Texas Tree Tops provides Bedford tree service for homeowners and managed properties in the Mid-Cities area.
Bedford properties often need trimming, pruning, removal, emergency tree service, and stump grinding around established neighborhoods, fences, driveways, and commercial spaces. Texas Tree Tops helps Bedford owners get the work planned and done safely and cleanly.
Bedford rewrote its tree rules in July 2023. Homestead properties of 2 acres or less are exempt, as are trees under 10 inches DBH on occupied one- and two-family residences — so most homeowners need no permit. The permit system is aimed at development, where protected trees 6 inches and up need a Tree Removal Mitigation Permit backed by a certified-arborist tree survey.

Ordinance details change — confirm current requirements with Bedford before scheduling a removal.
Bedford's housing stock is largely 1960s–1990s subdivisions rather than master-planned HOA communities, and no Bedford HOA with documented tree rules exists. The rules that matter here are the city's 2023 tree preservation ordinance — which mostly exempts occupied homes on 2 acres or less — plus standard right-of-way and visibility maintenance.
Bedford sits in the Eastern Cross Timbers belt of northeast Tarrant County — the sandy post oak and blackjack oak corridor between the Blackland Prairies; it even has a subdivision named Cross Timbers. The city's unprotected list (hackberry, mesquite, bois d'arc, cottonwood) is effectively the inverse of the Cross Timbers keeper species: the code protects the oaks, elms, and pecans that define mature Mid-Cities lots, and post oaks among them tolerate almost no root disturbance.
Cases in this county are the exception rather than the rule — the July 2026 Arlington positive ended roughly fifteen quiet years — but Bedford's live oaks are as root-connected as any, and underground grafts are how the fungus travels. Spring is the no-prune season for oaks, and wounds get painted the moment they are made.
