Canopy Shape & Balance
Our canopy reshaping service is what we do most often. Most trees in our eco system have very unhealthy growth patterns that have evolved over time due to overpopulation, cedar dominance, drought and lack of care.
We often see branches that are growing downward with little or no horizontal lift. This type of growth is usually due to the tree’s effort to get to sunlight. Many times, one side of the canopy will be overly dominant compared to the other side. And sometimes there are too many trees resulting in overpopulation.
Many canopies will have too much underbelly growth. This type of growth pattern is unhealthy and creates stress on the tree. Trees with too much underbelly growth put extra demand on the root system to provide water that in most cases, it doesn’t have.
Trees not cared for can have multiple layers sandwiched together. This is unhealthy and adds additional stress to the tree because it is unable to get needed sunlight.
Why Tribemania?
Most tree service companies primarily trim only the dead branches. This type of trimming is only aesthetic and does not improve the overall health of the tree. We use a proprietary cutting pattern that reshapes the canopies to where they have balanced and healthy growth patterns.
This type of cut reverses the declining process of the tree and gives the tree a new healthy growth pattern. By properly shaping and balancing the tree, intake and uptake of water and nutrients needed is enhanced. This also reduces unwanted leaf and branch population, allowing the tree to more efficiently intake water.
Tribemania’s shape and balance cut is especially important in the oak population because of the connected roots. The connected roots of live oaks are a much more complex than other tree species. Because of the interconnected and shallow root systems, other trees nearby can also be unbalanced and therefore stressed.
Included with our shape and balance cut is a root inoculation that helps boost the root systems ability to take in water. You can learn more about this in Root Inoculation Service.

Canopy Reshaping Service
Pricing on the Canopy Reshaping Service will vary from job to job and it is based upon the number of zones. A zone is an area of trees that are tapping into the same soil zone area. For example the front yard and the back yard could each be a zone depending upon how large the area is determines the number of zones. The scope in each zone is the shape and balance cut, hauling off the cuttings and a 200 gallon root inoculation. I will perform an onsite assessment to determine the number of zones on your property that enables you to prioritize how many zones are in your budget. Each zone is a cost of $3,500.00.

What people are saying.
“Our new home in Canyon Lake is a dream come true for us but was in real need of tree maintenance. After hiring a crew to get some cedar cleared I read an article Mike Standridge had written about oak wilt and decided give him a call. It was without a doubt the right call to make. He educated me on so much about the trees then began his work. I am amazed at the new beauty of the property and comfortable that the trees will steadily improve in health. Thanks Mike for all your help.”
“The job that Mike did on my trees was amazing!!! He is fast and did an amazing job. They were very over grown. It is so nice to be able to actually see our whole yard again! We would HIGHLY recommend them to help you with your trees! If you wonder if you need your trees trimmed call them. They are so knowledgeable, and we know you won’t be steered wrong!”
“Mike did a great job for us and improved the looks of our property. He worked quickly and efficiently. We weren’t sure how we wanted our trees cut but after listening to Mike, we decided to go with his technique. If you have concerns about your trees, it would do well to give Mike five minutes of your time. Super guy and super work-Thank you Mike.”
“A big shout out to Mike Standridge with Tribemania Tree Services! Mike and his team did a fabulous job pruning my oaks to promote a healthy growth pattern and to minimize the stressors that have been affecting their upward growth. He was very responsive and was able to start and complete the job very quickly for me. As many of you have probably seen Mike’s educational posts on Nextdoor, it is clear that he knows the oaks in our area. Support our local businesses and call Mike at 361-389-6894.”
