Trees shaped like they grew that way.
A good trim disappears. No stubs, no flat tops, no butchered crepe myrtles. Just a yard that looks cared for, because it is.
What a visit covers
From one overgrown live oak to a full row of hedges. Elan walks it with you, agrees the shape, and leaves nothing behind but the trees.
Canopy raising and thinning
Live oaks, elms, and pecans opened up so light reaches the lawn, with clearance over walks and roofs and less sail area when spring storms hit.
Hedges and shaping
Hedges, crepe myrtles, and ornamentals cut to hold their line, not just cut back. Topped clean, not butchered.
Palm cleaning
Dead fronds and seed pods off, trunks skinned clean on sabal and fan palms. The look that reads from the street.
Storm prep
Weight out of the crown before storm season, so the first big gust is not the thing that prunes your tree.
Removals
Dead, dying, or in the wrong place. Taken down in sections, safely, with the stump handled.
Cleanup and haul away
Every frond, every branch, gone the same day. The yard is cleaner than we found it.
Timing rules
- Live oaks: July through January, never in oak wilt season
- Crepe myrtles: late winter, and never topped
- Palms: late spring, after seed pods
Timing matters more than most people think
Live oaks in Central Texas should not be cut between February and June, when oak wilt spreads through fresh wounds. Crepe myrtles want a light shaping in late winter, never a chainsaw across the top. Palms want late spring, after the seed pods push, so one climb takes both.
Tell us what is growing and we will tell you honestly whether now is the time, or whether waiting a month saves the tree.

Elan looks at every tree with you, quotes the whole job on the spot, and usually cuts the same week. Cleanup and haul away are always included.

Give the street something to look up at.
Clean trunks, shaped canopies, and a yard with nothing left on the ground.
