Irving bans tree topping citywide and keeps a list of species it will not protect at any size. Texas Tree Tops works inside both rules: real pruning instead of topping, honest removals, and per-area scopes for the apartment and office properties that define the city.

Irving tree service splits between the city’s two halves. South and central Irving carry the older neighborhoods: mature ashes and oaks, plus the hackberries and mesquites the city deliberately leaves unprotected, where the work is removals, storm cleanup, and keeping the code’s fourteen feet of clearance open over the streets. The north half is corporate: Las Colinas towers, apartment communities, and managed campuses where tree work gets scoped by property managers and priced by area. Both halves share one rule that matters: an occupied home lot stays exempt from the city’s tree conservation permits until a teardown or subdivision filing takes the exemption away. And topping is illegal citywide, which suits us fine, because topping is the one job we refuse anyway.
Irving's tree conservation rules exempt "Occupied Residential Property" — an ordinary occupied single-family, two-family, tri-plex, or townhouse lot — but the exemption disappears the moment a demolition permit or subdivision application is filed. On regulated property, protected trees need an Earthwork + Tree Removal Permit, which carries no application fee.

Ordinance details change; confirm current requirements with Irving before scheduling a removal.
The Las Colinas Association is the dominant deed-restriction layer in Irving — membership is automatic on purchase of deed-restricted property, and its Architectural Control Committee requires plan submission before any exterior work including landscaping. Hackberry Creek and Valley Ranch carry their own association structures. Outside the deed-restricted communities, the binding rules are the city's Section 4.5 code.
Irving has been a Tree City USA since 2009, seats a 9-member Tree Board, and replants removed public trees from its own municipal Tree Farm. Two Trinity River forks frame the city — the 17-plus-mile Campion Trail follows the Elm Fork and West Fork through bottomland where pecan, bur oak, black willow, sycamore, and black walnut dominate — while most neighborhoods sit on Blackland Prairie expansive clay that swells wet and shrinks dry.
Oak wilt is confirmed in Dallas County. Live oaks spread the fungus through grafted roots at about 75 feet per year, and an infected red oak can succumb in a matter of weeks. No oak pruning February 1 through June 30, and paint every oak wound immediately, year-round.
