Irving properties include residential neighborhoods, business corridors, apartments, and managed landscapes where tree work must be planned around access, parking, sidewalks, buildings, and cleanup. Texas Tree Tops helps property owners keep trees safer and properties cleaner.
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.
