amazed at how much he got done! The bonus of the beautifully chipped mulch was left as I requested for the rest of the landscape! He painted every cut to protect against oak wilt and my trees look beautifully sculpted. By the end of the day everything was raked, and cleaned up and freshened. He has cared for my trees for 15 years now and I would highly recommend him for big and small jobs. He is definitely devoted to helping maintaining the health and beauty of the trees!

Michele K.

Excellent eye for tree beauty. They have been grooming my numerous live oaks at my business,Austin Flag and Flagpole, and my home for 20 years now. They have never cut anything that I have regretted. You may stop by & look at the trees for yourself. Our customers have told us numerous times how beautiful our trees are. They always clean up well after they are done. Always on time also. I would recommend them to anyone who wants beautiful trees that are healthy and look beautiful.
