Your Best Choice
For Arborists in Plano
Texas Tree Surgeons℠ is proud to have been caring for Plano’s trees for the past 20 years! Our tree service offers not only trimming and removal but also tree health care and preservation to help keep your Plano trees healthy.
Texas Tree Surgeons is owned by ISA Board Certified Master Arborist® Amy Langbein Heath. We hire only the most experienced climbers to trim trees, and all our employees train under a Certified Arborist. This attention to detail and emphasis on education has made Texas Tree Surgeons one of the best tree care services in Plano and the surrounding areas.
As North Texas natives, we have seen Plano develop over the past 40 years. Growing up, Plano was mostly farms, ranch land, and flat prairies. Now, Plano has 1.6 million trees and 16% of the town is covered in tree canopy. Plano is celebrating its 30th year as a designated Tree City USA. Plano was also host to the 2019 Texas Arbor Day festivities. The city of Plano cares about its urban forest, and we are proud to help take care of it.
In addition to beautiful private trees, Plano is full of gorgeous green spaces and public parks. Parks like Oak Point Preserve not only contribute to natural beauty, but have a positive effect on physical and mental health and property values. According to the city, Plano’s parks “[increase] the market value of nearby homes by nearly $337 million annually[,…s]ports and tournament-related tourism generates $39.2 annually[, and…]exercise [at these facilities] yields an annual medical cost savings of $21.2 million.” Unlike so many communities, Plano recognizes the holistic value of its urban forest, and wants to preserve its trees for generations to come.

Since 2014
Driving around the community and talking about trees with our neighbors is the best. I love what I do. I have been an arborist with Texas Tree Surgeons for the last 9 years.
I enjoy being at the lake, doing anything outdoors, baking, and watching panda videos on instagram. Pandas, and trees, make everything better.

Plano
Plano has grown into a city known for its trees and green spaces. For example, the Bicentennial Bur Oak in Bob Woodruff Park in Plano is on the Texas Registry of Historic Trees and is estimated to be over 500 years old. Oak Point Preserve covers over 800 acres along Rowlett Creek and is a haven for nature lovers from all over North Texas. In total, Plano has more than 70 miles of managed trails lined with natural beauty and majestic trees.
Plano has also striven to diversify its urban forest. Bur oaks, like the Bicentennial Bur Oak, are just one of the Texas native tree species that thrive in Plano. We also find American elms, cedar elms, live oaks, and dozens more. Species diversity helps Plano’s trees resist disease and insects.
At Texas Tree Surgeons, we love trees and we love our customers. We recognize that the different species that have been planted over the past 40 years have different needs: hardwood and long-lived trees may be thriving or even outgrowing the area where they were planted and require trimming or removal; softwoods, such as Bradford pears, may be nearing the end of their lifespan in urban environments and in need of plant health care. Areas with dense populations of live or red oaks may be susceptible to oak wilt. Ash trees in Plano are threatened by the growing threat of the emerald ash borer beetle. Whatever kinds of trees you have, our certified arborists can assess your trees’ needs and prepare a course of action.
With the devastation of the 2019 storms, now is the best time to plant a new tree. If you are looking to plant a tree in Plano, the city has published a wealth of information on their website. We are able to assist you in every aspect of Plano tree care, as we have knowledge of the best trees that grow in this area. If you have trees that need to be taken down, we can do that too, and can handle everything in between. When it comes to tree services in Plano, Texas Tree Surgeons are the experts. Trust us to help you maintain healthy and beautiful trees.
