Tree Removal in South Amarillo

South Amarillo is one of the fastest-growing parts of the city, with new subdivisions pushing south along I-27 toward the Randall County line. Development here accelerated through the 1990s and 2000s and continues today, creating a landscape of newer homes on smaller lots with young-to-maturing tree plantings. This is where a lot of Amarillo's retail and commercial growth has happened over the past 30 years.

A dead or leaning tree in Amarillo can come down fast when the spring thunderstorms roll through the Texas Panhandle. The hard, dry soil out here — especially in older neighborhoods like English Village and Wolflin — doesn't hold roots the way softer ground does, so trees that look stable can fail after a long dry spell followed by a hard rain. Cottonwoods, elms, and hackberries planted in the 1970s and 1980s are getting old, and a lot of them are starting to show it.

We assess every tree on the ground before we touch it — checking lean, root condition, and what's underneath before we make a single cut. Out here the wind comes from the northwest with almost no warning, so we rig and lower branches in sections instead of letting anything fall free near a fence, roof, or power line.
