Local Tree Care
Tree Care Built Around Navasota
Navasota is old, and so are its trees. The Victorian houses in the historic district sit under pecans and oaks that have been there longer than the paint on the porches, and the railroad district carries the same story on a bigger scale.
Down toward the river bottom, the work changes completely. Bottomland timber, saturated soils and trees leaning over drives and outbuildings mean we spend as much time assessing root plates as we do pruning canopies.
Navasota is one of our closest towns, and we are through Grimes County most weeks.

What We Get Called Out For In Navasota
These are the three issues that bring us to Navasota properties most often.
Bottomland Decay
Trees along the Navasota River bottom stand in saturated ground for long stretches. Butt rot and root plate decay develop out of sight, and the first sign is often a lean that was not there last year.
Overgrown Historic Shade Trees
Downtown Navasota's oldest trees shade Victorian houses and storefronts. Decades without pruning leaves heavy horizontal limbs over roofs and sidewalks with no reduction cuts behind them.
Volunteer Hackberry And Chinaberry
Fence lines and back lots fill with weak-wooded volunteers that crowd the good trees and break apart in the first real storm.
Growing Conditions

About Navasota
Navasota sits in Grimes County where the prairie gives way to the Navasota River bottom, about halfway between Brenham and Bryan. The historic downtown and Railroad District are shaded by big pecans and water oaks, and the older residential streets carry canopy trees that have been in place for a century.
Out toward Washington-on-the-Brazos and the river bottom the timber gets dense and the soils stay wetter, which grows fast, heavy limbs with weak attachment. Storm damage and decay in those bottomland hardwoods make up a large share of the calls we take in Navasota.

Season by Season
Seasonal Tree Risks in Navasota
What the weather does to trees here changes through the year, and so does the work that makes sense in Navasota.
Storms coming up the Brazos corridor hit Navasota hard, and old pecans holding decay in the main union are what we clear off roofs afterward.
Post oaks on the sandy ridges around town hate sudden watering changes, and a stressed post oak declines quietly for a season before it shows.
Deadwood is easy to spot once the canopy thins, so this is when we clean out the big downtown trees efficiently.
Dormant season removals and reductions on acreage, when equipment can cross pasture without tearing it up.
