Tree removal in Prosper

Oncor lists Prosper among the cities it serves, and in its area it trims trees near its high-voltage lines between poles; pole-to-pole trimming must be done by Oncor. Trees along the service line to your house are yours to manage with a private arborist, and Oncor charges for the temporary disconnect. Texas law bars work within six feet of a high-voltage line without arrangements with the operator.

Ask any tree crew whether it is registered with the town, which Prosper requires of all contractors, and whether its quote includes stump grinding: $120 to $400 for the first stump, nationally.

Texas A&M Forest Service advises against pruning oaks from February through June, to limit oak wilt. Tree work is taxable in Texas. Pair limb clearing with a roof check by Prosper roofers; see the Texas tree service guide and the Prosper town page.
