Keller homeowners and property managers call for tree service when limbs become overgrown, trees decline, storm damage creates hazards, or stumps get in the way of mowing and landscaping. Texas Tree Tops helps Keller properties stay safer, cleaner, and easier to maintain.
Keller exempts homestead property of five acres or less from its tree protection and replacement requirements — so most established homeowners need no city permit. New construction, additions, and undeveloped lots do require a tree removal permit with an arborist-signed tree survey, and clear-cutting is prohibited everywhere in the city.

Ordinance details change — confirm current requirements with Keller before scheduling a removal.
Hidden Lakes — a master-planned community of 16 named villages built 1996–2020 — documents an Architectural Control Committee on its HOA site, and Marshall Ridge is HOA-maintained. Because the city exempts most homesteads, HOA architectural review is often the practical approval layer for routine Keller removals.
Keller occupies Eastern Cross Timbers ground — coarse, slightly acidic sand over sandstone, with woodlands of post oak and blackjack oak alongside cedar elm and hickory. The city's own Quality Tree list is Cross Timbers-heavy: nine oak species, pecan, cedar elm, Texas hickory, and eastern red cedar. A stressed post oak rarely recovers once its roots are cut, so planning construction around them matters more than any later treatment.
Oak wilt is present in Tarrant County — Arlington logged a positive detection in July 2026 — and live oaks pass it tree to tree underground, gaining roughly 25 yards of new ground each season. Hold oak trimming for the July-to-January window and dab sealant onto each cut the moment it is made.
