Meet Your Local Arborist – Gary Zimmerman

Gary Zimmerman – Certified Arborist
Owner & Operator of Tree Masters Tree Service
Serving DFW Since 1988

You’re not just hiring a tree cutter — you’re hiring an arborist who understands:

Tree biology
Proper pruning and structure
Tree risk and safety
Disease and pest diagnosis
How every cut affects the tree’s long-term health

For over 35 years, Gary has helped homeowners and businesses across the Dallas–Fort Worth Metroplex protect their trees, improve safety, and prevent costly damage.

What Is an Arborist — and Why Does It Matter?

An arborist is a specialist in the care, health, and safety of trees, including:

Tree trimming and pruning done the right way
Tree risk assessments (leaning, cracking, heavy limbs)
Diagnosis and treatment of tree diseases and pests
Tree preservation and structural support (cabling & bracing)
When to save a tree vs. when to remove it

There is a big difference between a tree cutter and a certified arborist:

A tree cutter focuses on getting branches on the ground.
An arborist focuses on why and how to cut, so the tree stays healthy, safe, and strong for years to come.

Your trees are an investment in your property. The wrong cuts can damage or even kill them.

The right arborist can add decades to their life.

Arborist Services We Provide

Tree Masters’ arborist services cover the full life cycle of your trees:

Tree Health Diagnosis

We evaluate your trees for:

Signs of disease or decay
Pest infestations (borers, beetles, fungi, etc.)
Root problems and soil issues
Environmental stress (drought, compaction, construction damage)

Tree Disease & Pest Treatment

When possible, we treat and preserve trees instead of removing them.
We offer:

Disease identification and treatment plans
Insect and borer control options
Fertilization and soil amendment recommendations
Monitoring and follow-up care

Proper Tree Trimming & Pruning (Arborist-Guided)

An arborist guides how much to trim, where to cut, and what to leave, to:

Improve tree health and structure
Reduce risk of limb failure
Maintain natural shape and beauty
Avoid “topping” and other harmful practices

Tree Risk & Safety Assessments

We inspect trees for:

Cracks, splits, and cavities
Leaning or uprooting
Heavy limbs over roofs, driveways, and play areas
Structural weaknesses and storm damage

If a tree is too risky, we can recommend tree removal (and handle it safely).
If it can be saved, we may recommend:

Cabling & bracing
Selective pruning
Ongoing monitoring

Tree Preservation & Construction Protection

Planning a remodel, pool, or new construction near mature trees?

We can:

Assess which trees can safely remain
Recommend tree protection zones

Saving the right tree now can add huge value to your property later.

Do I Need an Arborist?

You may need an arborist if:

A tree is leaning, cracked, or dropping large limbs
You see mushrooms, fungus, or decay on the trunk or roots
Parts of the tree are suddenly dying back
You suspect insects or borers
A tree is too close to your house, pool, or driveway
You’ve had recent storm damage
You’re planning a remodel, driveway, or pool near mature trees
You want to avoid unnecessary removals and save valuable trees

When in doubt, it’s cheaper to ask an arborist now than to pay for emergency damage later.

Arborist FAQ

What is the difference between a tree service and a certified arborist?

A tree service may know how to cut trees; a certified arborist is trained, tested, and experienced in tree biology, safety, disease, and proper pruning. Arborists look at the long-term health and safety of your trees—not just getting the job done quickly.

When should I call an arborist?

Any time you’re unsure about a tree’s health, safety, or stability. Also before major pruning, construction, or removing an important tree.

Can an arborist help me decide whether to remove or save a tree?

Yes. We can evaluate risk, health, and long-term viability, and recommend either treatment and preservation or safe removal when necessary.

Do arborists treat tree diseases and insects?

Yes. Arborists are trained to diagnose tree diseases and pest problems and recommend appropriate treatments or management plans.

Are you insured?

Yes. Tree Masters Tree Service is fully insured, and all work is performed with safety as the top priority.

Do you provide written recommendations?

Yes. We can provide written assessments and recommendations for tree care, removal, or preservation as needed.
