Tree Service in Lakewood Village, TX

Lakewood Village is a tiny lakeside town: a peninsula in Lewisville Lake bordered by water on three sides, at the foot of the Lewisville Lake toll bridge between I-35 and the Dallas North Tollway. The 2020 census counted 635 residents in 242 housing units. It began as a second-home community with a golf course, two runways for small planes and a tennis court, and has since become a quiet year-round hometown. Tree Service here is mostly about mature, wooded lots where the trees are a big reason people chose to live there.

Wildlife changes the plan

The town lists eagles, owls, hawks, foxes, bobcats, beavers, otters, wild turkeys and deer among its wildlife. That matters for tree work. Before removing a dead tree, we check for active nests and cavities. A dead snag far from the house can sometimes stay as habitat, while one leaning over the roof cannot. Beavers are another factor near the shore: they girdle and fell trees, and a chewed trunk can fail without warning.

Shoreline trees

There are about 3.17 miles of shoreline inside town limits and nearly 7.5 miles within the town's jurisdiction, so many lots have trees at or near the water. Shoreline trees take wind from open water, grow toward the light over the lake and often sit in soil that stays wet. Common problems include:

• Leaning trunks with exposed roots on the bank side
• Long, heavy limbs reaching over the water or a dock
• Root plates loosened by saturated soil after heavy rain
• Beaver damage at the base

Reduction pruning, removal of dead wood and, where needed, careful sectional removal keep these trees from becoming a hazard to docks and homes.

Access on a peninsula

Narrow streets, sloping lots and wooded edges mean equipment access can be limited. On many jobs here, wood is lowered with ropes and carried to the street, and the chipper stays at the curb. We look at access during the estimate visit and write the plan into the quote.

Keeping the canopy

Most owners in Lakewood Village want to keep as much shade and privacy as possible. Our approach is to do the least that solves the problem: clear the roof and drive, take out dead and broken wood, reduce limbs that are overloaded and remove only trees that are dead or genuinely unsafe. If a tree has to go, we can suggest where a replacement would grow well without crowding the house.

Storm season

Spring thunderstorms can hit hard over open water. After one, look for hangers, split limbs and new leans. Call (469) 750-3092 if a tree is on a structure or blocking the only road out, and we will sort out what has to happen first.

Docks, boathouses and overhanging limbs

Limbs that reach out over a dock or boathouse drop leaves, twigs and the occasional heavy branch onto decking and boats. Lifting and shortening those limbs from the land side, back to good lateral branches, clears the structure without leaving the tree lopsided. Where a limb can only be reached over water, we plan the cut so the piece is controlled on a rope rather than dropped onto the dock.
