STUMP GRINDING
STUMP GRINDING Grinding a stump with close proximity to a driveway and house walls and foundation. Ti-guard was implemented to protect windows from anything that might be kicked up during the grinding process.
TREE PROTECTION
TREE PROTECTION 2×4’s were used to wrap and protect this Live Oak from physical contact & damage from a skid steer making repeated passes during the excavation for a new swimming pool.
TREE PROTECTION
TREE PROTECTION Hardwood mulch and plywood disperse the weight of a skid steers making repeated passes over the Critical Root Zones of these Live Oaks during the excavation process for a new swimming pool.
TREE PROTECTION
TREE PROTECTION A 8″-10″ layer of hardwood mulch is spread over the Critical Root Zones of the above Live Oaks. These trees are protected prior to a skid steer accessing the back yard to dig the hole for a new swimming pool. We utilized mulch and plywood to disperse the weight of the skid steer over the root zone in order to minimize soil compaction through the root zone. Fencing was used to cut off access of workers, equipment and materials to the Critical Root Zones of these Live Oaks.
TREE CABLING
TREE CABLING This tree is a co-dominant(multi-trunked) Cedar Elm of significant size. The main branch union of the two leading stems is very weak and beginning to fail. Installing a steel cable between the main stems helped to add support and structure back to this failing union.
SOIL AERATION
SOIL AERATION This heritage Live Oak in Dripping Springs is located on a property with new home construction. It is common to find compacted soils on construction sites due to the weight of heavy equipment, materials and repeated foot traffic. Aerating the Critical Root Zone promotes increased exchange of oxygen to the soil and roots and reduces soil compaction which can cause root die-back. Aeration is evident in this picture by the grid-like pattern of soil mounds under the canopy.
Cottonwood tree
Trunk section of a highly decayed Cottonwood tree that was removed. The “conks” or mushroom fruiting bodies are seen on top of and inside the trunk section. Wood decaying fungi can cause structural degradation inside the tree, deeming it a hazard. This customer was lucky the tree did not fail in a storm or high winds.
HAZARDOUS TREE REMOVAL
HAZARDOUS TREE REMOVAL Our skilled tree climbers removed a dead and unstable Cottonwood trunk located just a few feet away for the corner of a house. This is the stump of that tree. Obvious fungal decay is present which caused the trees to degrade and become a hazard.
DROUGHT STRESS
DROUGHT STRESS This Live Oak is showing signs of drought stress as indicated by the thinning canopy above and the dead branch tips. The symptoms above show branch-tip die-back and poor shoot elongation. This tree is a great candidate for a sound healthcare maintenance program geared to promote increased root development and increase overall tree health & vigor.
ROOT COLLAR EXPOSURE/EXCAVATION
ROOT COLLAR EXPOSURE/EXCAVATION Live Oak prior to Root Collar Exposure process.
ROOT COLLAR EXPOSURE/EXCAVATION
ROOT COLLAR EXPOSURE/EXCAVATION In the midst of exposing this Root Collar, a “girdling” or choking root is found around the base of the Live Oak. This root will be removed to allow the tree to property function without the root inhibiting the trees ability to move needed water and nutrients from the root system to the canopy.
ROOT COLLAR EXPOSURE/EXCAVATION
ROOT COLLAR EXPOSURE/EXCAVATION This heritage Live Oak has a buried Root Collar as indicated by the “telephone pole” look at the base of the tree. Root Collars are the “flare” at the base of the tree where the trunk transitions into the root system. Root Collars are meant to always be exposed and not buried. A buried tree with a buried Root Collar is more susceptible to crown rot and “girdling” or choking of the tree at the base. The Airspade tool is utilized to excavate the root collar by blasting the soil away with air under very high pressure. The Airspade allows Arborists to minimize physical damage to the tree normally seen when using hand-tools.
ROOT COLLAR EXPOSURE/EXCAVATION
ROOT COLLAR EXPOSURE/EXCAVATION This Live Oak now has a properly exposed Root Collar/Root Flare. In order to maintain the exposed area, a tree well using cut limestone will be constructed through a “dry stacking” process.
ROOT COLLAR EXPOSURE/EXCAVATION
ROOT COLLAR EXPOSURE/EXCAVATION A “girdling” or choking root is pictured on the left side of the trunk. This root was removed to allow proper flow of water and nutrients throughout the tree.
ROOT COLLAR EXPOSURE/EXCAVATION
ROOT COLLAR EXPOSURE/EXCAVATION A sharp-shooter shovel was used to provide scale for the size of the tree. The “girdling” or choking root is also no longer present at the base of the tree.
ROOT COLLAR EXPOSURE/EXCAVATION
ROOT COLLAR EXPOSURE/EXCAVATION This picture shows the Root Collar without the “girdling” or choking root around the base of the tree.
ROOT COLLAR EXPOSURE/EXCAVATION
ROOT COLLAR EXPOSURE/EXCAVATION The “girdling” or choking root was removed and the wounds were painted with a tree wound sealant as indicated by the dark black blotches pictured above.
ROOT COLLAR EXPOSURE/EXCAVATION
ROOT COLLAR EXPOSURE/EXCAVATION Tree well constructed by “dry-stacking” cut limestone is utilized to hold back soil permanently.
ROOT COLLAR EXPOSURE/EXCAVATION
ROOT COLLAR EXPOSURE/EXCAVATION Due to the depth of the buried Root Collar, a tree well constructed by “dry-stacking” cut limestone was utilized to hold back the soil permanently.
ROOT COLLAR EXPOSURE/EXCAVATION
ROOT COLLAR EXPOSURE/EXCAVATION This tree has a buried Root Collar as evident by the “telephone pole” look at the base of the tree. The absence of a flare at the base of the tree is evidence of a buried Root Collar. This tree is a candidate for Root Collar Exposure using the Airspade tool.
ROOT COLLAR EXPOSURE/EXCAVATION
ROOT COLLAR EXPOSURE/EXCAVATION This absence of a flare at the trees base is evidence for a buried Root Collar. This tree received Root Collar Exposure. The large wound on the trunk is the aftermath of contact with heavy equipment during the construction of a house. This tree and another Live Oak located just feet away, both show evidence or construction damage and drought stress. Both trees had the Root Collars exposed, the Critical Root Zone aerated to alleviate soil compaction and the root systems were fed with a high-grade, organic, Liquid Compost Extract.
ROOT COLLAR EXPOSURE/EXCAVATION
ROOT COLLAR EXPOSURE/EXCAVATION This Pecan located on the back patio of “Stay Gold”, a bar downtown on East Cest Chavez, had buried “Root Collar”. The Airspade tool pictured above was utilized to blow the soil away from the base of the tree, exposing the Root Collar.

TREE CABLING & BRACING
TREE CABLING & BRACING This Chinese Pistache has a poor union between the two main stems. This tree was “bolted” and a steel cable was installed to provide adequate support and structure to avoid the tree splitting and failing.
TREE BOLTING
TREE BOLTING This co-dominant(multi-trunked) Chinese Pistache has two main stems with a very poor branch union, prone to splitting/failure. A bolt was installed, along with a steel cable in the canopy, to provide adequate support and structure to the tree.

I've used Capitol Tree Care three times on two different properties, and each time the service has been exemplary. James and Justinian are candid and thorough, walking you through your options and making sure every question is answered, and the office staff is friendly and responsive. The tree crews are skilled and take care in their work, and the end result is proof of a job well done. You're guaranteed to have the best looking trees on your block. I highly recommend this company.

I'm writing this review early in my experience because Capitol Tree deserves this feedback. This simply ranks as one of best experiences I've had in requesting and coordinating expertise work to be completed soon. From moment I called office number and spoke with Andy who scheduled the appointment then sent follow up text; to the on-time courteous professional informative meeting with arborist Justinian today about our property; to his efficient detailed estimate, description, and confirmation. Exceptional and rare. Thank you all.

We had Capitol Tree out to prune some live oaks on our lot away from the house. The arborist that stopped by to give an estimate was nice enough to walk me through the other trees/shrubs on the property and give advice on what to do with them as we had just bought the house and the yard needs some TLC. They had a couple weeks lead time to get the arborist out for the quote, but after that we were able to get the services done pretty quickly.

Wow - where to start. See pics - self explanatory.First, scanned the previous reviews....makes sense (5stars)...although the 1star review? Seeeems highly questionable, and doesn't mention anyone on their team (wouldn't trust that review).Regardless, James and his company are unreal - the true epitome of being experts in their field. I called randomly when I saw the vehicle on the road, because other people I tried to speak with, were just not responsive and unreliable. A quote for $1300 for 2 trees to be pruned/trimmed was wild...so I needed to compare. Very high value for the pricing, and quotes will vary depending on your work.Just call them - no need to look anywhere else, but keep reading for more detail.Honest company, an unbelievable amount of knowledge on trees, recommended I do certain things, not to do other things now & also when a better time to do them would be (due to the seasons and temps in the environment), and the workers were great / worked safe / and did an amazing job.You really don't know what great work is until it's complete and you experience something like this type of service. Some pictures here for proof.Will not be choosing anyone else again, and will absolutely use them again in the future for other projects and maintenance upkeep.Stop looking, and commit to this team to do the work for you. TOO EASY.

Hired James for ball moss removal and trimming for a bunch of live oaks and cedar elms at house that hadn't had any tree work in a decade or more. They also removed a live oak that had a major termite infestation and removed the stump. Great service, non-pushy sales / quotes, friendly desk staff, and trees look great.

In 2018 Capitol Tree Care cabled and braced our tree out front. During the ice/snow storms both halves of the tree were heavily laden with ice and snow, and they didn't split apart. Outstanding job - we can't thank you enough for the excellent work you did. It has definitely held up through time and weather.

We have used Capitol Tree Care for our tree-trimming and removal needs for over 3 years now. James and his company are the epitome of professionalism and reliability. They go above and beyond . We would not go with anyone else. James is honest and will let you know if a branch really needs to be cut down - not just doing work for the sake of making money but actually for taking care of your home and the trees.

Our home has over 12 mature Oaks and 8 Cedars and 4 other native trees. We typically get a intensive tree trimming once every 5 years. Since Oak Wilt is a big concern, we make sure we have an ISA certified Arborist do the work. In December 2020, we chose Capital Tree Care as we felt very comfortable with James Burtchell. We could not have been happier with the results. His tree trimming team was professional and worked all day in completing everything in the contract. They were very thorough, respectful of the property and did a great job in the cleanup. There were two Bradford Pear trees that we were having removed as well and they ran out of time to complete that last task. They said they would be back the next day to complete. I got a call from James Burtchell the next day and he said since his crew was busy with their next job, that he would come out and take care of the two trees which he did. Showed dedication by doing the job himself. He also noted that he would rather be out doing this kind of work than in the office doing the "boring" business part. We would highly recommend Capital Tree Care. Although it is smaller than some of the other certified businesses out there; they are building a really good reputation thanks to the owner (James) who is passionate about what he is doing.

I had a large tree that was overhanging my back fence and colliding with delivery trucks that needed some drastic trimming. James came out to talk about the immediate need and to look at the other large trees in the yard, at my request. I'm not currently working so he was kind enough to itemize the recommendations, giving me options to trim or remove the tree, and went over other recommendations in detail to ensure the health of my large trees. The team that did the work were also incredible. They were kind, timely and thorough. They even swept the front porch while clearing the brush. I'm so thrilled to have the danger of the back tree tackled at long last; it makes me happy every time I see it. Looking forward to using them again!

We had a wonderful experience with our tree inspection. They respond promptly to inquiries and each person I’ve interacted with has been highly professional. James is the certified arborist who visited our home. He was running a bit behind due to something lasting longer in the morning than anticipated but the office called me in advance to let me know of the delay. When he arrived, he was thorough and answered all of my questions (despite likely running behind for other customers as well). I appreciate the integrity and honesty of Capitol Tree Care and also the fact that I never felt pressured into purchasing additional services.

James and his team went above and beyond for us! They did quite a bit of tree work at our property cabling up a tree limb, root exposure on several live oaks and cleaning up dead limbs and ball moss out of the canopies. They are extremely knowledgable, priced fairly and do excellent work. I highly recommend them for tree care services!

Moved into a new house that had neglected to take care of a few trees. Hired James and his team to handle tree removal of a smaller tree that was growing into a fence, as well as tree trimming for a live oak in the front yard that the previous owners hadn't taken great care of. The team showed up on time, got the job done quickly, and left no mess. James' insight on other trees on the property and options to replace with higher quality trees was also very helpful. Highly recommend.

My wife and I were convinced that we had a hopelessly diseased tree. Although there are issues with the tree, James showed me that there was no disease, and told me that the tree is a Chinese Elm, not an oak variety as I had thought. All in all he provided invaluable information for caring for the tree. I will definitely call him the next time I have questions about my trees. I have dealt with several other arborists, and James was the most knowledgeable and helpful one - I highly recommend him and Capitol Tree Care.
Lynn Flippen

I appreciated the full staff on communication throughout the project. Very reasonable price and excellent work.
Joe Mink

We had a very large oak tree in my front yard that was causing considerable damage to my driveway so I began researching Austin area arborists to consult with me on solutions to the problem. I received several recommendations for Capitol Tree Care. Right from the start, James Burtchell (owner and certified arborist) was extremely knowledgeable and helpful in reviewing the situation carefully and expertly to determine whether the tree could be saved without potentially exposing the foundation of my house to serious damage. With his input I felt comfortable in the decision to have the tree removed. The office manager was attentive in scheduling the work to be done and answering questions and the tree removal crew worked efficiently in removing the tree and cleaning up completely afterward. I'd definitely recommend James to friends and neighbors for any tree care work.

My husband and I were looking to replace a dead tree in our front yard, and a coworker of mine recommended we use Capitol Tree Care. We are so glad we did! James provides phenomenal service, and he is extremely knowledgeable in the field and takes great pride in his work. He helped us determine what sort of tree would work well for our needs and requirements, and happily answered all of our many questions. When we finally made our decision, his turnaround on planting was quick. The tree is beautiful and was well planted. He gave us care instructions, and has helped us out since then by answering questions and even coming by to look at it when we were worried about the progress (it turned out we were over-watering it, so he told us what to do and said to contact him again in a few weeks if we didn't see improvement). I cannot say enough great things about the quality of care and service he provides. With reasonable prices and top-notch service and quality, I would highly recommend Capitol Tree Care!
