Caring for Trees That Have Been There a While

Larga Vista started as its own small census place and is now part of Laredo, which means tree service here falls under the city's rules. In 2000 the census counted 742 people in Larga Vista on about 0.77 square miles, with 193 housing units. Laredo surrounded it, and before the 2010 census it lost its separate status. Today it is treated as a Laredo neighborhood.

Pruning mature shade trees

A yard that has been lived in for decades usually has at least one big tree that defines it. Those trees are worth caring for, and the work is different from trimming a young tree:

Crown cleaning removes dead, broken and rubbing branches throughout the canopy.
Crown raising lifts the lowest limbs for clearance over a drive, sidewalk or roof.
Reduction cuts shorten long limbs back to a strong side branch, taking weight off the end without leaving stubs.

We avoid removing more than a modest share of the live canopy at one time. Heavy cuts on an older tree in a hot climate can do more harm than the limbs they remove.

Signs an older tree needs attention

Look for dead limbs in the upper crown, cracks where two trunks meet, mushrooms or soft wood at the base, and a new lean. Any of these is worth a closer look before the next big wind.

Inside city limits

Because Larga Vista is within Laredo, a tree on the street side of your lot may be partly in the city right-of-way. Before removing a tree near the curb or sidewalk, check with the City of Laredo about whether it is yours to remove. For trees fully on your lot, we provide a written scope you can share if the city asks.

Family homes, family-sized yards

In 2000 the average household here had just over four people, and three of every four households were married couples, many with kids. Yards that get used hard need trees that are safe to play under. Raising low limbs, removing deadwood over play areas and taking out trees with weak forks keeps the space usable.

Stumps from old removals

Older lots often have stumps from trees removed long ago. We grind them out so the ground can be leveled, seeded or built on.

Larga Vista Questions

How much can you safely cut off a mature tree?

Less than most people expect. We keep pruning moderate so the tree keeps enough leaves to feed itself through a hot summer, and spread heavier work over more than one season if needed.

Is the tree by my curb mine or the city's?

It depends on where the property line falls. Check with the City of Laredo before removing a tree near the street.

My big tree has a crack between two trunks. Is that serious?

It can be. A crack at a fork is one of the more common ways large trees fail. Have it looked at soon, before the next storm.
