Tree Work for a Rural Town

Argyle is rural by any measure. The 2020 census found that 99.7% of its 4,403 residents lived in rural areas, spread over about 11.6 square miles. First settled by a few families in the 1850s, when it was called Pilot Knob or Waintown, it was renamed Argyle in 1881 after the Texas and Pacific Railroad came through, and it incorporated on September 19, 1960. For Tree Service, that adds up to acreage homesites, long drives, fence lines and native trees, with newer homes being built among them.

The land and its trees

Argyle lies in Denton County, where the Eastern Cross Timbers meet the Grand Prairie. Many properties have native post oaks and blackjack oaks, cedar elms, hackberries along fences and eastern redcedar spreading where fields have not been burned or mowed. In the Cross Timbers, decades of fire suppression have made woods denser and let redcedar move in, which crowds out oaks and adds fuel. Thinning cedar and removing dead wood around homesites is often the first job on a newly purchased property.

A property plan, not a one-off trim

On acreage, the trees that matter most are the ones that could hit something: the house, the barn, the fence, the drive or the power line. We walk the property, sort trees by risk and value, and price each area separately so you can phase the work. A typical plan might be:

Remove dead and leaning trees within reach of the house and outbuildings
Raise limbs over the drive and gate for trucks and trailers
Clear cedar and brush from fence lines
Light pruning on the best native oaks to remove dead wood
Leave the back acreage largely natural

Protecting the oaks during building

New homes, shops and barns keep going up. Native post oaks do not tolerate root damage well, and losses from construction often show up years later. Before any building, mark the trees you want to keep and fence off as much of their root zone as possible. Avoid trenching under the canopy, and keep trucks and material piles away from the trunk.

Storms and oak timing

Open country gives spring storms a long run. After a storm, we clear drives and fences first, then work through the rest. For routine oak pruning, Texas guidance is to avoid February through June because of oak wilt and to paint fresh wounds immediately.

What happens to the wood

On rural property, many owners want chips spread on site or logs left for firewood. Others want everything hauled. Burning brush is subject to local and county rules, so check before planning a burn pile. The estimate spells out what will be removed and what stays.

Argyle Questions

Should I clear the cedar on my property?

Often, yes, especially near the house and under your best oaks. Redcedar spreads quickly without fire, crowds out oaks and adds fuel. Cut cedar does not resprout from the stump, so clearing it lasts if you keep new seedlings down.

How do I protect my oaks while building a new house?

Mark the keepers before work starts, fence off as much of the root zone as you can and keep trenches, equipment and material piles outside it. Damage done during construction is very hard to undo.

Can you price a big property in stages?

Yes. We break the estimate into areas or priorities so you can do the most important work first and the rest later.

Is a dead tree far from the house a problem?

Not always. A dead tree that cannot reach a building, fence, drive, path or power line can be left as wildlife habitat. Dead trees near anything people use should come down, since they get more brittle every year.

Can I burn the brush from my tree work?

That depends on current local and county burning rules and any burn bans. Check before you plan a burn pile. We can chip and haul instead if burning is not an option.
