What to Expect When You Hire a Tree Services Company in Arlington

My name is Walmer Hernandez, and I have run BDS Services LLC in Arlington, TX since I started in the tree business in 2006. If you have not hired a tree services company before, it can feel like a leap. This is how the job actually works from the first phone call to the final cleanup, and what to ask before you hire anyone.

How our process works, step by step

I keep the process simple and I keep it honest. You should never wonder what happens next.

1. You request your free estimate

It starts when you call (682) 240-1290 or send us your job details through the estimate form. Tell me what you are seeing, the tree, the problem and the address. I do not charge to come look. Every estimate is free.

2. We confirm the details and the price

I come out and look at the tree, the space around it and anything we have to work around, your roof, your fence, power lines. We agree on what gets done and what it costs before we schedule anything. The price I confirm with you is the price you pay.

3. We do the job

On the day, we take the tree down in sections, lowering each piece so nothing drops where it should not. For pruning, we remove the deadwood, thin the canopy and raise the low branches off the roof. If there is a stump, we grind it below grade.

4. We clean up and make sure you are happy

We chip the branches, cut the trunk into rounds, and clean up the site so you would barely know we were there. I walk the job with you before we leave. If something is not right, we fix it. That is the reputation I have built for 20 years, and I do not cut corners on it.

Questions to ask any tree company

Whether you hire us or someone else, ask these before anyone climbs your tree. A good company answers them plainly.

• Are you licensed and insured? Ask to see proof before work starts.
• Is the estimate free, and will the price change once you begin?
• Who will actually be on my property, and how will you protect the roof, fence and lawn?
• How will you take the tree down, and what happens to the branches and trunk?
• Do you grind the stump, and is that included or a separate price?
• What happens if there is damage, and how do you make it right?
• What hours do you work, and when can you get me on the schedule?

For us the answers are straightforward. Licensed and insured, yes. Free estimate, yes. We protect what is under and around the tree, we clean up, and we grind stumps below grade when you want them gone. Monday through Saturday, seven to five. And if something is wrong, we fix it.

What a good visit looks like

When I come out for the estimate, I am not there to sell you something you do not need. I walk the tree with you, point out what I see, and explain the options. If a tree only needs a prune, I tell you that. If it has to come down, I tell you why, and I show you the deadwood, the lean or the split that makes it a hazard. You get to make the call with the full picture.

On the work day, we show up when we said we would. We protect the grass and the structures under the tree, we lower each piece so nothing free-falls, and we chip and haul everything we cut. By the time we leave, the site is clean. Then I walk it with you one more time. If a branch missed the chipper or a limb landed wrong, we fix it before we go.

That whole loop, the estimate, the confirmed price, the clean work, the walk-through, is the part I am proudest of. It is how I have earned the trust of Arlington homeowners and property managers for 20 years, one job at a time.
