Three Years of Hard Wind in Tahoka

Tree Service in Tahoka has been busy work lately, and the National Weather Service records show why. A West Texas Mesonet station just north-northeast of town has logged a run of severe gusts: 95 mph on May 29, 2024; 70 mph on June 2, 2025; and 76 mph late on June 11, 2026. After that last storm, NWS described widespread tree damage in Tahoka, with limbs and debris damaging buildings and a grocery store roof, and power poles knocked down.

Trees that have already been hit

When a tree goes through several severe storms in a row, damage builds up. A limb cracked in 2024 but still hanging on is weaker in 2025. Torn bark from wind-driven hail, which NWS said stripped trees in June 2025, can let decay start. Large pruning wounds from emergency cleanup may never have been finished with proper cuts. A follow-up inspection after the cleanup is over often finds problems the first pass missed.

The follow-up we recommend

Look for stubs and torn limbs left from earlier storm cleanup and cut them back properly
Check old cracks in the main forks; some can be cabled, others mean removal
Remove deadwood that died back after damage
Rebalance crowns that lost a big limb on one side
Take down trees that lost too much of their crown to recover

A lake town with a long name history

Tahoka is the county seat of Lynn County and is named for nearby Tahoka Lake, a spring-fed lake whose Indian name is said to mean fresh or clear water. The city covers about 2.4 square miles and had 2,375 residents in 2020. Its records show the extremes trees face here: about 20.7 inches of precipitation a year, highs that have reached 116°F, and lows down to -15°F.

Soil and roots south of Lubbock

The Amarillo soil series, common across the Southern High Plains and studied in Lynn County, is a deep fine sandy loam over sandy clay loam, with calcium carbonate building up from about 18 to 40 inches down and a hard, carbonate-plugged layer below that. Tree roots spread out above the carbonate. That is good to know before digging near a tree for a fence post or water line.

Storm damage? Start here

If a tree or limb is on a line, call the electric provider and stay back. If it's on the house, get everyone out of that room. Then call (806) 855-8442. We'll look at the damage, plan the safest way to take the weight off, and give you a written price.

Tahoka Questions

We cleaned up after the storm ourselves. Should someone still look at the tree?

It's a good idea. Storm cleanup often leaves torn stubs and hidden cracks. A follow-up pruning makes proper cuts the tree can seal, and the inspection is free.

Can a cracked fork be saved with cabling?

Sometimes. If the crack is small and the tree is otherwise healthy, a cable installed high in the crown can reduce movement. If the crack runs deep into the trunk, removal is the safer choice.

How far is Tahoka from your usual area?

Tahoka is about 30 miles south of Lubbock, at the southern edge of the area we serve. The estimate is still free, and it's based on the work, not the drive.

Do you take wood and debris away after storm work?

Yes. Hauling is part of the written estimate unless you ask us to leave firewood. After a big storm, debris piles up fast, so having it chipped and removed in the same visit saves you a second job.
