Why would a tree in a young community need to come out?

Bridgeland’s trees are mostly planted, many raised from seedlings on the community’s own tree farm. Planted trees fail for different reasons than old ones:

They never rooted. A tree set out in a hot, dry stretch can struggle for years and then die. The tree farm article on Bridgeland reports about 150 acres were replanted after a drought year.
They were placed too close. A live oak set a few feet from a slab or a fence will, at full size, be far too big for that spot.
They split. A young tree with two equal trunks can tear apart in a strong wind if it was never pruned to one leader.
They were hit by a storm. On the open edge of the Katy Prairie, wind has a long run at young trees.

How is a Bridgeland removal done?

For a small or mid-size tree on an open lot, the job is short. The crew checks what the tree could hit, cuts the limbs, fells the trunk into the clear part of the yard, chips the brush and hauls the wood. For a larger tree or one near the house, the crew climbs and lowers sections by rope instead. Lots on Mallard Lake, Ramey Lake, Josey Lake or another water edge get the extra step of keeping equipment off soft banks and every piece of debris out of the water.

Many homeowners want a replacement planted afterward. In that case the stump is ground in the same visit so the spot is ready; see stump grinding in Bridgeland.

Should the tree be removed or saved?

Young trees are often worth saving. A tree with a weak fork or a few dead limbs may only need corrective pruning; see tree trimming in Bridgeland. A tree with a dead top, a girdling root wrapped around the trunk at the base, a crack through the main stem, or a spot right against the foundation is usually better replaced while it is still small.

Who needs to approve it?

Bridgeland is in unincorporated Harris County, and no county permit for private-lot tree removal was found for this page. The community’s own tree and design-review rules were not confirmed here. Ask the Bridgeland association before removing a front-yard tree or choosing a replacement, and keep the answer in writing.

Frequently asked questions

My young tree died in its third summer. Can it just be pulled?

A small dead tree is cut low and the stump ground, so a replacement can go in nearby.

What is a girdling root?

A root that wraps around the base of the trunk. As both grow, it can choke the tree. It is common on trees grown in containers.

Can a tree be removed from a lot that backs onto a lake?

Yes. The crew lowers wood toward the yard and keeps equipment off the bank.

How quickly can a small tree come out?

A small tree on an open lot is often a short job. The estimate visit gives you the plan.

Will the HOA want a new tree?

It may. Ask the association when you request approval so the replacement is part of the plan.

Can the wood be left for firewood?

Yes, if you ask. With oak, keep it on your property, since moving unseasoned oak firewood can spread oak wilt.
