Hazardous Tree Removal
When a tree leans toward your home, shows signs of disease, or stands near power lines, waiting isn't an option. longhorn specializes in the removal of dangerous trees—the high-stakes jobs where precision, safety, and insurance matter most.
What is a Hazardous Tree?
A hazardous tree is any tree that poses a direct risk to your property, family, or utilities. This includes:
- • Leaning trees — shifting toward your home or structures
- • Dead or diseased trees — weakened wood that sheds limbs unpredictably
- • Trees near power lines — risk of electrocution or utility damage
- • Trees over structures — homes, garages, sheds, or fences in the drop zone
- • Structurally compromised trees — hollow trunks, split limbs, or root damage
Why It Matters
Hazardous tree removal isn't a routine service—it's a life-safety priority. One failed limb or misjudged fall can mean thousands in property damage, injury, or worse.
The Real Risk: Most homeowners delay removal because they underestimate the danger or worry about cost. But in DFW, a single ice storm or high wind event can turn a "maybe someday" hazard into a "tree on my roof" emergency.
That's why longhorn prioritizes hazardous tree assessment. A 15-minute evaluation can identify hidden risks—and save you from a catastrophic event.
Our Hazardous Tree Removal Process
Site Safety Walk
Before a single saw starts, we conduct a thorough safety inspection. We check for energized power lines, widow-makers (hanging limbs), and structural hazards. No exceptions—even in emergencies.
Hazard Assessment
We evaluate the tree's lean, root health, proximity to structures, and risk level. This assessment determines the removal strategy and cost.
Rigging Plan
For hazardous removals, we design a custom rigging plan. Large sections are lowered on ropes—never free-felled near structures. This precision protects your property.
Removal & Cleanup
Professional removal with ground protection mats. All debris hauled away. Your yard is left cleaner than we found it—no ruts, no mess, no excuses.

Get a Free Hazardous Tree Assessment
Hazardous tree removal pricing varies by tree size, location, rigging complexity, and proximity to structures. A 30-foot dead tree in an open yard costs less than a 50-foot Oak leaning toward your home. The only way to know your cost is a free, on-site assessment.
Call longhorn at (817) 460-9364 for a no-obligation estimate. We'll assess your specific situation, explain the removal plan, and provide accurate pricing—no surprises, no hidden fees.
DFW Storm Response & Emergency Service
When North Texas weather turns severe, longhorn is ready. 24/7 emergency dispatch, rapid mobilization, and local expertise that gets your property safe in under 90 minutes.
Why DFW Storms Are Different
Ice Storms & Shifting Clay
North Texas ice storms snap limbs in ways other regions don't. Our clay soil shifts under weight, creating unique root stress that only 15 years of DFW experience can predict.
Straight-Line Winds
May 2024. 2021 Winter Storm. Derecho-force winds that uproot mature Oaks and Pecans. When those storms hit, the phone rings 200 times. We're ready for all of them.
How We Respond: Ready-State Mobilization
When Severe Weather Warnings Issue
We don't wait for the phone to ring. Crews stay on standby at our Fort Worth yard with fueled trucks, sharpened saws, and staged rigging gear. First call rolls within 15 minutes.
Priority Triage System
Not all emergencies are equal. We categorize by life-safety risk:
- Tier 1 (Immediate): Tree on house, structural risk. On-site assessment within 1 hour.
- Tier 2 (High Priority): Tree blocking driveway or resting on power lines. Rapid dispatch.
- Tier 3 (Debris): Uprooted trees not touching structures. Scheduled cleanup.
60–90 Minute Mobilization for Life-Safety Hazards
From the moment you call (817) 460-9364, we move. A foreman is en route for assessment while crews stage equipment. For Tier 1 emergencies, we aim for on-site evaluation within the hour.
The DFW Local Advantage
Fifteen years in DFW means we know the shortcuts. During ice storms, when highways are gridlocked, our crews navigate backroads in Southlake, North Richland Hills, and Arlington. We know which neighborhoods get hit hardest and how to reach them fastest.
That local knowledge is often the difference between a 45-minute arrival and 3 hours.
Safety at Speed: No Shortcuts
The biggest mistake new companies make is being fast and reckless. We never skip the 5-minute site safety walk—even in a 90-minute emergency mobilization.
No Energized Lines
We verify power line status before a single saw starts.
No Widow-Makers
Hanging limbs identified and cleared before crew deployment.
Full Insurance Coverage
Every job, every emergency, fully insured and bonded.
Zero Property Damage Track Record
15 years, thousands of trees, zero claims.
Priority 24/7 Dispatch for Trees on Structures
When your property is in danger, you move to the front of the line. No waiting. No corporate bureaucracy. Just a Fort Worth crew that's been doing this for 15 years and knows exactly what to do.

Professional Pruning & Tree Health
Healthy trees live longer, look better, and pose less risk to your property. Our professional pruning service removes dead and diseased limbs, enhances shape and curb appeal, and reduces wind resistance during North Texas storms.
Why Professional Pruning Matters
Improved Tree Health
Removing dead, diseased, and crossing branches improves air circulation and allows the tree to focus energy on healthy growth. A well-pruned tree is a stronger tree.
Enhanced Curb Appeal
A properly shaped and elevated canopy transforms your landscape. Crown elevation opens sightlines, thinning improves the tree's natural form, and the result is a more valuable, beautiful property.
Reduced Storm Risk
Heavy, dead limbs and crossing branches are the first to fail in North Texas wind events. Smart pruning reduces wind resistance and eliminates the weak points that turn storms into disasters.
Increased Property Value
Healthy, well-maintained trees are a major asset to any Fort Worth or DFW property. Professional pruning demonstrates care and stewardship—buyers notice.
Our Pruning Approach
We don't just trim branches—we understand DFW tree species and what each one needs to thrive. Here's what we deliver:
Crown Elevation
Raising the canopy improves sightlines, enhances property aesthetics, and allows light to reach landscaping below.
Thinning
Selective removal of interior branches improves air circulation, reduces wind load, and reveals the tree's natural form.
Deadwooding
Removal of all dead, diseased, and dying branches eliminates hazards and directs the tree's energy to healthy growth.
Vista Pruning
Strategic pruning to frame views, improve sightlines, and create visual openness—common in Southlake, Highland Park, and North Richland Hills.
Meticulous Cleanup
All branches and debris removed from your yard. We leave it cleaner than we found it—no piles, no mess, no excuses.
