About Holcomb
Dallas' Only Arborist-Led Tree Care Team.
Most tree companies start with a saw. We start with a diagnosis. Holcomb Tree Service
has been caring for the trees of Highland Park, University Park, and greater Dallas
since 1956, back when many of the mature oaks lining your street were barely saplings.
We keep multiple ISA-certified arborists on staff. That's unusual. Most tree services
don't employ even one. It means every assessment, every recommendation, and every cut we
make is guided by science, not guesswork.
Our real work isn't removal. It's keeping your trees alive longer.
Every tree, every season, every property is different. We don't push services you don't need. We recommend what the science supports, then execute with 70+ years of field experience behind every decision.
"I've used Holcomb for 25ish years. Tree trimming and fertilization each year. We have beautiful old trees that require some extra care to keep them nice and also trimmed to keep our neighbors happy and safe."

Every property visit starts with a certified arborist, not a sales rep and not a foreman. You get a science-based diagnosis from someone who spent years studying tree biology, not just someone who learned to operate a chainsaw. Most companies in Dallas can't say that. We've built our team around it.
02
Health first, removal last
We'd rather save your tree than take it down. Proactive care, including deep root fertilization, disease intervention and structural pruning at the right time of year, extends the life of your trees by decades and saves you the cost of emergency removal. When a tree does need to come down, we'll tell you honestly and explain why.
03
70+ years in your neighborhood
We've watched Highland Park's canopy grow. We've treated the same live oaks through three generations of homeowners. That kind of local knowledge cannot be learned from a textbook: knowing how Dallas clay soil holds water, how Texas heat stresses a pecan differently than a cedar elm, which fungal threats peak after a wet spring. It takes decades of boots on your ground.
04
Transparent, honest pricing
We'll never recommend work you don't need. If a tree is fine, we'll tell you it's fine. If it needs attention, we'll explain exactly what, why, and how much, before any work begins. No hidden fees, no upsells, no pressure. That's how you build relationships that last 25 years, like our client Karen's.
We Know Dallas Trees Because We've Grown Up With Them.
North Texas isn't easy on trees. Summer highs above 105°. Clay-heavy alkaline soil that locks out iron. Sudden spring storms that snap weakened limbs overnight. Oak wilt moving silently through connected root systems.
Our arborists have spent decades managing these exact conditions for the species that define the Dallas landscape: live oaks, red oaks, pecans, cedar elms, Texas redbuds, and crape myrtles. We know when each one needs to be pruned, what nutrient deficiencies to look for in July, and which ones need root barriers after new construction.
This isn't textbook knowledge. It's 70+ years of working the same soil, under the same sun, for the same neighborhoods.
Let's Talk About Your Trees.
Every project starts with a free, no-obligation visit from one of our certified
arborists. We'll walk your property, assess your trees, and give you an honest
recommendation, whether that means a full care plan or simply "your trees look great,
we'll check back next year."
