As the team at Double D Landscapes, we're deeply embedded in Prosper and McKinney, Texas — these are the communities where we live, raise our families, and care for landscapes every single day. Our North Texas climate brings unique demands for shrub and tree trimming: brutal summer heat and drought stress plants, sudden storms can create heavy, overgrown branches, and our alkaline clay soils often lead to rapid, uneven growth in popular species like crepe myrtles, live oaks, yaupon hollies, and loropetalums. Improper trimming at the wrong time or in the wrong way can lead to "topping" damage, weak regrowth, disease entry, or even safety hazards from falling limbs.

That's why we're the best at shrub and tree trimming in Prosper and McKinney. We provide expert, arborist-informed pruning that keeps your trees and shrubs healthy, shapely, and safe while enhancing your property's beauty and value year after year.

Here's what sets our trimming services apart:

• Deep local knowledge of North Texas plants — We know exactly how our Zone 8a species respond here. We time trims perfectly: light shaping and deadwood removal in late winter/early spring for most trees, structural pruning for oaks in dormant season to avoid oak wilt risks, and summer touch-ups for crepe myrtles to encourage those iconic blooms without the dreaded "crepe murder." Shrubs get seasonal shaping to maintain natural form while controlling size.

• Proper techniques for health and longevity — We follow industry best practices: no topping, clean cuts at the branch collar, selective thinning to improve airflow and light penetration (reducing disease), and balanced shaping that respects each plant's natural growth habit. This promotes strong structure, vibrant foliage, and better storm resistance in our windy Texas weather.
