Sherman tree service rules and costs
A landscaping ordinance, Ordinance 6692, followed on February 5, 2024. Size thresholds are set in the ordinance text, so get the answer from the city in writing. Oncor lists Sherman among its cities, and where it serves your address, it trims near its high-voltage lines between poles; the service line from pole to house is your job, with a charged temporary disconnect if needed. Texas law bars work within six feet of a high-voltage line without arrangements with the operator.
HomeGuide (national, February 4, 2026) puts removal at $400 to $1,200 on average and trimming at $400 to $900 per tree. Texas sales tax applies to tree work. The Texas tree service guide has more.
Sherman tree debris and brush pickup
After storms, Oncor prunes only what it needs to restore power and will not remove trees or debris it did not create, so a fallen tree that misses the lines is yours to clear. Request brush pickup by app or at 903-892-7777; one a month is free, usually within 3 business days. Ask the crew whether it hauls debris or leaves it at the curb. Pair the work with roofing companies in Sherman, and see the Sherman services guide.
