About Tree Trimming in Hockley
Trimming in Hockley splits between residential canopy work on the newer subdivision side and pasture/fence-line clearance on the rural-residential side. Cedar elm needs regular pruning to stay structurally sound (it forms weak forks), and old pecans need deadwood removal every 2-3 years to keep the load distributed.
What grows in Hockley: Rural-residential transition zone north of 290. Lots are bigger, often with cedar elm, post oak, and stands of yaupon. Cattle pastures turning into subdivisions means a lot of work clearing fence lines and old stock-tank trees.

The most common trimming issue we see in Hockley
Cedar elm forks. Cedar elm has a habit of sending up co-dominant trunks that look fine until they're 30 feet tall and the included bark in the union is splitting. That's the call where we either reduce one of the trunks or, if it's already split, we're talking about removal. Catching it during a trim before the split happens saves the tree.
Frequently asked questions
My cedar elm has two trunks. Is that a problem in Hockley?
It can be. Cedar elm tends to send up co-dominant trunks that look fine until they are 30 feet tall and the included bark in the union starts splitting. Catching it during a trim and reducing one of the trunks before the split happens saves the tree.
