Trees are one of the most valuable long-term investments you can make in your landscape. In Dallas and the Dallas–Fort Worth area, properly planted and maintained trees provide shade, increase property value, and improve overall environmental health.
However, North Texas presents unique challenges that make professional tree services essential.
Why Tree Selection Matters in Dallas
Dallas landscapes are affected by:
- Clay-heavy soils
- Extreme summer heat
- Occasional winter freezes
- Storms and high winds
Planting the wrong tree species — or planting correctly but without proper care — can lead to poor growth, disease, or costly removals later.
Best Trees for North Texas Landscapes
Some tree varieties perform especially well in Dallas and DFW, including:
- Live Oak
- Bur Oak
- Cedar Elm
- Red Oak
- Mexican Plum
These species are better adapted to local soils and climate conditions.
When Is the Best Time to Plant Trees in Dallas?
The best time for tree planting in North Texas is:
- Fall through early spring
Planting during cooler months allows roots to establish before summer heat stress, improving survival rates and long-term health.
Professional Tree Planting Makes a Difference
Professional tree planting includes:
- Proper soil preparation
- Correct planting depth
- Root ball inspection
- Strategic placement for long-term growth
- Initial watering and staking
This approach prevents many common issues that cause early tree failure.
Ongoing Tree Services & Maintenance
In addition to planting, professional tree services include:
- Structural pruning
- Canopy thinning
- Deadwood removal
- Storm damage cleanup
- Health inspections
Routine maintenance keeps trees safe and resilient.
