Tree Service in Houston, TX
Houston's subtropical climate means year-round tree growth — and year-round tree service needs. From hurricane prep to routine trimming, our certified crews handle it all with clear pricing and professional results.
Tree Service for Houston's Climate
Houston sits in Harris County with a humid subtropical climate that drives aggressive tree growth. Average annual rainfall of 50+ inches and mild winters mean trees grow fast — but also that storm damage is a constant risk. The Houston area regularly deals with hurricanes, tropical storms, and severe thunderstorms that can topple even healthy trees.
Common Houston tree species include live oaks (the signature shade tree), water oaks, loblolly pines, pecan trees, and crepe myrtles. Each species has different pruning needs, growth rates, and storm vulnerability. Our arborists know Houston's tree stock and tailor their approach accordingly.

Frequently Asked Questions
What trees are common in Houston?
Houston landscapes feature live oaks, water oaks, pine trees, pecan trees, crepe myrtles, and Chinese tallow. Live oaks are the most popular shade tree but require regular trimming due to their wide canopy spread.
Do I need a permit to remove a tree in Houston?
The City of Houston requires permits for removing trees with a diameter of 12 inches or more on commercial properties. Residential properties generally do not require permits, but HOA rules may apply. Always check with your local jurisdiction before removal.
How much does tree removal cost in Houston?
Tree removal in Houston typically costs $300-$2,000 depending on tree size, species, and accessibility. Average cost is around $800. Emergency storm removal after hurricanes can cost significantly more due to demand.
When is hurricane season in Houston?
