Tree Trimming and Removal in Carrollton, TX
Carrollton spans three counties and several eras of building: historic downtown lots with old pecans and elms, 1970s and 80s neighborhoods with maturing live oaks, and newer north Carrollton streets planted with red oaks and Bradford pears. The creek corridors running through town add their own set of leaning, undercut trees.
Tree conditions in Carrollton
Creek lots along Furneaux Creek and Hutton Branch
Bank trees lean toward the water as soil washes out from under them. When they go, they usually take a fence with them.
Bradford pear and Arizona ash decline
Both were planted heavily and both are now at the end of their useful life. Pears split; ash declines and is exposed to emerald ash borer.
