Frequently Asked Questions
ABILENE IS A SEMI-ARID REGION OF SHORT PRAIRIE GRASS, BRUSHLAND AND WOODED STREAM VALLEYS.
Look for trees such as mesquite, juniper, cedar, native pecan, elm, live oak, hackberry, Texas red oak and redbud, and various other plants and wildflowers.
Mesquites require deep watering every so often. Adequate irrigation allows the trees to grow to their full mature height. All mesquites do well in hot weather, as long as you provide adequate water. When mesquites are water-stressed, the trees suffer. If you are treating a sick mesquite tree, the first thing to check is whether it is getting sufficient water.

HOW CAN I TELL IF MY TREE IS DISEASED?
One of the most commonly asked questions by some concerned homeowners. Here are three signs that can help you identify whether a tree is diseased or not:
Color of the leaves: The color of a tree’s leaves is one of the best indicators of its overall health. If the leaves have become brown or yellow before fall, the tree might have Armillaria root rot. This particular condition is caused by a harmful fungus and if left untreated can cause the branches to fall off.
Bark Issues: Bark issues such as flaky or peeling bark instantly indicate the presence of diseases in trees. If plenty of bark is shed off then the tree will die. Make sure you call a professional tree service before it’s too late.
Bleeding: Fluid seeping is a sign of late-stage infection in a tree. You may notice foul-smelling liquid running down from the sides of the trees. In this case, fertilize the tree and call an Arborist to inspect the tree’s health.
IF A TREE NEEDS TO BE REMOVED, WILL MY PROPERTY BE PROTECTED?
Brad’s Tree Service has proudly served Abilene Big Country for over 15 years without one safety hazard incident claim. Our Insurance company loves us. Our expert tree care team takes all the required precautions necessary to safely remove any tree while protecting the landscape. Our team lays down protective material when necessary and with the help of our experienced crew and latest equipment, we make sure your property is clean.
WHAT TIME OF YEAR SHOULD I TRIM MY TREES?
Although we trim trees every day of the year, the ultimate best time is in the winter or summer months. In the winter, the insect and disease organisms are dormant. In addition, the trees are either in a dormant or semi-dormant state. Another benefit is that the trees will heal over faster from pruning cuts made in the winter, when the spring “early wood” kicks in with the faster spring growth. Summer can also be a good time to prune Oak Wilt susceptible trees because the beetles that carry the disease are typically dormant.
WHY REMOVE A STUMP?
In most cases, stump grinding is done so the lawn can re-grow where the stump used to be, and so the lawn mower blades aren’t compromised. In flower beds, stump grinding is mostly aesthetic, but can also help keep the carpenter ant and termite populations down from exposed and rotting stump wood. Also, cedar stumps can take many years to break down due to the rot-resistant tannins in the wood, so many people opt to have them ground out regardless of location.
WHY DO I NEED TO PRUNE MY TREES?
Trees are required to be pruned for a number of reasons such as safety, aesthetics, and tree health. If a tree’s branches grow too big for the tree to handle or close to the house roof or chimney, they need to be pruned and cleared to avoid any hazard from damaging your home or harming you. As per aesthetics, pruning helps in making the tree look better and gives a neater and more appealing view of your property. However, make sure to avoid over-pruning( that kills the trees), DIY pruning from an unskilled person can damage the trees and property.
IS THERE ANYTHING I CAN DO TO SPEED UP BLOOMING?
Unfortunately, there is not much you can do. Sometimes high-phosphorous “bloom foods’” can help, but it’s recommended you don’t use them unless a soil test shows that they’re needed. Another recommendation is to avoid heavy pruning prior to bloom.
WHY IS MY TREE NOT BLOOMING?
Over-Pruning or Pruning at the wrong time can reduce blooming. Additionally, deficiency of nutrients, poor drainage, and adding too much nitrogen fertilizer can slow down blooming. Make sure you get a soil test done and learn about the proper amounts of water needed for different trees to bloom.
