Lubbockscape provides complete tree service in Lubbock, TX 79424, from routine trimming and deadwood removal to emergency storm cleanup, tree removal and stump grinding. Our insured crews work on the trees that actually grow here — Chinese pistache, cedar and Siberian elm, Arizona ash, live and bur oak, pecan, honey locust and pine — and plan every job around the wind, hail and alkaline soil that shape tree health in West Texas.
Structural pruning for young trees, crown cleaning and thinning for mature trees, deadwood removal, raising low limbs over driveways and sidewalks, and clearance from roofs and fences.
Safe removal of dead, dying, leaning or storm-damaged trees, sectional takedowns in tight backyards, full cleanup, and stump grinding below grade so you can plant grass or sod.
Broken limbs on roofs, split trunks and uprooted trees after Lubbock wind and hail storms. We secure the hazard first, then clean up.
Iron chlorosis treatment, insect monitoring for elm leaf beetle, bagworms and borers, deep root watering guidance and mulching to protect roots.
Selection and planting of trees that handle Lubbock's Zone 7 winters and summer heat, placed away from foundations, sidewalks and power lines. See landscape design.
Most tree problems in Lubbock trace back to stress from drought, wind and soil. These are the issues we see most.
| Problem | What You Notice | Common Trees Affected |
|---|---|---|
| Iron chlorosis | Yellow leaves with green veins, thin canopy | Pin oak, red oak, sweetgum, silver maple, some elms |
| Wind and storm breakage | Split crotches, hanging limbs | Siberian elm, Bradford pear, Arizona ash, cottonwood |
| Drought decline | Early leaf drop, dieback at the top | Nearly all trees during dry summers |
| Cotton root rot | Sudden wilting and death in summer | Many broadleaf trees and shrubs in alkaline soils |
| Elm leaf beetle | Skeletonized, lacy leaves | Elms |
| Bagworms | Brown, bag-like pouches on branches | Junipers, cedars, arborvitae |
| Borers | Small holes, sawdust, dieback | Stressed ash and fruit trees |
If a tree shows sudden wilting, large cracks, fungus at the base or a new lean, have it inspected before the next storm.
Texas law restricts tree work within 10 feet of high-voltage power lines to qualified professionals. Lubbock Power & Light (LP&L) uses a contracted tree service to clear its lines. If a tree is touching or growing into a power line, report it to LP&L first. We handle trees near service drops and lines only when it's safe and permitted, and we coordinate with the utility when needed.
Tree service needs follow the age of each Lubbock neighborhood. Central ZIPs such as 79410, 79411, 79412 and 79413 have many of the city's largest, oldest trees, including elms and pecans that overhang roofs and alleys. Newer ZIPs like 79424, 79423 and Wolfforth need more structural pruning on young trees and storm cleanup on trees still establishing in the wind.
