Texas Tree Tops provides University Park tree service for homeowners who need removal, trimming, pruning, emergency work, and stump grinding around high-value properties.
University Park properties often require precise tree work around homes, garages, fences, driveways, pools, and mature landscaping. Texas Tree Tops helps plan removals, trimming, pruning, and cleanup so the work is done safely and the property is left clean.
Day-to-day, University Park’s published code does not require a permit to remove a private tree — but once a project involves approved demolition of the primary residence, Article 3.08 Tree Preservation applies: trees of 6-inch caliper and up are regulated, and at least two designated trees must remain on the property at final inspection.

Ordinance details change — confirm current requirements with University Park before scheduling a removal.
Tree authority in University Park rests with the city — Community Development, Parks, and the city arborist — rather than HOAs. The construction-triggered Tree Preservation article is the review mechanism that actually exists here.
Most University Park lots run 0.15–0.4 acres with mature canopy close to structures, and the city sits on Blackland Prairie expansive clay — the Houston Black series swells wet and shrinks dry, stressing roots and contributing to the foundation movement North Texas is known for.
The city’s 2024 tree inventory found nearly half of University Park’s trees are oaks — live oaks and red oaks among the largest shares, exactly the oak wilt risk profile. Do not prune oaks February 1 through June 30, and paint every wound immediately.
