Healthy Trees: What It Takes to Keep Your Landscape Thriving

Healthy trees are more than just an attractive feature—they contribute to property value, provide essential shade, support local wildlife, and serve as natural windbreaks. At Davis Tree Service, we know what it takes to keep trees strong, stable, and flourishing year-round.

In Montgomery, TX, where storms, soil challenges, and heat can all take a toll, regular tree care is essential. Here’s how we help maintain healthy trees for both residential and commercial properties.


Why Tree Health Matters

A healthy tree offers more than just beauty:

  • Strong root systems stabilize soil and prevent erosion

  • Full canopies reduce cooling costs by shading homes and driveways

  • Healthy limbs resist storm damage and require fewer emergency removals

  • Proper growth prevents conflict with structures, fences, and utilities

Neglected trees may look fine from a distance, but can hide internal decay, disease, or structural weaknesses that create long-term risks.


Signs of a Healthy Tree

Whether newly planted or decades old, here’s what to look for:

  • Even leaf color and density through the canopy

  • Bark intact and free from deep cracks or pests

  • Upright, balanced trunk with no leaning

  • No excessive dead limbs or dropped branches

  • Consistent growth from season to season

If your tree lacks any of these, it might be time for a checkup.

Tree Services That Promote Healthy Growth

Pruning & Trimming

Regular trimming reduces stress on limbs, removes dead wood, and improves air circulation within the canopy.

Soil & Root Assessment

Poor soil or compacted roots can limit water uptake. Our team evaluates root health and recommends aeration or mulching when needed.

Storm Prep & Damage Recovery

In Montgomery’s unpredictable climate, proactive trimming before storm season helps prevent breakage. After a storm, our assessments identify hidden issues in stressed trees.

Full Tree Removal (When Necessary)

Sometimes maintaining tree health means removing a hazardous or dying specimen. Removal protects surrounding plants and opens space for healthy growth.


Our Process

When working with Davis Tree Service, tree care begins with an on-site evaluation. We inspect visible signs of stress, structural balance, and environmental factors. If work is needed, our team develops a plan tailored to your goals and your property.

Regular inspections catch these issues before they become major problems.
