Tree Service in Frisco, Sorted by the Age of the Tree
Most yard trees in Frisco were planted the year the house was built. Tell us that year and what the tree is doing, and the request goes to a local tree crew that handles that kind of job.
This site is a referral service. An independent tree company quotes and performs all work.
A City That Planted Its Shade All at Once

- people in Frisco in 1990

- Required
- shade trees on a new single-family lot, a number set by the zoning district
- 2024
- year emerald ash borer was confirmed in Collin County
Put those together and you get streets where every tree is the same age as every other, and the same age as the houses. They reach the sidewalk in the same year, the roof in the same year, and their weak forks meet the same storm.
Population: U.S. Census counts. Lot trees: City of Frisco Zoning Ordinance. Ash borer: Texas A&M Forest Service, June 2024.
Find Your Tree by the Year the House Was Built
- Built before 1990Tree may be 35 years or far older
Frisco had 6,138 people in 1990, so there are few of these. Large crowns, heavy limbs, deadwood and, on the oldest streets, overhead wires.

- Built 1990 to 1999Tree about 27 to 36 years
Full-size shade trees. Limbs well over the roof, roots at the sidewalk, and the first removals of trees that outgrew the spot.
- Built 2000 to 2009Tree about 17 to 26 years
A very large group: the city grew from 33,714 to 116,989 in this decade. Trees are reaching roofs and streets, and two-stem forks are getting heavy enough to split in wind.
- Built 2010 to 2019Tree about 7 to 16 years
Established and growing fast. This is the window when structure can still be corrected with small cuts, and when the crown first needs lifting off the sidewalk.
- Built 2020 or laterTree under 7 years
Still settling in. Stakes that should come off, trunks planted too deep, summer scorch. Mostly a matter of watching, with a first light pruning once the tree is growing well.

Five Questions
Does Frisco Tree Care Pros cut trees?
No. This site takes your description of the problem and passes it to an independent tree service that works in Frisco. That company inspects the tree, gives you its own quote and does the work under its own name and insurance.
Do I need a permit to remove a tree from my yard in Frisco?
Usually not from the city. Frisco's tree removal permit does not apply to a protected tree on a single-family or two-family lot within a plat of record. Your HOA may still require approval, and the lot's required tree count may mean planting a replacement.
Why does this site keep asking when my house was built?
Because Frisco's code has required shade trees on new lots through the years most of the city was built. The build year is the planting year for most yard trees, and age predicts what a tree needs.
Is emerald ash borer in Frisco?
It was confirmed in Collin County in 2024 by Texas A&M Forest Service. If you have an ash, it is worth deciding now whether to treat it or remove it.
Who do I call about a tree on a power line?
The electric utility, and 911 if there is any danger. Frisco is served by Oncor (888-313-6862) and CoServ (855-938-3496 for electric emergencies). Your bill shows which is yours.
