Tree Service in Buffalo Springs, TX

Tree Service in Buffalo Springs sometimes starts with a phone call from someone who isn't at the lake. The village wraps around Buffalo Springs Lake, a reservoir on the North Fork Double Mountain Fork of the Brazos southeast of Lubbock, and it counted just 247 households in 2020. Not every owner lives here full-time. A limb comes down on a roof during the week and the owner only finds out when a neighbor sends a photo. We set up our process so that kind of situation can be handled without you having to drive out first.

Lower ground, different conditions

At about 3,022 feet, Buffalo Springs sits more than 150 feet below Lubbock's 3,202 feet, down in the canyon where the river was dammed. About a fifth of the village's 1.9 square miles is open water. Trees near water and in the shelter of canyon walls tend to grow faster and fuller than on the plains, and full crowns catch more wind when storms roll off the Caprock. In June 2025, just up the canyon in Ransom Canyon, the National Weather Service took reports of large trees blown down.

If you're not here

1. Send us photos of the tree from a few angles, plus the address and where on the lot it stands. 2. We'll let you know if anything looks urgent, such as a limb resting on the roof or blocking a drive. 3. We visit the property, measure up the job and send a written estimate you can approve by phone or email. 4. After the work, we send photos of the finished site so you can see the cleanup without making the trip.

Common work around the lake

• Clearing limbs off cabin roofs, decks and boathouses
• Removing dead trees before they drop on a structure
• Raising limbs over drives and parking pads
• Cleaning up fallen trees after storms
• Grinding stumps from older removals
• Pruning to open views of the water while keeping shade

Pruning for a view without hurting the tree

Lake owners often want to see the water without losing shade. The right way is to thin selected branches or raise the lower crown, not to top the tree. Topping causes weak sprouts and decay, and the tree grows back thicker and less stable. Thinning done to the ANSI A300 standard can open a view window that lasts for years.

Utilities

If a tree is on or near an electric line, call your electric provider and stay clear. Many properties in the countryside around Lubbock get power from South Plains Electric Cooperative, which takes outage reports at (888) 741-0111. Once the line side is safe, we handle the tree.
