Tree Service in Highland Village, TX

Highland Village sits in Denton County on the southwest side of Lewisville Lake, north of Flower Mound and west of Lewisville. It's a smaller city with a lot of trees, and the ground isn't flat like most of North Dallas. Homes sit on slopes, ravines, and wooded lots, with mature native trees growing close to houses and down toward the water.

That terrain changes how tree work gets done. A tree on a slope leans and loads differently than one on flat ground. Getting equipment to a tree at the bottom of a backyard ravine takes planning. And when trees are close together, taking one out without hurting the ones around it takes care.

Trees on slopes. Trees growing on a hillside often lean and grow lopsided toward the light. Erosion can expose roots on the downhill side. Watch for leans that are getting worse.

Crowded wooded lots. Trees growing close together compete for light and grow tall and thin, which makes them more likely to snap in a storm. Thinning out the weakest trees helps the rest.

Lake wind. Homes near the water get more wind during storms, and trees facing the lake take the brunt of it.

Dead trees hidden in the woods. On heavily wooded lots, a dead tree can blend in until it falls. A walkthrough every few years catches them.

Emerald ash borer. Denton County is under a state quarantine. Ash trees often grow in low, wet areas near the lake and creeks.
