Our tree services in University Park, TX

Tree removal
University Park TX

Any size, crane available

Some trees can't be saved. Disease, storm damage, root rot, or a tree growing too close to your foundation are all reasons removal may be the safest choice.

Our crews handle tree removal of any size, including trees in tight backyards, near power lines, or leaning over structures. We use cranes when a job calls for one, so large or hazardous trees come down safely without damaging your property.

Signs you may need tree removal

  • The tree is leaning more than it used to
  • Bark is peeling or falling off in large sections
  • Large dead branches keep appearing
  • Mushrooms or fungus growing at the base
  • Roots are lifting your driveway, sidewalk, or foundation

Tree trimming
University Park TX

Pruned for tree health

Overgrown limbs don't just look messy. They can rub against your roof, block sunlight from your lawn, or snap during a Texas thunderstorm and cause real damage.

Our tree trimming service improves the health, shape, and safety of your trees. We remove dead or crossing branches, thin out dense canopies, and prune with the tree's long-term health in mind, not just a quick chop.

Regular trimming helps you

  • Prevent storm damage before it happens
  • Keep branches away from your roof and power lines
  • Improve airflow and sunlight for a healthier yard
  • Maintain your property's curb appeal

Stump grinding
University Park TX

Ground below grade

A leftover stump is more than an eyesore. It attracts termites and other pests, makes mowing harder, and can trip up kids or guests in your yard.

We grind stumps of any size down below ground level so you can reclaim that space for grass, landscaping, or a new patio. Our equipment is sized for University Park's smaller, fenced-in lots, so we can access tight side yards and backyards without tearing up your property.

Storm damage and emergency tree service

Same-day response

Texas storms move fast, and downed limbs or fallen trees are a safety hazard the moment they hit the ground. We offer emergency tree removal for homeowners dealing with storm damage, so your property gets cleared quickly and safely.

Additional tree care services

  • Tree pruningFor shape, health, and structural support.
  • Tree cabling and boltingReinforces weak limbs on valuable, mature trees.
  • Sick tree diagnosisCatches disease or pest problems early.
  • Deep root fertilizationStrengthens trees from the ground up.
  • Tree planting and selectionFor homeowners adding new trees to their landscape.
  • Crane serviceFor large removals in tight or high-risk spaces.

Built for University Park’s Older Homes and Mature Trees

University Park sits close to SMU, and many of its streets are lined with decades-old oak and pecan trees. Those trees add real value to your property, but they also come with more risk. Mature root systems can damage foundations and plumbing. Tall canopies close to older roofs need regular attention to stay safe.

Because homes here sit on smaller, closer-together lots, tree work has to be precise. A careless crew can damage a fence, a driveway, or a neighbor’s yard. Our team plans every job around your property’s layout before we ever start cutting, so you get clean, careful work every time.

We also know Texas oak wilt is a real concern for older neighborhoods with dense oak populations. If you’re worried about disease spreading through your yard, our sick tree diagnosis service can catch problems before they spread to healthy trees nearby.

Frequently Asked Questions

 

How much does tree removal cost in University Park, TX?
Cost depends on the tree’s size, condition, and location on your property. A small tree in an open yard costs less than a large tree near a house or power line. Call us for a free, no-obligation quote based on your specific job.
Do I need a permit to remove a tree in University Park?
University Park has local ordinances protecting certain trees, especially larger, established ones. Before removing a tree, check with the city or ask our team. We can help you understand what applies to your property before work begins.
How often should trees be trimmed?
Most mature trees benefit from trimming every 2 to 3 years. Younger trees may need more frequent shaping. If branches are touching your roof, power lines, or growing into a neighbor’s property, it’s time to schedule a trim sooner.
Is stump grinding better than stump removal?
Stump grinding removes the visible stump and top roots below ground level, which is faster and less disruptive to your yard. Full stump removal pulls out the entire root system and is more invasive. For most homeowners, grinding is the faster, more affordable option.
Do you offer emergency tree service after storms?
Yes. If a storm has knocked down a tree or left hazardous limbs hanging over your home, call us right away. We prioritize emergency calls to get dangerous trees and debris cleared safely.
Are you insured?
Yes, A Better Arborist® is fully insured. That protects your property and gives you peace of mind during every job, from a simple trim to a complex removal.
What areas do you serve besides University Park?
We also serve Dallas, Highland Park, Farmers Branch, and Southlake, along with the surrounding Dallas-Fort Worth area.
