What to Do When a Severe North Texas Windstorm Drops a Tree on Your Roof
Tree fell on your Texas roof? 5 emergency steps: evacuation, utility shutoffs, insurance claims & crane removal. Call (855) 615-0568 for 24/7 help.

Protect your home, family, and landscape with Lewisville's trusted tree removal, pruning, and emergency storm cleanup specialists. Licensed, fully insured, and equipped for zero-impact extraction.
When sudden North Texas severe thunderstorms, microburst winds, hail, or lightning strike around Castle Hills, Lewisville Lake, or FM 407, a cracked limb or fallen oak requires disciplined hazard isolation—not hasty DIY chainsaw work.
Move everyone indoors outside the tree's potential fall path. Treat every downed or contacted utility line as energized. Stay at least 30 feet back, do not step in flooded water near root plates, and close off rooms directly under damaged roof decking.
Never climb on rooflines or storm-tangled timber. Photograph the entire tree, street address, damaged structures, fences, and exposed root heave from safe angles. Preserving these before-cleanup photos is critical for your insurance claim adjuster.
Tell our live dispatcher whether the tree is standing, split, suspended, or actively resting on a structure. We explain safe temporary actions, coordinate with power utilities if wires are involved, and provide the earliest realistic arrival window.

Lewisville receives 36.48 inches of normal annual precipitation based on NOAA 1991–2020 records. Saturated Blackland clay, heavy hail, summer heat drought, and utility line conflicts can cause similar distress symptoms. Use this guide to determine the safest next step before ordering work:
| Cause | Warning Signs | Immediate Response | Professional Service | Insurance or Permit Note |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Severe thunderstorm, hail, or wind | Split union, hanging limb, torn bark, fresh lean, blocked driveway | Keep clear; isolate the fall zone; call electric utility if wires are involved | Emergency securing, sectional removal, storm cleanup | Photograph before cleanup; verify whether city emergency permit applies |
| Drought or heat stress | Wilted canopy, premature leaf drop, canopy dieback, insect borer holes | Improve deep watering after checking drainage restrictions; schedule arborist check | Tree health evaluation, soil care, deep root fertilization | Coverage varies; preserve arborist diagnosis notes for records |
| Flooding or root-zone damage | Exposed root heave, soil washout, fresh trunk tilt, spongy waterlogged clay | Keep vehicles off unstable ground; avoid compacting saturated soil | Root-zone assessment, stabilization, drainage correction, or removal | Verify Lewisville flood-zone guidelines and structural hazard exception |
| Oak wilt or fungal disease concern | Rapid canopy browning, bronze leaf margins, vascular streaking on red/live oaks | Avoid cutting or creating wounds until diagnosis and timing plan are confirmed | Disease diagnosis, Alamo fungicide micro-infusion, trenching, sanitation | Avoid oak pruning Feb 1 to June 30 per Texas A&M guidance |
| Construction compaction or utility conflict | Reduced canopy vigor, severed feeder roots, branches crowding utility drops | Keep heavy machinery off root plate; do not prune near energized wires yourself | Air-spade pneumatic decompaction, utility clearance pruning, preservation plan | Verify Lewisville protected-tree mitigation and utility coordination |
Rather than defaulting to automatic removal, our certified estimators apply an evidence-based 5-point evaluation framework before proposing a solution:
Best when the trunk, root flare, and scaffold branches are structurally sound, but the canopy suffers from chlorosis, compaction, or treatable early-stage fungal stress.
Best when a sound tree has localized hazards such as deadwood, crossed branches, roof encroachment, or wind-sail density that can be corrected without topping.
Required when internal trunk decay exceeds 40%, the root plate is actively shifting in clay, severe split crotches threaten occupied structures, or oak wilt has destroyed the vascular system.
YardaBella means "Beautiful Yard", and that's our goal: To create and maintain an outdoor environment your family can enjoy and be proud of. As we work as unto the Lord, we promise that we will consistently over-deliver and delight. YardaBella ... your yard (and trees), beautiful. In Denton County's shifting Blackland clay, mature trees demand specialized structural rigging and root care that generic lawn contractors simply cannot provide.

We lay heavy-duty ground protection mats across sod and pavers before moving mini-skids or heavy machinery. Your lawn stays pristine.
Tight zero-lot-line residential setups in Flower Mound, Carrollton, and Plano require controlled branch piecing and crane lifting directly over roofs.
We sterilize our chainsaws and shears between every cut with isopropyl disinfectant and immediately apply arborist sealant to fresh oak wounds.
You receive an itemized proposal covering felling, chipping, hauling, stump depth, and cleanup before any saw turns on.

From technical crane picks over fragile shingles to deep root grinding, we protect your turf and landscape at every stage.


Unlike competitors who hide pricing behind high-pressure sales calls, we believe in open planning figures. Every tree is unique, but published Denton County averages provide a realistic foundation before your on-site arborist evaluation:

Estimated range based on similar scope in North Texas clay soils.
Why can two trees of identical height have different costs? Your written scope reflects these site-specific conditions:
Trees towering directly over tile roofs, pool enclosures, gas meters, or ONCOR power drops require rigging blocks, friction bollards, or crane pick assist.
Open front yards allow rapid equipment positioning. Fenced backyards with 36" gates require compact mini-skids, manual timber carry, and composite ground mats.
Hollow trunks, internal rot, and storm-split unions cannot safely support a climbing arborist and require bucket truck or crane stabilization.
Waterlogged Blackland clay near Lake Lewisville shorelines or drainageway slopes requires track equipment to prevent turf rutting.
Complete brush chipping, log hauling, and stump grinding versus leaving seasoned split firewood on site reduces truck transit and disposal fees.
Every proposal lists felling, equipment, haul-away, and cleanup line by line. We never invoice unexpected extras without prior written approval.
Municipal Tree Regulations: The City of Lewisville enforces tree preservation ordinances designed to safeguard mature hardwoods, including post oaks, bur oaks, and cedar elms. While occupied single-family and duplex properties typically have exemptions for routine residential maintenance and urgent hazards, commercial developments, major additions, and designated specimen trees may require a formal tree survey, preservation plan, or mitigation review before removal.
Active Hazard Exception: Trees that present an immediate structural threat to a dwelling, fence, or public roadway do not require lengthy municipal permit delays. Our team photographs the imminent hazard, documents root upheaval or split crotches, and archives the file with your permanent property records.
Texas Oak Wilt Quarantine Compliance: Texas A&M Forest Service entomologists emphasize that sap-feeding nitidulid beetles transmit deadly Ceratocystis fagacearum fungal spores during spring months. We strictly restrict non-emergency oak pruning between February 1 and June 30, and spray all cut surfaces immediately with wound sealant.
Because Texas has no general statewide tree license, we carry $2,000,000 commercial liability, full workers' compensation, and adhere to ANSI A300 standards.

“During the recent windstorm, a massive 60-foot post oak split and was leaning right over our master bedroom. YardaBella had an emergency crew at our house in Castle Hills in less than 35 minutes. They used a crane to lift the tree off without touching our roof! Flawless cleanup, spotless yard. True professionals.”
“We have two heritage post oaks protected by Flower Mound ordinances. YardaBella's arborist knew the town requirements inside and out. They pruned deadwood, elevated the branches 10 feet off our roof, and sealed every single cut immediately. Our lawn looks brand new.”
“We had two decaying willow trees hanging over our swimming pool and boat dock. Other companies said they couldn't reach it without tearing up our pavers. YardaBella laid turf protection mats, roped every limb down with zero splash in the pool, and ground the stumps 10 inches down. Remarkable craftsmanship.”
“A huge branch snapped and was hanging over our electrical service drop. YardaBella coordinated with Oncor, took it down safely, and chipped all the brush. Their written quote was completely transparent—no surprise fees like other tree services.”
“Our Bradford pear split in half during a thunderstorm. YardaBella removed the hazard, ground the stump, and cleaned up so thoroughly that you couldn't tell there was ever a tree there. Highly recommended across DFW!”
“Our Shumard oak had terrible yellow leaves from iron chlorosis in our heavy clay soil. YardaBella did a deep root soil injection in the spring, and within six weeks the entire canopy was dark, lush emerald green. Exceptional plant health knowledge.”
