Tree Service in North Laredo, TX

Tree service in North Laredo often means working with younger trees in newer yards. The north side is framed by Loop 20, also called the Bob Bullock Loop, which runs about 14.9 miles around the north and east sides of the city, and by FM 1472, known locally as Mines Road. Texas A&M International University's campus sits along Loop 20.

Structural pruning for young trees

The cheapest time to fix a tree is in its first ten years. Young trees in new yards often have:

• Two or more trunks competing at the top
• Limbs with tight, narrow forks that trap bark
• Low branches that will one day block a driveway or sidewalk
• Crowns that lean toward the house

Structural pruning picks one main leader, removes or shortens competing stems and sets the lowest permanent branch at a useful height. A few small cuts now prevent big ones later.

Planting in the right place

Many young trees are planted too close to the house, the driveway or the property line. If a tree you have will clearly outgrow its spot, it may be smarter to remove it now, while it is small, and plant elsewhere. We will tell you which trees have room and which do not.

Roads still being built

Loop 20 has been extended in stages since the 1990s, reaching north in 1996 and west to the border in 1998, and TxDOT has long planned to upgrade it with more interchanges and frontage roads. Construction near a yard can damage tree roots through trenching, grade changes and soil compaction. If work is planned near your trees, the root zone needs to be protected, and stressed trees should be checked afterward.

Removals and stumps

When a tree needs to go, whether it was damaged, planted in the wrong spot or is in the way of an addition or a pool, we remove it in sections if space is tight and grind the stump so the ground can be used.

Laredo heat applies here too

The north side shares the city's hot semi-arid climate, with about 74 afternoons a year at 100 degrees or more and rainfall that peaks in May and September. Newly planted and young trees need deep watering during dry stretches and should not be pruned hard in peak summer.

North Laredo is inside the City of Laredo, so check with the city before removing trees near streets or common areas, and check with your HOA if you have one. Call (956) 633-2503 or send photos with the form.
