Dallas tree removal is an access sport: alleys, parkways, pool decks, and overlay districts each get a say before the saw does. Texas Tree Tops runs removals, trimming, storm response, and stumps across the city with the logistics solved up front.
Share the tree location in Dallas, urgency, access limits, nearby structures, and cleanup needs.
The Dallas calls we get most are removals: a dead red oak over a Lakewood pool, a storm-split cedar elm in a Lake Highlands alley easement, a hackberry heaving a Kessler Park retaining wall. What makes them Dallas jobs is the ground and the map. Blackland clay swells and shrinks hard enough to stress roots and slabs alike, the parkway strip belongs to the city and needs the City Arborist’s sign-off, and conservation districts and Neighborhood Forest Overlays add their own review in the neighborhoods most worth protecting. We price the tree and the logistics together: where the truck stages, which side the limbs come down on, and whose approval has to exist before the first cut.
From East Dallas and the M Streets to Oak Cliff’s escarpment lots, North Dallas, and the lakeside streets around White Rock, the crew stages by alley where alleys exist and by street where they do not. Commercial properties along the Stemmons and LBJ corridors get itemized, board-ready scopes. Storm weeks are alley weeks here: the limb that blocks one Dallas garage blocks the whole block’s access, so cleared alleys get first priority the morning after.
Single-family and duplex properties under 2 acres do not need a city permit to remove trees, per Dallas City Arborist guidance. Parkway trees between the sidewalk and street are city property and need City Arborist approval, and commercial or development sites need a Tree Removal Application under Article X.

Ordinance details change; confirm current requirements with Dallas before scheduling a removal.
Tree and landscape review powers in Dallas rest with city overlay districts — conservation districts like Kings Highway and Greenway Parks, and Neighborhood Forest Overlays such as the one Forest Hills has organized around — rather than with most voluntary neighborhood associations.
Dallas’s urban forest counts roughly 14.7 million trees at about 29% average canopy, with live oak, cedar elm, and Shumard red oak among the leading species. Most of the city sits on Blackland Prairie expansive clay that swells wet and shrinks dry — stressing roots and foundations alike.
The City of Dallas runs an oak wilt program with a dedicated municipal forester. Do not prune oaks February 1 through June 30, and paint every oak wound immediately — red oaks can die within weeks of infection.
