Texas Tree Team

What Texas Tree Team does

Texas Tree Team is a Houston-based professional tree care and arborist consulting company serving residential, commercial, and construction/development clients across the Houston metropolitan area. The company delivers a comprehensive service portfolio spanning tree trimming and pruning (crown raising, thinning, cleaning, reduction), tree removal (including crane-assisted, emergency, and zero-impact methods), stump grinding, land clearing, plant healthcare (fertilization, pest control, soil remediation, root collar repair, root zone invigoration, cabling and bracing), and arborist consulting (tree health and risk evaluation, tree value appraisal, expert witness testimony, pre-construction preservation planning, soil and leaf tissue analysis, tree management plans). All field operations adhere to ANSI A300 and ANSI Z133 safety standards and are delivered with full general liability and workman's compensation coverage.

The underlying delivery model is a field-services operation led by ISA Board Certified Master Arborist Glen Ginzel, who holds additional TRAQ, CTSP, and ASCA credentials and personally consults on over 500 cases annually. Core technology consists of standard arborist equipment (climbing gear, chainsaws, pole saws, rigging equipment, stump grinders, and Air-Spade root excavation systems) rather than proprietary software platforms. The company maintains an educational content marketing presence via an "Ask an Arborist" blog authored by Ginzel and has accumulated 14 years of BBB A+ recognition and seven consecutive years of Angie's List Super Service Awards in Houston.

The business model is project-based professional services revenue: customers contact via phone, email, or website form, after which a certified arborist conducts an on-site evaluation and provides a written per-job estimate; no standardized pricing tiers are publicly disclosed. GTM is sales-led and direct, with no third-party distribution, and the company markets primarily through SEO/local search, content marketing, and review platforms. In February 2024 Texas Tree Team merged with SavATree and now operates as SavATree's Houston branch (formerly Arbor Care), with Ginzel and existing staff retained for continuity.

Scale indicators3 records

Recent moves4 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Asplundh Tree Expert Company: Large utility and commercial tree care provider specializing in line-clearance, right-of-way, and vegetation management. Comparable in core tree care execution and equipment-intensive operations, though oriented toward utility-scale work rather than residential/consulting arborist services like Texas Tree Team.
• Bartlett Tree Experts: National tree care company with scientific arboriculture focus, offering pruning, removals, plant healthcare, and consulting arborist services for residential and commercial clients. Directly overlapping service lines and credentialed-arborist positioning make it a strong comparable to Texas Tree Team's premium, expertise-led offering.
• TruGreen: Largest U.S. lawn and tree care service company, offering fertilization, weed/pest control, and tree and shrub services to residential customers. Comparable in plant healthcare and residential customer base; broader and more commoditized than Texas Tree Team's credentialed arborist positioning.
• Wright Tree Service: National vegetation management and tree care company serving utilities and municipalities. Comparable in tree-care operations and equipment footprint, though primarily oriented toward utility line clearance rather than residential/consulting arborist services.
• Davey Tree Expert Company: One of the largest employee-owned tree care companies in North America, offering residential and commercial tree and lawn services across the U.S. Comparable service offering (pruning, removal, plant healthcare, consulting) at much greater scale; serves as the broad incumbent benchmark for the category Texas Tree Team operates in.

Direct peers

• Monster Tree Service: National franchise tree service provider offering pruning, removal, stump grinding, and plant healthcare to residential and commercial customers. Closely comparable local-services business model and customer profile to Texas Tree Team, with a franchise-driven scaling approach.
• SavATree: National tree and shrub care provider that acquired Texas Tree Team in 2024 and now operates the Houston branch (formerly Arbor Care). Directly comparable service mix (pruning, removal, plant healthcare, consulting arborist services) and customer base; effectively Texas Tree Team's parent and most direct peer.

Others

• Arbor Day Foundation Commercial Services: Industry-aligned nonprofit that promotes tree planting and care, connects consumers to tree services, and supports credentialing in arboriculture. Relevant as ecosystem/credentialing counterpart to Texas Tree Team's Master Arborist and ASCA-affiliated positioning rather than as a direct competitor.
