Iron chlorosis — yellow leaves with green veins on red oaks, sweetgums, and magnolias — caused by DFW's alkaline clay soil locking up iron. It's also one of the most treatable problems we see, with visible greening typically within 4–8 weeks of trunk injection.
If you have red or live oaks, yes — you should know about it. Don't prune oaks between February 1 and June 30 in Texas without proper wound sealant (that's the beetle-transmission window). We treat oak wilt with macro-infusion of propiconazole, which is highly effective if caught early.
Tree damage to insured structures is typically covered, including removing the portion of the tree on the structure. Routine maintenance — pruning, treatment — is not covered. We help document insurance claims for storm-damaged trees.
Pricing depends on tree size, count, access, and what's needed. Tree removal ranges $400–$4,000; trimming $300–$1,800; disease treatment $200–$1,200 per tree per treatment. See our full DFW Cost Guide for service-by-service ranges. Every job gets a free written estimate.
