Late August is a good week to walk the yard in Willow Park and Aledo for deadwood that heat and dry wind can drop. Limbs that looked fine in June often crack at the fork after a long hot stretch — and catching them before the next front is cheaper than emergency cleanup.
Happy Tree Trimming checks hanging deadwood, cracked forks, and soil gaps at the trunk for Parker County homeowners. A short walk this week beats a Saturday morning storm call.
What to look for this week
- Hanging or cracked limbs over roofs, driveways, or play areas
- Deadwood that rattles or has no leaves while the rest of the canopy is green
- Soil gaps or heaving at the root flare after dry weeks
- Sudden lean on oaks or pecans after heat and wind

Frequently asked questions
When should I check for late-summer deadwood in Willow Park or Aledo?
After a long hot stretch and before the next wind event. August heat often shows cracked forks and hanging limbs that were not obvious in early summer.
Is this the same as emergency storm cleanup?
No. A planned deadwood check is preventive. Emergency service is for trees already threatening a roof, driveway, or power line after a storm.
