Texas Tree Tops is based in Fort Worth and provides tree removal, trimming, emergency tree service, stump grinding, pruning, and property cleanup for homes, businesses, HOAs, and managed properties throughout the city.
Fort Worth properties range from older neighborhoods with mature shade trees to fast-growing communities with newer landscapes and expanding commercial properties. Texas Tree Tops helps property owners handle hazardous removals, overgrown canopies, storm damage, stumps, and routine tree maintenance with a focus on safety, access, and cleanup.
Most Fort Worth homeowners are exempt: single residential lots of one acre or less with a one- or two-family home are not subject to the city’s urban forestry requirements. Permits apply on larger lots and on any property being developed, where removing a tree six inches or greater in diameter requires a city tree removal permit.

Ordinance details change — confirm current requirements with Fort Worth before scheduling a removal.
Fort Worth relies on voluntary neighborhood associations rather than a citywide HOA — the Tanglewood Neighborhood Association runs a documented tree replanting program with city forestry staff. Individual subdivisions may carry deed restrictions, so check your own covenants before major tree work.
Fort Worth sits on the Fort Worth Prairie, flanked by the Eastern and Western Cross Timbers — sandy-soil oak belts historically nicknamed the "Cast Iron Forest," dominated by slow-growing post oak and blackjack oak, with clay-over-limestone prairie between. The ordinance's protected list reflects that mix: post oak, live oak, bur oak, chinquapin oak, Shumard and Texas red oak, cedar elm, American elm, pecan, bald cypress, and black walnut. Post oaks tolerate almost no root disturbance, so site work near them needs careful planning. The city also carries a written canopy goal — 30% cover citywide, with development projects required to keep at least half of their post oak and blackjack oak canopy.
Oak wilt is confirmed in 76 Texas counties, but confirmed Tarrant County cases are rare — a 2026 Arlington case was described as the first in about 15 years. Local guidance: prune oaks July through January and seal every cut immediately.
