Grapevine properties include established neighborhoods, commercial areas, and properties near busy DFW corridors. Texas Tree Tops helps keep trees clear of structures, signs, driveways, fences, and access areas while providing safe removal and cleanup when a tree becomes hazardous.
Grapevine protects trees at just 3 inches caliper — one of the lowest thresholds in DFW, where most neighboring cities start at 6. Owner-occupied single-family homes are excluded, but rental properties are expressly covered by the ordinance, and any property carrying a designated specimen or historic tree is covered regardless.

Ordinance details change — confirm current requirements with Grapevine before scheduling a removal.
No Grapevine HOA with documented tree rules was located — the housing stock skews older and non-master-planned compared with Southlake or Trophy Club. The binding rules here are the city's: Section 52 plus the annually updated Tree Reforestation Fund rate, and the ordinance's unusual reach over rental properties is the practical catch for landlords.
Grapevine is Eastern Cross Timbers country — the narrow band of post oak and blackjack oak forest on sandy soils through eastern Tarrant County. The city's own required-planting list is dominated by adapted natives — bur oak, cedar elm, chinquapin oak, pecan, Shumard oak, live oak, western soapberry — and Grapevine has held Tree City USA certification for over three decades. Post oaks near Grapevine Lake tolerate almost no root disturbance.
Oak wilt turns up only occasionally in this county — a 2026 detection over in Arlington ended a decade and a half without one — but the prevention playbook still applies in Grapevine: schedule oak work outside the spring infection season, treat each cut with sealant on the spot, and disinfect saws between trees.
