Highland Park tree work requires attention to property protection, mature canopies, tight access, landscaping, fences, driveways, and finished appearance. Texas Tree Tops helps homeowners handle tree work with careful planning and a clean final result.
Highland Park’s tree ordinance governs public trees, parkways, and easements — no removal permit requirement was found in the published code for a healthy tree fully on private property. Parkway trees belong to the Town, and excavating or building a drive within 10 feet of a public tree requires a written Town permit.

Ordinance details change — confirm current requirements with Highland Park before scheduling a removal.
Tree and parkway authority in Highland Park rests with the Town’s Park Department and Town Council rather than homeowner associations — the Town’s own code compliance rules are the review layer that actually exists here.
Highland Park sits on Blackland Prairie expansive clay that swells wet and shrinks dry, stressing roots near older homes. The town’s tree heritage runs deep — Armstrong Parkway was designed around the famous Big Pecan Tree, whose 1927 Christmas lighting is the oldest such tradition in Dallas County.
Live oaks — a signature Park Cities street tree — spread oak wilt through connected roots at about 75 feet per year, which matters on Highland Park’s closely planted lots. Do not prune oaks February 1 through June 30, and paint every oak wound immediately.
