Why Choose
Leatherface Tree Service
Here are just some of the many reasons why customers throughout Dallas choose us for emergency tree removal:
Reasons Your Tree Could Become a Safety Hazard
One of the most devastating situations any homeowner could face is a heavy dose of Mother Nature. In Texas, the weather can get unpredictable, and your yard faces threats that can include:
- Tornadoes
- Wind Damage
- Snow and ice
If a storm strikes your property, it may damage your trees’ branches, trunks and roots, causing instability and eventually resulting in collapse. Meanwhile, leaning trees can topple over if exposed to strong gusts or bad weather. This is especially likely if they are already weakened or compromised.
Other reasons a tree could become structurally unsound include:
- Soil Saturation
- Disease or Pest Infestation
- A Weakened Root System
Trees could lean or fall on power lines, your home or other structures on your property, creating a safety hazard. To avoid property damage and injuries, removing the trees immediately is crucial.

Tree Removal
For significantly damaged trees, sometimes, tree removal is the only option. We leverage our technical skills and specialized equipment to safety remove trees that can no longer be saved.
Stump Grinding
Once a tree has been removed, it's essential to address the remaining stump as it can present a tripping hazard and even harbor pests. Through stump grinding, we create a safer environment for everyone who uses the space.
Cabling and Bracing
For trees with structural issues or potential weaknesses, our cabling and bracing services provide added support and help prevent damage from winds, storms, or the weight of the tree's own limbs. This helps ensure the longevity and safety of your trees.
Tree Aeration
Soil can get compacted around a tree’s roots, preventing them from accessing the nutrients and water it needs to thrive. To address this, we use an AirSpade to aerate the soil and move it away from the root collar without damage.
Construction Damage Mitigation
Construction and landscaping projects can often damage trees, but we can help preserve your trees. Our methods include installing barriers to protect the roots and adding mulch or other media to prevent soil damage around the root zone during construction
Tree Pest and Disease Control
Insects and diseases can cause significant damage to your trees if left unaddressed. Our team can identify, treat, and prevent these issues, maintaining the health and appearance of your trees.
Steps to Take in Case of a
Fallen Tree Emergency
When faced with a fallen tree emergency, it’s crucial to take action as soon as possible. Here are the steps you should take if a tree falls on your property.
Step 1
Assess the Situation
The first step is to assess the extent of the damage and determine if anyone is injured or trapped beneath the fallen tree. However, only do this from a distance. It’s essential to ensure your safety and that of others.
Step 2
Call for Help
If the fallen tree poses an immediate threat to life or property, such as blocking a road, damaging structures, or causing utility lines to fall, call emergency services, such as the fire department or police, as well as your local utility company.
Step 3
Call Your Insurer
If the tree has fallen in an area that does not cause immediate danger, contact your homeowner's insurance company. They can advise you on your next steps and, depending on the situation and your coverage, may even cover the cost of removal.
Step 4
Secure the Area
If it is safe to do so, attempt to cordon off the area around the fallen tree to prevent people and vehicles from entering the vicinity. Use caution tape, traffic cones, or other barriers to establish a safe perimeter until help arrives.
Step 5
Document the Damage
Take photographs or videos of the fallen tree and any resulting damage to property, structures, or utilities. Documenting the scene can help with insurance claims and help you describe the situation to our team.
Step 6
Contact Us
After ensuring the immediate safety of everyone involved, contact Leatherface Tree Service to assess the situation and safely remove the fallen tree. Avoid attempting to remove the tree yourself, as this can be dangerous and may cause further damage.
