Tree roots, though often overlooked in favor of their leafy counterparts above ground, play an essential role in a tree’s health and the overall wellness of our environment.

Why Does Root Health Matter?
Roots are the heart and soul of a tree. They anchor the tree into the ground, drawing in vital nutrients and water from the soil, ensuring that our beloved trees grow tall and robust. Healthy roots lead to a healthy tree, and understanding their intricate nature is key to ensuring their well-being.
Environmental Significance
In Texas, our ecosystems are diverse, and the trees play an integral role in maintaining the balance. From the broad, sweeping branches of our iconic live oaks to the towering pines, trees are a defining feature of our landscape. But just as the visible parts of the trees have roles—providing shade, homes for wildlife, and even improving air quality—their roots are silently working beneath the surface, preventing soil erosion, storing carbon, and enhancing water quality.

Common Root Issues and Solutions
Serving Dallas With Root Management
Root Girdling: This happens when roots circle or wrap around the base of a tree, potentially strangling it and preventing it from accessing nutrients.
Preventative measures, such as proper planting techniques, are best. However, in established trees, careful excavation and root pruning by professionals like us can alleviate this issue.
Root Rot: Often caused by fungal pathogens, root rot weakens and eventually kills roots, making the tree susceptible to falling.
Proper watering techniques and ensuring good drainage can help prevent root rot. In cases where root rot is detected, it’s essential to consult an ISA Certified Arborist for guidance.
Overcrowding Roots: In areas with limited space, tree roots can become crowded, limiting their ability to absorb nutrients and water.
Root pruning, guided by a skilled arborist, can help mitigate this issue, promoting healthier root growth and reducing competition.

Best Practices for Tree Root Care
Get Started (469) 990-5679
Proper Watering: Especially crucial during Texas’s hotter months, deep and infrequent watering helps roots grow deeper and stronger, ensuring they have a steady supply of the essential resources they need.
Mulching: A layer of mulch around the base of a tree can help retain moisture, control temperature, and suppress weed growth. However, it’s crucial to avoid “mulch volcanoes,” or mounds of mulch piled against the tree trunk, which can cause decay.
Regular Inspections: Regular check-ups by ISA Certified Arborists, like the experts at Texas Tree Transformations, can help detect issues before they escalate, ensuring your trees remain healthy and vibrant for generations to come.

Kyle and his team did a fantastic job! Quick and professional service.

I met Kyle several years ago when I was looking for someone to trip our trees in Casa View Estates. He told me that it was the wrong time of year to trim trees and asked that I call him back in the Fall. I did and he did a wonderful job trimming and caring for our 60+ tree old pecan trees. We recently moved to The Colony and he was the first one I thought of when I needed a Bradford Pear removed. He sent Jason to estimate the job and identified two other trees that were too sick to save. We now have sunshine in our backyard. They will treat out sick trees and then trim all of our trees in the Fall. Texas Tree Transformations is honest, does quality work, and arrives when they say they will! Kyle and his crew are the best!

I called this company to help with a fallen limb after a storm, and a general tree trimming cleanup. I got scheduled for two days out which was very fast compared to other companies, and was given a fair quote. Kyle went above and beyond by coming over after his usual work day to help cut down the fallen limb before our scheduled trimming to make sure there wouldn’t be any further damage. They were very informative about the tree health, and made sure to preserve as much as possible. I would definitely recommend this company and will be using them again in the future.

I've used Kyle and his team four times now for a variety of services—removing a very large tree, trimming after a freeze, storm cleanup and general maintenance. Truth is, they are now my first call when I have any tree issues at all. The work is quality, the team is professional, the rates are more than fair. I can also depend on them to arrive when they say they will and clean up so it looks like they were never there. They've been super responsive when storms in the neighborhood have left a mess. And above all, they're fabulous to work with. They're all personable, high integrity, caring individuals. And the company is founded on giving back to the community. I simply can't recommend them highly enough.

Late last December Texas Tree Transformation trimmed my trees which hadn’t been cared for in several years. They did a perfect job from the estimate, scheduling and delivering the service.
The clean up was impeccable! My neighbor was so impressed he signed them up as well.
To top it off, they delivered the service at a lower price than I had budgeted. I highly recommend them.
In April again this year, I had another great experience with Texas Tree Transformation. They came to my rescue when I needed to remove two 30-foot trees that were posing a safety hazard. They offered me a reasonable price and did an excellent job. They left no mess behind and were very professional and courteous. I highly recommend them and will definitely use them again in the future.

Kyle and his team did an excellent job at trimming and cabling our two large red oak trees. After years of these trees being neglected before we moved in, we hired TTT to trim, prune, and even cable one of the trees. They were professional, on time, efficient, did a great job, and they cleaned up everything after. Kyle went above and beyond. Not only were they great at what they did, but they were friendly and easy to work with. We were very pleased with Texas Tree Transformations- we have used them twice now and will be calling them again in the future.

Kyle did an awesome job with our tree removal. His arborist came in, evaluated the tree and I had a quote quickly. He schedule my removal in a timely manner and I couldn’t believe how quick his team was able to take down my diseased tree. What’s even better is that they cleaned everything up perfectly so you wouldn’t even know they were there (minus the grounded stump in the yard). I’d highly recommend Texas Tree Transformations - you can’t get any better than them!

Every once and too long you come across someone who really knows their business. Kyle and his crew fit that description having trimmed trees and removed a tree followed by a stump grind for us with great attention to detail and a fair price. Highly recommended.

Kyle, Jason and the rest of the crew at Texas Tree Transformations continue to exceed my expectations. I needed my trees trimmed, and instead of just taking my money, they actually advised me that now was NOT the time to trim my specific trees, for the health of the tree. I was so impressed I hired them to do some removal and other work, and scheduled the trimming for later this summer when it would not harm my trees. Kyle also took the time to explain how important proper regular tree maintenance, like feeding and conditioning, were for the overall health of the trees. Could not be happier, and could not recommend TTT more strongly.
