Tree Service in Farmers Branch, TX: Mature Tree Removal and Care
Farmers Branch neighborhoods near Valley View and Brookhaven were built in the 1950s and 60s and kept their trees, so the lots carry some of the biggest pecans and post oaks in the northern suburbs, often directly over the house. Most of our work here is large-tree pruning and crane removals over structures.
Tree conditions in Farmers Branch
Big pecans over small houses
A 70-year-old pecan sheds limbs in wind and drops deadwood year round. Over a roof, that is an insurance claim waiting to happen.
Crane work from the street
Many Farmers Branch removals are done with a crane set in the street because there is no other way to get a large tree off a house safely. If a lane has to be partially closed, we handle the arrangements.
Trees over sidewalks and the street
Dead or hanging limbs over the public right of way tend to draw attention. Getting them handled early is cheaper than being told to.

Common questions from Farmers Branch homeowners
Yes. The crane sets up in the street, the climber cuts sections that are lifted straight up and over, and nothing touches the roof. It is often the safest and fastest way to remove a big tree on a Farmers Branch lot.
Deadwood all of it; live wood no more than about a quarter of the canopy in a single pruning. Over-thinning a pecan stresses it and produces weak regrowth.
Farmers Branch regulates certain protected trees. We confirm against your address before scheduling.
