Tree Service in Farmers Branch, TX

Farmers Branch sits just south of Carrollton in Dallas County, between I-35E and the Dallas North Tollway, with LBJ Freeway along its southern side. It's one of the older suburbs in the area, and you can see it in the trees. Many neighborhoods have oaks, pecans, and elms that have been growing for decades, and a lot of them now hang over roofs, driveways, and the street.

Big old trees are a big part of why people love living here. They're also where most of the problems start. A tree that's been growing for fifty years has been through a lot of storms, droughts, and construction projects, and that wear adds up.

Limbs over the house. Mature trees on smaller lots tend to spread over the roof. Every spring storm puts those limbs to the test. Regular tree trimming takes weight off before the wind does.

Aging trees in decline. Older trees slowly lose vigor, especially after a hard drought. Thinning canopies, dead wood up top, and peeling bark are signs it's time for a tree health assessment.

Emerald ash borer. Dallas County is under a state quarantine for this beetle, which kills ash trees. If you have an ash, keep an eye on it.

Remodels and additions. When older homes get updated, roots get cut for new driveways, foundations, and utility lines. Trees can decline for years afterward.

Tight backyards. Many older lots have narrow side yards and fences close to the house, so removals have to be done piece by piece with ropes and rigging.
