Tree Service in Flower Mound, TX

Flower Mound sits northwest of Carrollton in Denton County, with Grapevine Lake on its south side and Lewisville Lake to the east. The town grew up in the Cross Timbers, a band of native woodland that runs through North Texas, and a lot of that woodland is still standing in people's yards. Post oak, blackjack oak, and cedar elm are everywhere, along with cedar and brush on the edges of bigger properties.

Native trees are a big reason people move here. They're also different from the trees planted in most subdivisions. They were here before the houses, and the construction that went in around them often did damage that shows up years later.

Post oaks hurt by construction. Post oaks are tough, but they don't handle root damage well. Grading, driveways, and foundations near the trunk can cause a slow decline that takes years to show. A tree health assessment can catch it early.

Drought stress in native trees. Long dry summers on clay soil weaken trees and make them more likely to drop limbs or get sick.

Brush and cedar taking over. Bigger lots let cedar, brush, and volunteer trees spread along fence lines and back corners. Land clearing gets it back under control.

Dead trees on large properties. On wooded lots, dead trees can stand for years before someone notices. When they fall, they take down fences, outbuildings, and other trees.

Oak disease. Oaks in Texas can be hit by fungal diseases, especially when stressed. Ask us about timing before trimming oaks.
