80-year live oak crown reduction
A 80-foot live oak with overextended lateral limbs threatened the roof. We performed careful crown reduction back to lateral branches — preserving the tree's natural form and structural integrity. No topping.

Tree Care Pros specializes in customized Plant Healthcare (PHC) programs designed to improve tree vigor, canopy density, root development, drought tolerance, pest resistance, and long-term structural stability. Our treatment programs focus on identifying the underlying cause of decline and implementing corrective actions that support healthy growth and longevity.
Our Integrated Pest Management programs target damaging insects while minimizing environmental impact. Treatments are designed to reduce pest populations, protect foliage, and improve overall plant health.
We diagnose and treat a wide range of fungal, bacterial, and environmental disorders affecting trees and shrubs throughout North Texas.
Targeted nutrient applications help improve foliage density, root growth, carbohydrate production, and stress recovery.
Tree failure can result in significant property damage, personal injury, and liability concerns. Our arborists perform detailed inspections to identify structural defects, decay, root problems, and other conditions that increase the likelihood of failure.
We evaluate the likelihood of failure, impact targets, and consequences of failure using accepted arboricultural risk assessment methodologies.
Our inspections identify included bark, co-dominant stems, cracks, decay pockets, root plate instability, and other structural concerns.
We provide practical recommendations including pruning, cabling, bracing, treatment, monitoring, or removal when necessary.
All pruning operations performed by Tree Care Pros follow ANSI A300 industry standards and ISA best management practices.

A 80-foot live oak with overextended lateral limbs threatened the roof. We performed careful crown reduction back to lateral branches — preserving the tree's natural form and structural integrity. No topping.
Spring thunderstorm dropped a 60-foot Shumard red oak across the front of a two-story home. We were on-site within 90 minutes, removed the tree safely with crane assist, and provided insurance documentation.
A neighborhood with confirmed oak wilt mortality lost two trees. We performed propiconazole macro-infusion on 8 nearby live oaks and trenched to break root grafts — preventing further loss.
An estate property in Highland Park with significant mature trees enrolled in our annual PHC program. After five years of scheduled scouting, feeding, and disease prevention, every tree is healthier than at baseline.
A 70-year pecan with a serious co-dominant stem split risk was a candidate for removal. We installed an ANSI A300 Part 3 cable system instead — the tree stays, the family stays safe, the home stays in the shade.
A subdivision with severely chlorotic Shumard reds and sweetgums. Trunk micro-injections of chelated iron + manganese on 12 trees. Visible greening within 6 weeks; full canopy color restored the next spring.

We're a family-owned, fully-insured tree-care company with 26 years of experience, 15,000+ trees treated, and a 4.9-star rating across 127+ Google and BBB reviews. Our certified arborists diagnose tree health before recommending any work — about 30% of our removal-call visits end with us telling the homeowner their tree can stay.
All of DFW — Tarrant, Dallas, Collin, Denton, Parker, Johnson, Wise, Hood, Ellis, Somervell, and Bosque counties. 130+ cities including Fort Worth, Dallas, Plano, Frisco, McKinney, Arlington, Southlake, Mansfield, Highland Park, Colleyville, and Westlake.
Tree removal $400–$4,000. Trimming $300–$1,800. Disease treatment $200–$1,200/tree. Emergency response $400–$6,000. Every initial arborist visit is free. Written estimates valid 30 days, no obligation.
Routine quotes: 24–48 hours. Tree-on-house or storm emergencies: same-day, typically 1–3 hours during active events. Emergency line answered 24/7 at (817) 670-4404.
ISA Certified Arborists on every diagnosis. ANSI A300 pruning — we will never top a tree. $2M general liability + Texas workers compensation. TDA-licensed for pesticide/treatment work. BBB Accredited with an A+ rating.
Yes. Every on-site diagnostic visit is free across DFW with no obligation to hire. We've operated this way since 1999. About 30% of our visits end with us telling the homeowner the tree is healthy and no work is needed.
Yes. Every diagnosis is performed or supervised by an ISA Certified Arborist (verified at treesaregood.org). We're also TCIA members, TDA-licensed for tree-injection and pest-control work, and BBB Accredited with an A+ rating. Certificate copies provided on request before any job.
Routine estimates: 24–48 hours. Emergencies (tree on house, hung-up limb, road blockage): same day. Storm response: typically within 1–3 hours during active events.
Iron chlorosis — yellow leaves with green veins on red oaks, sweetgums, and magnolias — caused by DFW's alkaline clay soil locking up iron. It's also one of the most treatable problems we see, with visible greening typically within 4–8 weeks of trunk injection.
If you have red or live oaks, yes — you should know about it. Don't prune oaks between February 1 and June 30 in Texas without proper wound sealant (that's the beetle-transmission window). We treat oak wilt with macro-infusion of propiconazole, which is highly effective if caught early.
Tree damage to insured structures is typically covered, including removing the portion of the tree on the structure. Routine maintenance — pruning, treatment — is not covered. We help document insurance claims for storm-damaged trees.
Pricing depends on tree size, count, access, and what's needed. Tree removal ranges $400–$4,000; trimming $300–$1,800; disease treatment $200–$1,200 per tree per treatment. See our full DFW Cost Guide for service-by-service ranges. Every job gets a free written estimate.
Yes. We work with HOAs, property managers, churches, schools, golf courses, ranches, and commercial properties across DFW. Annual Plant Health Care programs, tree inventories, and emergency contract response available.
