Where We Service: Tree Care, Lawn Care, and Pest Control Across the DFW Metroplex
Trees Hurt Too is a plant health care company serving more than 22 cities across the Dallas and Fort Worth metroplex. From our home base in Forest Hill, Texas, we deliver ISA Certified Arborist tree care, lawn health programs, and residential and commercial pest control across Tarrant County, Dallas County, and the surrounding North Texas region. Owner Ken (ISA Certified Arborist, license Tx-3265-A) leads every diagnostic and treatment program with a focus that has shaped this company since day one: keep North Texas trees, lawns, and landscapes alive and healthy through science-based plant health care, not generic landscape maintenance.
This page is the master service-area directory for Trees Hurt Too. Whether you live in Fort Worth and need an arborist to look at a stressed oak, run a property in Keller and need an annual lawn health program, or manage an HOA in Irving fighting a mosquito problem, you will find the right local page below. Every link points to a page built specifically for your city, with details on local soil conditions, common tree and pest issues, and the programs we run there.
Why Local Matters in North Texas Plant Health Care
North Texas is not one uniform climate zone. Trees Hurt Too services span a region where soil types, common pest pressures, and tree species change noticeably from one county to the next. According to the USDA Plant Hardiness Zone Map, most of our service area sits in Zone 8a, but soil chemistry, drainage, and urban canopy density vary significantly across the metroplex. That variation matters more than most homeowners realize.
A few examples of how local conditions shape our work:
- Tarrant County clay soils tend to compact heavily and drain slowly, which stresses tree roots and creates conditions favorable to fungal disease. Deep root feeding and soil aeration programs are heavily used here.
- Dallas County urban neighborhoods often have older, larger oak and elm canopies under significant heat and drought stress. Diagnostic visits often start with a stress-and-decline workup before any treatment.
- Oak wilt pressure runs especially high in central Tarrant and parts of southern Dallas County, which is why our oak wilt treatment program uses a calibrated regional protocol rather than a generic injection schedule.
- Pest pressure shifts seasonally across the region, with mosquito and chinch bug concerns spiking earlier in southern parts of the service area and termite activity peaking in older Dallas County neighborhoods.
The Texas A&M Forest Service tracks tree health threats statewide, and many of the alerts that affect Trees Hurt Too customers, including oak wilt, hypoxylon canker, and emerald ash borer, follow geographic patterns that change visibly even within the DFW metroplex. That is why every service area page below is built around local conditions, not a generic template.
If you want to read more about how we approach tree-specific work, the tree care service overview walks through our diagnostic philosophy and the conditions we treat most often. For lawn-focused customers, the lawn care program page covers the annual approach and which packages serve different property types best.
Tree Care Service Area
Trees Hurt Too provides ISA Certified Arborist tree care across all of the cities listed below. Tree care from Trees Hurt Too is plant health care, which means the work centers on diagnosing why a tree is struggling and treating the underlying cause through soil, root, and trunk-injection programs. Diagnostic visits are performed personally by Ken or by a technician working from Ken's diagnostic notes. Common services across this area include sick tree treatment, deep root feeding, tree disease treatment, and one-time tree doctor consultations for property owners who want a professional opinion before deciding on a treatment plan.
For a county-level overview, see Tree Care in Tarrant County, Tree Care in Dallas County, or Tree Care in Denton County.
Pest Control Service Area
Pest control runs as both a standalone service and as the protective layer in the Total Lawn Pest Protection Package. Common North Texas pest concerns Trees Hurt Too treats across this service area include ants, cockroaches, spiders, rodents, mosquitoes, fleas and ticks, chinch bugs, subterranean termites, and bed bugs. Each city page below lists local programs, seasonal timing, and the specific pests most active in that part of the metroplex.
Lawn Care Service Area
Annual lawn health programs run across the same service area. The work is built around soil, fertilization, broadleaf and grassy weed control, and seasonal disease and pest treatment. Most customers settle into one of two annual plans: the Full Service Lawn and Ornamental Package, which combines lawn fertilization with shrub and ornamental care, or the Total Lawn Pest Protection Package, which adds a residential pest control program to the lawn schedule.
Some Tarrant County cities have a dedicated lawn care page (Arlington, Bedford, Colleyville, Euless, Fort Worth, Hurst, and Mansfield), while most Dallas County cities and several Tarrant cities use a combined lawn and tree care page. The link for each city below leads to whichever page is the right local fit.

What Plant Health Care Means and Why It Matters
The phrase "tree service" usually conjures up the chainsaw side of the industry. That is not what Trees Hurt Too does. The company exists to keep trees, lawns, and landscapes alive through science-based plant health care: identifying the actual problem, treating the cause, and putting the property on a schedule that prevents the issue from coming back. Across the DFW service area, this approach has saved oaks from oak wilt, recovered cedars and elms from hypoxylon canker, restored chlorotic crape myrtles, and turned around lawns that other companies wrote off as unrecoverable. Ken's ISA Certified Arborist credential (Tx-3265-A) is not just a wall plaque. It is the framework every diagnostic visit operates inside, which means treatment plans match what the science says will actually work for North Texas conditions.
Customers who want to understand the diagnostic process before scheduling a visit can read more on the tree doctor consultation page or the ISA certified arborist services page, both of which explain how a typical first visit works and what to expect.
