Tree Removal in Melissa, TX

Dead, diseased, storm-damaged, or dangerously leaning trees. We take them down safely with professional rigging and full cleanup. Free on-site estimates.

Safe Removal, Even in Tight Spots

Many Melissa homes sit on lots where a falling tree would hit the house, fence, pool, or power lines. We don't fell and hope — large trees are dismantled in controlled sections to protect your house, fence, pool, and landscaping. Large limbs come off with the three-cut method so bark doesn't tear down the trunk.

Signs your tree needs to come down

Dead branches throughout the canopy, or no leaves in growing season
Trunk cracks, cavities, or mushrooms growing at the base (decay)
A lean that has worsened, especially with lifted or exposed roots
Roots damaging your foundation, driveway, or sewer line: what roots actually do to foundations
Storm damage that removed more than half the canopy

What removal includes

Controlled takedown near structures
Debris removed from the property
Work area left clean and tidy
Optional stump grinding on the same visit

North Texas clay soil tip: our heavy clay expands and contracts with rain and drought, which can destabilize root systems over time. If a tree starts leaning after a wet spring, don't wait. Get it assessed.

How much does tree removal cost?

Prices depend on the tree's size, species, location, and how close it is to structures. Small ornamentals in open yards are simpler jobs than large post oaks over a roof, and estimates reflect that. Here's how our estimate works: we schedule an on-site visit, walk the property with you, and leave a firm written price. No phone-quote guesswork, no obligation.

Removing a Bradford pear? They fail by design in our storms: weak V-crotches, short lifespan. We can take it down and grind the stump so you can replant. Here's our full take on why Bradford pears fail in North Texas and what to plant instead.

Tree Removal FAQs — Melissa, TX

Do I need a permit to remove a tree in Melissa?

It depends on the tree and where it sits. Many Melissa HOAs require architectural approval before removing a front-yard tree, and some cities in the area protect large heritage trees. Trees in the public right-of-way, typically the strip between the sidewalk and the street, usually need city approval before anyone touches them. When we come out for the estimate, we'll tell you what applies to your specific tree and point you to the right office.

Will you damage my lawn or driveway?

Protecting your property is part of every job. Each removal is planned around your turf, landscaping, and hardscaping. If a job carries any risk of turf wear, we'll flag it in the estimate.

Can you remove a tree close to power lines?

Trees touching or very near power lines should be handled with the utility company involved. Call them first. For trees near (but not touching) lines, let us know about the lines when you request an estimate so the job can be planned safely.

What happens to the wood?

Cleanup is included. Just tell us before the job if you'd like to keep any of the wood.
