Tree Removal and Care in Duncanville, TX
Duncanville's neighborhoods date mainly to the 1960s through 80s and carry mature oaks, pecans and cedar elms on decent-sized lots. The Cedar Hill escarpment starts just to the south, and the rockier ground on that side changes how trees anchor and how they lean after a wet spring.
Tree conditions in Duncanville
Mature canopy over older roofs
Trees planted when the houses were built now overhang the roofline on both sides. Deadwood and weight reduction over the house is the most common job.
Ten Mile Creek lots
Creek-side properties lose bank soil in heavy rain, undercutting roots and starting a lean.
Shallow rock on the south side
Where limestone is close to the surface, root plates are shallow and wide. Those trees lean after saturated springs and can go over with less warning than a deep-rooted tree.
