Texas Tree Expert, a leading emergency tree service provider in the region, is urging homeowners and businesses to stay safe and contact professionals for any hazardous tree situations.

Widespread Tree Damage Across Houston

Recent high winds and heavy rainfall have caused significant damage to trees in residential neighbourhoods, commercial zones, and public spaces. In many areas, large branches have snapped, entire trees have uprooted, and debris is scattered across streets and driveways.

1. Memorial and Spring Branch

2. The Heights

3. Midtown

4. River Oaks
