Tree Service in Celina, TX

Celina homeowners usually find us after weather. Late on May 25, 2024, the National Weather Service tracked an EF1 tornado with winds up to 95 mph through Celina and the Weston area; it damaged trees, metal buildings and telephone poles along its path, and a satellite tornado near Prairie Meadow Drive was rated high-end EF3. That night is a reminder of what open prairie means for trees here: there is little to slow the wind, and a young tree or an old fence-row hackberry takes the full force. Our Tree Service work in Celina covers both the cleanup after storms and the pruning that helps trees ride the next one out.

A small town that became a city fast

The first postmaster, John T. Mulkey, named Celina after his hometown in Tennessee, and in 1902 the town moved about a mile north to meet the railroad. For most of the next century it stayed small: 1,861 residents in 2000. Then the north Dallas growth wave arrived. The 2020 census counted 16,739 people, and the 2025 estimate is 64,427. The result is a mix of property you do not see in older suburbs. Brand-new homes with saplings sit next to old farmsteads with pecans, bois d'arc and hackberry lines planted generations ago.

How that changes the work

On new lots, the job is training: setting a strong central leader, removing narrow forks before they become weak unions and keeping limbs off the roof. Young trees with good structure bend in wind; poorly formed ones split.

On older acreage, the job is assessment and reduction. Old fence-line trees often have decay at past wounds, dead tops and heavy limbs over barns or drives. Some are worth saving with careful pruning. Others are safer coming down in sections before they fail.

Near construction, trees left standing during land development often lose roots to grading and trenching. Decline can take three to five years to show. If a big tree near new construction is thinning at the top, have it looked at.

After a storm

• Stay away from any limb touching a line and call the electric utility first.
• Photograph the damage before anything is moved, for your insurance claim.
• Call (469) 750-3092 and tell us what is down, what it hit and whether anything is still hanging.
• We will come out, separate urgent hazards from cleanup that can wait, and give you a written price for each part.
