Colleyville properties often have mature trees, established landscaping, fences, pools, and high-value homes. Texas Tree Tops helps property owners remove hazardous trees, trim for clearance and shape, grind stumps, and respond to storm damage while protecting the property and cleaning up the jobsite.
Colleyville has regulated tree removal since 1993. Trees 6 inches DBH and larger are protected; on homestead property, state law allows removal of trees under 10 inches DBH, but larger trees — and anything inside a tree preservation easement — go through the city’s online tree removal permit first.

Ordinance details change — confirm current requirements with Colleyville before scheduling a removal.
The Timarron master-planned community extends into Colleyville — two of its seventeen neighborhoods sit here — and its Owners Association requires Design Review approval for exterior modifications, with neighborhood-specific landscape guidelines. The binding tree rules still come from the city’s Urban Forestry code.
The city itself notes Colleyville lies in the Eastern Cross Timbers, a forest dominated by post oak and blackjack oak on coarse sandy soils over sandstone — sandy loam over clay hardpan that produces shallow, disturbance-intolerant root systems. Its heritage tree list centers on Cross Timbers natives — post oak, blackjack oak, cottonwood, water oak, and ash — some 200 to 400+ years old. Post oaks grow too slowly to heal torn roots before decay sets in, which is why Colleyville maintains its own city Forestry Management Plan.
Tarrant County is among the 76 Texas counties with confirmed oak wilt — the fungus spreads via sap-feeding beetles to fresh wounds and about 75 feet per year through connected live oak roots. Do not prune oaks February 1 through June 30, and paint every wound immediately.
