Mid-September fronts after a dry stretch are when Aledo and Willow Park yards drop limbs that looked fine in August. A 15-minute walk for cracked forks, hanging deadwood, and soil gaps at the trunk is cheaper than a Saturday storm call.
Happy Tree Trimming checks Parker County canopies before the next wind. Catching a hung limb over a driveway this week is a planned prune — not an emergency removal after it lands on a roof.
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 walk the yard for mid-September storm prep?
After a dry stretch and before the next forecast wind. September fronts show cracked forks and hanging limbs that were not obvious in August.
Is this the same as emergency storm cleanup?
No. A planned storm-prep walk is preventive. Emergency service is for trees already threatening a roof, driveway, or power line after a storm.
