Rothco Tree Service, LLC

strive to keep our community's trees as healthy as possible. However, in the event of a necessary removal, we like to stay as safe as possible. With our team of highly skilled professionals, working full time (no subcontractors), we've received numerous awards via The Woodlands Online and Angie's List as well as competed in tree climbing and ax competitions in the Houston area. Plus, with over 10 years of industry experience, our owners and crew have worked through hurricanes, droughts, infestations, and more. When the job is done, we do a GREAT job of cleaning up the property so you don't worry about a thing! Rothco provides all of our clients with free estimates at your convenience. You can schedule appointments after office hour- including weekends... because if a tree has fallen on your house, there is no reason you should wait until the work week to have it removed. In addition, we are one of only a handful of tree companies that carry workers compensation to ensure our clients are fully protected. We specialize in providing services to the wide variety of trees in the local climate. Trees become very stressed during drought and lack of water over a long period of time can kill the trees. During times of drought, trees often show the effects of the hot, dry weather and continue to die even if the rain does come back, if a tree is dying it can be very dangerous and unstable and even fall on your home. Signs of a dying tree: broken limbs, leaves eaten by insects, substantial damage to the trunk or roots, dead or dying limbs discolored or wilted leaves, sawdust in the root zone or trunk base, fungi growth at the base of the tree, hollow and decayed areas, mushrooms and insect damage. Stressed pine trees may be attacked by pine bark beetles, usually one or more of the three species of engraver beetles. These insects fly to a weakened or stressed pine tree and attack by boring through the bark. They feed and lay their eggs between the bark and the wood. Once the needles on a pine tree turn red, the tree is dead, and there is nothing that can be done to save it. Hardwood or broad leaved trees such as oaks, maples, hickories, etc., will not be attacked by pine bark beetles, but drought will take its toll on these trees, too. Trees are very unpredictable once they have been through drought. They can catch diseases such as root decay and blotches that lead to fungi growth. Dying trees in a drought can also cause pest problems (beetles and moths) for a home so it is important for homeowners to seek a company such as ourselves to remove that problem. Tree Injections are also an option to protect your trees from bacteria, disease and pest but it is not a guaranteed process.
