Some trees have to come down. Dead or dying trees become more dangerous every month they stand, storm-damaged trunks can fail without warning, and sometimes a tree is simply in the wrong place — heaving the foundation, crowding the house, or starving the rest of the yard. When removal is the right call, DFW Tree Guys makes a complex, high-stakes job look routine.
Tree removal in a residential neighborhood is precision work. Our crews section trees from the top down, rigging and lowering each piece under control — over roofs, between fences, around pools and power lines — with the equipment and insurance coverage this work demands. Tight access, leaning trunks, hollow wood: we plan for all of it before the first cut.
Because we're guided by certified arborists, we'll also tell you when a tree doesn't need to come down. If pruning or treatment can save a healthy tree, you'll hear that first. When you do need a removal, you get a safe one, at a fair price, with the wood and debris gone the same day whenever possible.
What's Included
- Complete removal of trees of any size, species, and condition
- Technical rigging for tight spaces, near structures, and over utilities
- Dead, dying, and storm-damaged hazardous tree removal
- Sectional dismantling with controlled lowering — nothing free-falls
- Full haul-off of trunk, limbs, and debris
- Optional stump grinding to finish the job completely
How It Works
- Assessment and quote. We evaluate the tree, access, and hazards, then give you a firm, itemized price.
- Rigging plan. Every removal gets a plan: drop zones, rigging points, and equipment matched to the site.
- Controlled takedown. The tree comes down in managed sections — protecting your home, landscape, and neighbors.
- Haul-off and cleanup. Wood and debris removed, area raked clean. Add stump grinding and it's like the tree was never there.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my tree needs to be removed?
Warning signs include large dead sections, fungus or mushrooms at the base, deep trunk cracks, a new or worsening lean, and hollow or decayed wood. If you're unsure, our free tree hazard assessment gives you a straight answer with no obligation.
How much does tree removal cost?
It depends on the tree's size, condition, and how difficult it is to access. A small open-yard removal costs far less than a large oak over a house. We give free, firm quotes so you know the exact price before any work starts.
Can you remove trees close to my house or power lines?
Yes — that's the majority of our work. We use sectional dismantling and controlled rigging to bring trees down safely in tight quarters. For limbs in contact with utility service lines, we coordinate the safe approach.
Do I need a permit to remove a tree?
It depends on your city and the tree. Some North Texas cities, including Southlake, have tree preservation ordinances that require permits for certain removals. We'll help you determine what applies to your property before work begins.
Do you remove the stump too?
Stump grinding is offered with every removal — most customers bundle it so the job is finished in one visit. We grind below grade so you can replant grass or landscape over the spot.
Serving both locations: White Settlement & West Fort Worth and Southlake & Northeast Tarrant County.
