Tree Removal El Paso, TX 79901 | El Paso Tree Service

El Paso's tree canopy tells the story of the city itself: Arizona ash and fruitless mulberry towering over early-1900s brick bungalows in Sunset Heights and Kern Place, Afghan pines shading the wide lots of Northeast El Paso, old cottonwoods and pecans lining the acequias of the Upper Valley, and Mexican fan palms standing sentinel in newer subdivisions across the Westside and Horizon City. We're El Paso Tree Service, and we know every one of these trees, every neighborhood, and every challenge that comes with keeping them healthy in the Chihuahuan Desert.

Homeowners and property managers call us when a heavy mulberry limb threatens the roof, when spring windstorms snap branches over power lines, when Arizona ash dieback or mistletoe damage needs expert attention, or when a tree has simply reached the end of its life and needs safe removal. We've been serving El Paso and the surrounding area for years, and we understand the terrain, the soil, the heat, and the trees that thrive (and sometimes fail) in this high desert landscape.

Tree Service in El Paso (79901)

El Paso sits on caliche-laced sandy soil in the shadow of the Franklin Mountains, with properties ranging from steep, tree-lined streets in the historic neighborhoods to flat, rock-landscaped lots on the East side and far Westside. Our city's dominant shade trees include Arizona ash (which suffers from drought stress and mistletoe), big fruitless mulberries (prone to heavy limb failure), Afghan and Mondell pines, Chinese elms, mesquite, and desert willow. Along the Rio Grande and the irrigation canals, you'll find tall cottonwoods that can drop massive limbs in the spring windstorms that blow hard from February through May, and again during summer monsoon microbursts. Add 100-plus-degree summers, occasional hard freezes that damage palms, and the salt stress that affects older trees on long-established properties, and you have a complex tree care environment.

Our team handles tree removal, trimming and pruning, stump grinding, emergency storm response, hedge and shrub care, land clearing, and arborist consultation throughout El Paso and the surrounding areas. We work on properties from the historic neighborhoods below the mountains to the newer subdivisions, and we know how to navigate tight lot access, power line proximity, HOA approval requirements, and the specific needs of each neighborhood's tree stock.

How a Job Works in El Paso

Step 1: You call us at (915) 320-6669 or request a free estimate online. We schedule an on-site visit to assess the tree, the surrounding property, any hazards or constraints (power lines, structures, slopes, lot size), and what you're trying to accomplish. We ask questions about how long the tree has been there, what problems you've noticed, and whether you've had any arborist advice. We give you a clear estimate with no surprises.

Step 2: Once you approve, our crew arrives with the right equipment for the job. Whether we're removing a 50-foot Arizona ash from a steep driveway in Kern Place, trimming heavy mulberry limbs over a roof in Northeast El Paso, grinding out a stump on a tight East side lot, or clearing land for a new build near Horizon City, we work safely and efficiently. We manage debris, protect your property and your neighbors' property, and coordinate with power companies if needed.

Step 3: We clean up thoroughly, haul away all debris, and do a final walkthrough with you. Your property is left clean, and we dispose of all material responsibly. If you need arborist advice on remaining trees or preventive care, we can discuss that too.

Pricing for tree work in El Paso depends on several factors: the size and species of the tree, how easy access is to your property, whether the tree is near structures or power lines, how urgently you need the work done, and how much debris needs to be hauled away. A small tree removal might start around a few hundred dollars, while a large Arizona ash or mulberry removal from a steep lot or a property with tight access can run significantly more. Tree trimming and pruning typically start at $250 and scale with the size of the canopy and the complexity of the work. Stump grinding starts at $150 per stump. Emergency storm response, hedge trimming, land clearing, and arborist consultation are all available. The best way to get an accurate price for your specific property and trees is to call us at (915) 320-6669 for a free, no-obligation estimate. We'll visit your property, assess the work, and give you a realistic quote.

Why do Arizona ash trees fail so often in El Paso?

Arizona ash is one of our most common shade trees, but it's also one of the most vulnerable in our climate. The combination of drought stress, salt-laden soil, and mistletoe infestation causes dieback, weak branch structure, and limb failure, especially during our spring windstorms. If you see thinning canopy, dead branches, or mistletoe clusters in your ash tree, call us for an arborist consultation. Sometimes targeted pruning and care can extend the tree's life, but sometimes removal is the safest option.

What should I do if a tree falls on my house or car during an El Paso windstorm?

Call us immediately at (915) 320-6669. We offer emergency tree removal and storm response 24/7. We'll assess the damage, remove the fallen tree or hazardous hanging limbs safely, and help you document the damage for insurance. We're fully insured, so your property and ours are protected during the work. Time matters in these situations, so don't wait.

How much does it cost to remove a large tree in El Paso?

A large tree removal typically costs anywhere from $800 to $3,000 or more, depending on the tree's height and spread, how close it is to structures or power lines, whether the lot is steep or has tight access, and how much debris needs to be hauled away. A 50-foot Arizona ash on a flat East side lot is very different from a 60-foot mulberry on a steep driveway in Sunset Heights. Call us for a free estimate at (915) 320-6669, and we'll give you an accurate price for your specific tree.

Do I need a city permit to remove a tree in El Paso?

Tree removal permits are required in many situations in El Paso and nearby cities, depending on the tree's diameter, species, and location. Some trees are protected under local heritage ordinances. Before you remove any large tree, check with the City of El Paso website at https://www.elpasotexas.gov to understand local requirements. We're familiar with El Paso's regulations and can help guide you through the permit process, or we can handle the coordination for you.

My neighbor's mulberry tree has branches hanging over my roof. What can I do?

You have the right to trim branches that overhang your property back to the property line, but you should notify your neighbor first and consider hiring a professional to do it safely. If the overhang is severe or poses a hazard, document it and consider sending a formal letter. If your property is in an HOA, check your CC&Rs before taking action. We can handle the trimming professionally and safely if you'd like. Call us at (915) 320-6669 to discuss your situation.

Are you fully insured for tree work at my El Paso property?

Yes. We are fully insured with comprehensive general liability and workers' compensation coverage. Your property, your family, and our team are all protected while we work. We carry the insurance requirements mandated by the State of Texas and by local municipalities.

When is the best time to trim trees in El Paso?

Late winter and early spring (January through March) are ideal for most tree trimming in El Paso, while trees are still dormant or just beginning to leaf out. This timing avoids the stress of summer heat and prepares trees for the spring windstorm season. For hazard removal or storm-damaged limbs, we work year-round. Avoid heavy pruning in late fall, as it can stimulate tender new growth vulnerable to hard freezes. If you're unsure about timing for your specific trees, call us for an arborist consultation at (915) 320-6669.
