Why August is a Smart Time for Light Tree Trimming in Texas
Posted by rentalstop in General on August 7, 2025
After a rainy summer across DFW, your trees may be looking a little… wild. Late summer — particularly August through early September — is actually a great time to do some light tree trimming. While major pruning is best done in winter, strategic shaping and maintenance cuts now can improve your yard’s health, safety, and curb appeal.
Why Trim Now?
Texas heat can be brutal, but by late August, most trees have slowed their summer growth. That makes it easier to spot problem limbs — dead branches, low-hanging hazards, or limbs rubbing against your home, fence, or power lines.
It’s also a good time to clean up any growth caused by early-summer storms. All that rain we’ve had this year may have produced rapid, uneven growth. A quick trim helps maintain tree shape, prevents damage in fall storms, and promotes healthy regrowth when cooler temps arrive.
What to Trim
Focus on:
- Dead or damaged limbs
- Branches crowding walkways, roofs, or gutters
- Suckers or water sprouts at the base of the trunk
- Limbs that cross or rub against each other
Avoid cutting large, structural limbs — those are best handled in winter by a professional.
The Right Tools for the Job
Having the right equipment makes trimming safer and easier. At Rental Stop, we carry:
• Pole Saws for those hard-to-reach limbs
• Chainsaws for thicker branches
• Wood Chippers to clean up the mess quickly and easily
• Log Splitters to turn limbs into stacked firewood for fall and winter
Not sure what you need? Our team can help you find the right equipment and safety gear for your weekend project.
A Little Trim Goes a Long Way
By taking time this August to do light tree trimming, you’ll not only improve the look of your yard, but also help your trees stay healthy heading into fall. So grab your gloves — and rent the right tools — to shape up your landscape while the sun’s still shining.

Spring Tree Trimming Made Easy: Step-by-Step Solutions Before the First Bloom
Posted by rentalstop in General on February 6, 2025
As winter fades and spring approaches, it’s the perfect time to prepare your trees for a season of healthy growth. Trimming your trees between mid-February and March ensures they are ready to flourish when warmer weather arrives. Proper tree maintenance not only enhances the beauty of your landscape but also promotes tree health and safety. Follow these simple steps to make your spring tree trimming easy and effective.
Step 1: Assess Your Trees
Before grabbing your tools, take a close look at your trees. Identify dead, damaged, or overgrown branches that need removal. Look for signs of disease, such as discolored leaves, fungi growth, or weak limbs. If a tree has significant damage or disease, consult a professional arborist for advice.
Step 2: Gather the Right Equipment
Having the proper tools makes trimming easier and safer. Renting Rental Stop’s high-quality equipment will help get the job done efficiently. Essential tools include:
• Chainsaws – Perfect for cutting larger branches
• Pole Saws – Ideal for reaching high limbs without a ladder
• Chippers – Great for turning trimmed branches into useful mulch
• Stump Grinders – Remove old stumps to clear space for new growth
• Log Splitters – Process wood for firewood or disposal
• Ladders & Lifts – Essential for safely reaching higher branches
Step 3: Start with Dead or Diseased Branches
Begin by removing any dead, broken, or diseased branches. Cutting these away prevents the spread of disease and improves tree structure.
Step 4: Thin and Shape the Canopy
Thinning the tree canopy helps increase sunlight penetration and airflow, promoting healthier growth. Aim for an open, balanced shape that maintains the tree’s natural form.
Step 5: Cut Back Overgrown Branches
Trimming back long branches encourages new growth and keeps trees from becoming too heavy or unbalanced. Be mindful not to over-prune—removing more than 25% of a tree’s branches at once can stress the tree.
Step 6: Clean Up and Repurpose Waste
Once trimming is complete, clean up the debris. Rent a wood chipper to turn branches into mulch for your garden. If you have large stumps, a stump grinder will help remove them efficiently. Using a log splitter can also help repurpose wood for firewood or outdoor projects.
Step 7: Maintain and Monitor
After trimming, monitor your trees for signs of stress or new growth. Proper watering, mulching, and occasional fertilization can help them recover and thrive throughout the season.
Get Started with the Right Equipment
Don’t let overgrown trees get in the way of a beautiful spring landscape. Rental Stop has all the tools you need—chainsaws, chippers, stump grinders, log splitters, ladders, lifts, and more. Rent today and make you Spring tree trimming easy this season!

Get Your Yard Fall-Ready! Time to Tackle Your Fall Landscaping Prep
Posted by rentalstop in General on September 13, 2024
As the crisp air of fall begins to settle in, it’s the perfect time to turn your attention to your yard. Fall landscaping prep is essential to ensure your lawn and garden thrive in the coming seasons. With a little effort now, you can enjoy a beautiful, healthy landscape next spring. Here’s a guide to getting your yard fall-ready.
- Rake Those Leaves
One of the first signs of fall is the colorful blanket of leaves covering your lawn. While they’re beautiful to look at, leaving them on your grass can lead to problems like mold growth and blocked sunlight. Grab a rake and clear away those leaves to keep your lawn healthy. If you have a lot of leaves, consider renting a push leaf blower or Billy Goat Vacuum to make the job easier. - Aerate Your Lawn
Fall is the ideal time to aerate your lawn, especially if your soil is compacted or your grass gets heavy foot traffic. Aeration involves creating small holes in the soil to allow air, water, and nutrients to penetrate deep into the roots. This helps the grass grow stronger and more resilient. Need an aerator? Renting one today from Rental Stop. It is a cost-effective option. - Fertilize for Future Growth
After aerating, it’s time to fertilize. Fall fertilization provides your lawn with the nutrients it needs to survive the winter and come back lush and green in the spring. Rental Stop’s spreaders can help you evenly distribute the fertilizer across your lawn. - Prune Shrubs and Trees
Fall is a great time to prune your shrubs and trees. Pruning helps remove dead or diseased branches and shapes your plants for healthy growth. Be sure to use the right tools for the job and consider renting a pole saw for hard-to-reach branches. Proper pruning now will reduce the risk of damage from winter storms and improve the overall appearance of your landscape. Click here for Rental Stop’s tree pruner and Hedge Trimmers.

Fall Fertilizing Made Easy with Rental Stop Spreaders
Posted by rentalstop in General on August 27, 2024
Fall is the ideal time to fertilize your lawn and prepare it for the colder months ahead. Using Rental Stop’s high-quality spreaders makes the process easier and more efficient, ensuring even coverage across your yard.
One key aspect of fall lawn care is applying pre-emergent herbicide, especially in Texas. According to Site One, “The best time to apply pre-emergent in Texas is typically from late August to mid-September.” This crucial timing helps prevent cool-season weeds like poa annua from germinating, keeping your lawn healthy and weed-free as temperatures drop.
Fertilizing in fall is essential because it promotes strong root growth, which helps grass survive the winter and come back greener in the spring. When using Rental Stop spreaders, you can easily distribute the right amount of fertilizer and pre-emergent to maximize the benefits.
Before you begin, make sure to mow your lawn and remove any debris. Then, load up the spreader with a balanced fall fertilizer and the recommended pre-emergent herbicide. As you walk the lawn, ensure even, overlapping passes to avoid streaks.
By fertilizing and applying pre-emergent during the fall, you set your lawn up for success in the spring. With Rental Stop spreaders, this task is made simple, saving you time and helping your lawn look its best year-round. Reserve your spreader early to ensure you’re ready for the season!
