Tree Service in Coppell, TX

If you have an ash tree in Coppell, this matters. In 2022, the Texas A&M Forest Service confirmed emerald ash borer in Dallas County, and one of the first spots was near the Coppell and Carrollton border. Dallas and Denton counties are now under a state quarantine that limits moving ash wood and firewood.

Emerald ash borer kills ash trees by tunneling under the bark. Signs include thinning at the top of the tree, small D-shaped holes in the bark, splitting bark, and woodpeckers working the trunk. A tree caught early may have options. A tree that's too far gone needs to come down before it gets brittle and dangerous.

Trees near creeks and green space. Coppell has a lot of parkland and creek corridors, and ash trees tend to grow in those low, wet areas. Homes backing up to greenbelts often have ash trees nearby.

Big trees on bigger lots. Many Coppell homes have mature trees that have grown large over the years and now need trimming to keep them off the roof and balanced.

Storm damage. Open areas around the city let wind build up, and spring storms bring down limbs across town.

Drought stress. Clay soil and dry summers hit trees hard, especially trees that were stressed by construction when neighborhoods were built.
