Urban Tree Services

Urban Tree Services handles tree work in McKinney and nearby spots across North Texas including Frisco and parts of Fort Worth. Justin runs the company and leads crews on removals, pruning, storm damage cleanup, tree cabling and bracing, plus stump grinding for both homes and commercial sites. They stay insured and handle jobs from single yard trees to bigger property clearings. Justin gives written estimates and walks properties to point out what needs attention based on tree health.

Customers call them for low branches hanging over streets or roofs, dead limbs that need cutting, trees that fell on fences or houses after storms, and full removals of dead or rotting trunks. Justin and Carlos have trimmed overhanging trees, taken down split limbs, ground stumps below ground level, and thinned canopies while keeping the shape natural. Crews often finish in one day, haul off all debris, and handle extras like roof patches or gutter cleaning when damage occurs. Reviews note they ask for input on optional cuts and leave yards looking neat instead of chopped.

Justin answers calls fast, even on weekends, and shows up the same day or first thing the next morning for urgent work. Crews start early, work through Texas heat, and keep in touch during the job so homeowners know what is happening. Prices come in lower than other bids they compare, and they stick to the written quote without surprises. Service covers residential yards and larger commercial removals around Collin County and nearby towns.

Reviewers keep mentioning the same points: Justin knows trees and explains options clearly, crews clean up thoroughly including streets, and the work holds up after storms. Google shows a perfect score across dozens of jobs. DIRT Score 4.8 from 65 reviews on Finds.

“Used Urban Tree Services to prune two trees in my front yard that were hanging too low over the street according to the city. Justin and his guys did a great job of cleaning up not just the height but dead branches and typical maintenance that should have been done over time previously. They even removed a small dead tree free of charge! Great customer service and I will definitely be using them again in the future!”

“I had a tree fall onto my neighbor's fence and needed help fast. From the moment I reached out, the team was incredibly responsive and professional. They quickly assessed the situation, coordinated everything that needed to be done, and handled the entire process with diligence and care. What impressed me most was their communication. Anytime I had a question or concern, they responded promptly and kept me informed every step of the way. The work was completed efficiently, and they made what could have been a very stressful situation feel manageable. I highly recommend this company to anyone needing tree removal or emergency storm damage assistance. Their professionalism, responsiveness, and attention to detail were outstanding. Thank you Justin!”

“I called Urban Tree Services to get all the trees in my yard trimmed. Justin did a great job trimming the trees that were overhanging the roof or over the property line, including removing some large dead branches. He asked for my input on any branches that were optional to cut before he cut them. By the time he was done, all my trees looked neat and not "chopped off". Justin strives for customer satisfaction and his prices are reasonable. He gives you a written estimate so there is no question about what is included in his price.”

“Urban Tree Services did an amazing job. Our son had them come out to cut down a large dead tree in his back and they did a great job. They were very professional and their price was the best we found. Justin and his team also trimmed two of our trees in the front yard. He took his time trimming and now our trees look better than they did when we bought our house. I highly recommend calling Justin out for your tree service. He really takes pride in his work. We will be using Urban Tree Service from now on.”

“The tree in my front yard died during the last snow storm. One of the limbs broke off and fell on my roof causing damage. Urban Tree Services came first thing the next morning and removed the limb completely, patched my roof and then removed the tree from my front yard. I could not be any more pleased with the professionalism and promptness that they showed. They worked with me and my insurance company to make sure that it was a smooth and effortless process. Sometimes, when things like this happen, it can be worrisome, but when you have a business like Urban Tree Services helping you along the way it can really relieve a lot of stress. If, for any reason, you are in need of some landscaping help, do yourself a favor and call Urban Tree Services. I promise you, you will not regret it.”

“Justin and his crew came out and did an amazing job on my yard in far north Fort Worth (near Keller and Roanoke). They cut my tree canopy up, thinned it out, cleaned up my two crate Myrtles and all my landscaping shrubs. Not only were they super flexible with coming out for the estimate and the work, but they got the work done super quick and cleaned up really good. I’m very impressed with the job they did!! I would 100% recommend!”

“Wow! Urban Tree Services really pulled through for me! I am in the real estate business and have many contractors for various jobs that I have had to contact over the years for not only my clients but for my personal needs and more times than not, I have been disappointed with communication but Justin is in a breed of his own. He not only responded quickly after a storm took out my front yard tree, but he showed up on time and was very quick to take care of me! He removed my tree that split in half and planted a beautiful Red Bud that is thriving well! I will most definitely recommend him to anyone that needs tree work. The best of the best! Thank you, Justin! You have perfected your craft. Bravo!”

“Justin was very responsive and extremely knowledgable. His team did a wonderful job cleaning up all large trees on our property and removed 2 trees that had suffered storm damage. They had everything done in one day and left no debris. Would definitely recommend!”

“Justin is professional, courteous and friendly. That and he really knows trees. The health and quality of your landscape is first with him. His prices are fair and he is honest . His team is prompt and safety conscious. You won’t find a better tree service anywhere in the metroplex.”

“We have two large trees (front yard and back yard) that was in major need of trimming. I received a heads up text before they arrived and they got to work. Trees look great and they cleaned up afterwards very well. They had to move our large trampoline and string lights and they put them back in the correct spot. Will definitely use them again.”

“I had 4 large trees that I needed removed. Justin have a fair quote and his team was great and professional. Thank you Justin”

“Justin cares about trees and about people. He went above and beyond. He gave the best quote for the work done (but he did recommend more work, and explained why), and he knew what he was talking about. We have three HUGE cedar elms that hadn't been touched in years and years and two more that were planted too near to the house. Justin made our property look beautiful. I've had multiple neighbors call me for his number after seeing my trees. But, the best part is that we just had huge storms come through, and even though half our neighborhood has broken and fallen trees, ours are perfectly intact. Even though cedar elms are known for splitting, the ancient ones we have towing over our two story house made it through unscathed. Using Justin at Urban Tree over the other guys didn't just save our trees last night, it likely saved our roof, and maybe a car.”

“Just had Justin’s crew Trim two large trees in my front yard. What a blessing to have Justin recommended to me by a work friend. My initial meet with Justin I knew then he had my trust with his knowledge and detail of what exactly I wanted accomplished. He was very fare priced and I’m thrilled with the end results. They are still out there cleaning up better than it was when they arrived. Highly recommend. Added Bonus his dog Harley is Beautiful and well behaved too. 😁”

“Within the last week I had Urban Tree Services remove 2 dead/rotting trees from my front yard. Justin (the owner) and his team are excellent. His crew arrived promptly at 7:30 a.m. on both days they removed trees from my front yard. They did a great job cutting the trees down and grinding the stumps. Justin even when above and beyond and blew out/cleaned my gutters for me. Overall I was very pleased with them, very nice people, very professional, and Justin even gave me some other landscaping tips for the future ! Two thumbs up!”

“Justin and his team did a great job removing two trees in our yard. He responded quickly, gave us an estimate and came back to do the job all in the same day! His pricing was much better than two other companies we spoke with and he gave us some helpful advice on our lawn care. Would highly recommend and will definitely use again!”

“Justin came out and walked the property and gave me really solid advice on what I needed done and then quotes me for the work. They ended up removing a huge tree that was rubbing on the house and ground several stumps. They removed all of the debris and hauled it off. I would recommend them to anyone looking to have some tree work done because he knows about the health and issues that your trees may be suffering from AND how to fix them! Justin really knows his stuff and he was able to teach me the correct way to prune and the best time to do it. 5 start service from a knowledgable dependable local small business. You have a customer for life here with us. Oh and to top it all off he took care of my neighbors items that they needed while they were here. So after you called your brother-in-laws wife's best friends tree guy for a quote, I invite you to reach out to Justin before you make a decision and you will also understand why they get so many satisfied clients.”

“Really impressed with Justin and crew! After receiving multiple estimates from other companies for pruning of our Oaks, it was clear Justin was just much more knowledgeable about the tress and very interested in their future health and growth. He happened to be pruning a property on the next block and came by at our request. He gave a great estimate, and put a lot of focus into the details of what we were requesting. Aesthetically, we could not be more impressed with the look he and his crew achieved. His work stands out in the neighborhood. Very thorough clean up, including the street. Also, worth noting that the crew and their equipment was not nearly as loud as we had anticipated it would be, especially considering the significant amount of work that was done. It was a pleasant surprise. Communication with Justin was really consistent as well. Thanks so much Justin and crew!”

“Justin was extremely knowledgeable about trees in general, with a clear understanding what was right and what was wrong with trimming or over-trimming them. We talked through all options during his review of my two large and one small oak tree(s) on my property and he took all my concerns seriously. Carlos was his lead arborist during the day of work, showing great skill and attention to safety while climbing in the trees and then showing expertise in removing just the right number of limbs in just the right places to shape the trees magnificently. The work was done quickly and efficiently with a good overall clean up. Excellent experience overall and a very fair price to boot. Will be recommending to all neighbors and friends.”

“We recently moved into a new home in Frisco and the trees and landscaping had been a little neglected. I called Urban Tree Services (on a Sunday) and expected to get voice mail. The owner, Justin, picked up and was able to help us with a few projects (tree pruning and brush removal) the very next day! Extremely professional and knowledgeable about all types of trees, Justin even took the time to give us a little tour of our property to explain what kind of trees we have, their life cycle and recommendations for maintenance. We could not have picked a better company to help us care for our trees. If you have tree pruning or planting/removal needs, I would highly, highly recommend them! Wonderful service and a pleasure to work with. We will absolutely be using Urban Tree Services again.”

“I called Justin because his office is very near my property where a tree had split and fallen onto my roof and yard fence. He got over here promptly and gave me a very reasonable price to get the tree taken down and the stump ground down to below-ground level. His crew was very busy because of some big storms that came through the area in the last few days, but they came over first thing the next morning and did the job. Very courteous, hard-working in intense Texas heat, and they cleaned up before they left. I would be very happy to use Urban Tree Services again.”
