Remove Trees That Threaten Your Home or Yard
Greenwood Landscaping provides safe tree removal services for properties throughout Wichita Falls
Greenwood Landscaping offers tree removal for residential properties in Wichita Falls and nearby areas. You need damaged, leaning, or hazardous trees taken down before they fall on your home, vehicle, or fence line. This service is for homeowners dealing with storm-damaged trees, property owners clearing space for construction or landscaping updates, and anyone managing a tree that has outgrown its location or poses a safety risk to structures or power lines.
Removal includes safe cutting, sectioning if needed to protect surrounding areas, and cleanup of all debris and wood. The process is planned to minimize impact on your yard and nearby plantings, and the site is left clear and ready for replanting, grading, or other work. High winds and ice storms are common here, and trees weakened by drought or disease are especially vulnerable to failure during severe weather.
If you have a tree that needs to come down, contact Greenwood Landscaping for an on-site evaluation and removal estimate.
How Tree Removal Is Performed
Your tree is assessed for lean, decay, proximity to structures, and access for equipment. The removal is planned to control the direction of each cut and avoid damage to roofs, fences, or other landscape features. Sections are lowered using ropes or rigging if space is limited, and larger trunks are cut into manageable pieces for removal.
Once the tree is down, you will notice the immediate elimination of the hazard, more sunlight reaching your yard, and clear space for future planting or construction. Greenwood Landscaping handles all debris removal, including hauling away logs, branches, and brush, so you do not have to arrange separate disposal or deal with piles of wood sitting in your driveway.
Stump grinding is not included unless arranged separately, and root removal is typically not necessary unless you are grading or installing hardscape in that area. If the tree is near utility lines, you may need to coordinate with your service provider before removal begins.
Clients often ask how long removal takes, whether permits are required, and what happens to the wood. Here are answers to help you prepare.
What You Should Know About Tree Removal
How long does it take to remove a tree? Most residential removals are completed in a few hours to a full day depending on tree size, location, and access. Trees close to structures or power lines require more time due to the need for careful sectioning and rigging.
What happens to the wood after removal? Wood and debris are hauled away as part of the service. If you want to keep firewood or larger logs, let the crew know before work begins and they can leave cut sections on-site for you to process or stack.
Do I need a permit to remove a tree in Wichita Falls? Most residential properties do not require a permit for tree removal, but restrictions may apply in certain neighborhoods or for trees located in easements. Checking with your HOA or local code office before scheduling is a good idea.
Why is storm damage so common to trees here? High winds, ice storms, and prolonged drought weaken tree structure and root systems. When storms hit, already-stressed trees are more likely to lose large limbs or topple completely, especially if they are older or poorly maintained.
Can removal damage my yard? The crew takes steps to protect surrounding turf and beds, but heavy equipment may leave ruts or compaction in soft soil. Most surface damage can be repaired with grading or reseeding after the site is cleared.
