Tree service in Grand Prairie

The city's once-a-month curbside service is for residents' own trimming. Brush must be out by 7 a.m. on your zone's designated Monday, cut to pieces no more than 10 inches in diameter and 5 feet long, in a pile no bigger than a VW Beetle. Grass clippings, leaves, fencing and plastic bags aren't collected.

If you trim a few limbs yourself, that schedule works. For anything a crew does, the haul-away is the crew's job, so compare quotes on the same basis. A quote that's much lower than the others may simply leave out disposal; ask for it as a separate line, and get the stump grinding priced at the same time if a tree is coming down.

HomeGuide's national averages give a baseline for Grand Prairie quotes:

• Trimming: $400 to $900 per tree, with minimum job fees of $100 to $300 and debris removal adding $75 to $250 (January 2026)
• Removal: $400 to $1,200, from about $200 for a small tree to $3,000 for a large or complex one (February 2026)
• Stump grinding: $120 to $400 for one stump, $30 to $60 for each additional (December 2025)

Texas sales tax applies to tree removal, pruning and spraying as landscaping services. The Texas tree service guide has more.

The state's Power to Choose feed shows Oncor delivering power in Grand Prairie's 75050 ZIP; check your bill for your address. Oncor trims near its high-voltage lines between poles and says pole-to-pole trimming must be done by Oncor. After a storm it prunes only what's needed to restore power and leaves trees and limbs it didn't cut; if a fallen tree doesn't touch the lines, cleanup is yours. The service drop from the pole to your house is your responsibility; Oncor will do a temporary disconnect for your arborist, for a charge. Report a hazardous tree near lines at 888-313-6862, or call 911 if there's fire or sparking.

Under Texas law, nobody may work within six feet of a high-voltage line without arranging safety measures with the operator at least 48 hours ahead. Ask any crew how it handles that before it climbs.

Credentials for Grand Prairie tree crews

ISA Certified Arborist is a voluntary credential with a code of ethics, and treating trees for pests for hire needs a TDA lawn and ornamental license. Texas A&M Forest Service advises no pruning or wounding of oaks from February through June. Before storm season, pair a trim with roofers in Grand Prairie, compare tree service in Irving, or go back to Grand Prairie local services.
