Tree Removal and Trimming in Balch Springs, TX
Balch Springs is a small city in southeast Dallas County with older homes and long-established hackberry, cedar elm and mulberry trees that were never pruned and now overhang roofs, sheds and the neighbor's yard. It is close to our Samuell Boulevard base, and a lot of our work here is catching up on decades of deferred pruning.
Tree conditions in Balch Springs
Neglected canopy
Trees that have not been touched in 20 years carry a lot of deadwood and crossing limbs. The first pruning is a big one; after that it is maintenance.
Property-line trees
Trunks on the fence line and canopies over both yards are common. We can quote both sides together when neighbors want to split it.
Overhead service drops
Older lots have the electric service drop running through the canopy to the house. We work around it and tell you when the utility needs to be involved.
