Tree Removal in Lewisville, TX — What to Know Before You Call

Lewisville sits at the intersection of several major growth corridors in DFW, and its tree canopy reflects decades of suburban development — a mix of native oaks and elms alongside ornamental species planted in the 1980s and 1990s that are now reaching the end of their lifespan. Tree removal is a regular need for Lewisville homeowners, whether it is a dead tree, a storm-damaged tree, or one that has simply outgrown its space.

Tree Crew provides professional tree removal throughout Lewisville and the surrounding Denton County area.

Not every problem tree needs to be removed. But some situations make removal the right call:

• Dead trees — A dead tree deteriorates quickly and becomes a hazard. See our guide on why dead tree removal should not wait
• Severe storm damage — When more than 50% of the crown is damaged or the main trunk is compromised
• Root damage near the foundation — When roots are actively damaging your foundation or sewer lines
• Disease that cannot be treated — Advanced oak wilt, severe root rot, or other conditions that have progressed too far
• Wrong tree, wrong place — A tree planted too close to the house, under power lines, or in a location where it will always be a problem

Tree removal pricing in Lewisville is consistent with the broader DFW market:

• Small trees (under 25 ft): $250–$600
• Medium trees (25–50 ft): $500–$1,000
• Large trees (50–75 ft): $900–$1,800
• Very large trees (75+ ft): $1,500–$3,000+

Factors that affect price include access (can equipment reach the tree?), proximity to structures, and whether the tree is dead or alive. Dead trees can be slightly cheaper to remove but are less predictable — decayed wood can break unexpectedly, requiring more careful rigging.

Stump grinding is almost always quoted separately. Budget an additional $75–$200 per stump depending on size.

The City of Lewisville has a tree preservation ordinance that protects certain trees on private property. Protected trees generally include those above a certain trunk diameter (typically 8 inches or more). Removing a protected tree without a permit can result in fines and required mitigation planting.

Before removing any significant tree in Lewisville, verify permit requirements with the city's development services department. Tree Crew handles permit research as part of our service — we will tell you upfront whether a permit is needed and what it involves.

The most important things to verify before hiring any tree removal company:

1. Liability insurance — Minimum $1 million per occurrence
2. Workers' compensation — Protects you if a worker is injured on your property
3. ISA certification — International Society of Arboriculture certification indicates trained professionals
4. In-person estimate — Any company that quotes removal over the phone without seeing the tree is guessing

Tree Crew is licensed, insured, and carries full workers' compensation coverage. We serve Lewisville along with Flower Mound, Highland Village, Coppell, and the broader Denton County area.
