Highland Park's canopy is older than almost anything else in Dallas. Live oaks and pecans planted when these blocks were laid out now stand over slate roofs, brick walks, and gardens that took decades to establish. Work on a tree like that is not a tree job with a bigger price. It is rope and rigging over a roof you cannot touch, a drop zone matted before anything comes down, and beds protected rather than walked through.
The rest of it is the grounds. Beds edged and mulched before they thin out, seasonal color changed on schedule rather than when someone notices, irrigation that actually reaches the corners, and drainage handled before water finds the foundation. One crew does all of it, which is why nothing gets blamed on the other guy.
Rafael Godoy owns the company and walks every Highland Park property himself. You are not handed to an account manager, and the crew on site is his own rather than a subcontractor with a magnet on the truck.
Live oaks and pecans lifted off roofs, thinned for wind, and cleared of deadwood, cut to ISA standard at the branch collar. On a tree this age the goal is another forty years, not a tidier silhouette this weekend.
When a tree genuinely has to come out, it comes out in controlled pieces over the roof line. Alley access, matted drives, and protected beds are the normal condition here rather than a special request.
Hard bed lines held all season, shrubs shaped rather than sheared flat, mulch refreshed before it thins, and color changed on a schedule so the front of the house never has a gap.
Front-yard rebuilds, new plantings, stone work, and retaining walls. The design and the install are the same crew, so what was drawn is what gets built and nothing is lost in a handoff.
The same uniformed crew on the same day each week, cutting at the right height for the grass you have. On established Park Cities lawns that means St. Augustine kept tall rather than scalped to match a route.
Ground to roughly twelve inches below grade so the spot takes sod or planting rather than staying a patch you mow around. On older Park Cities lots we locate footings and utilities before starting.
Zones that stopped working, heads watering the walk instead of the bed, and standing water that needs to go somewhere other than toward the slab. Diagnosed properly rather than guessed at.
New sod, shade-thinned areas rebuilt, and the strip under a mature canopy that has not held grass in years dealt with honestly rather than resodded every spring.
Same-day response when a limb comes down on a roof, a car, or across the drive. Photographed before anything is cut, so your insurance has what it needs.
One crew, one number, and Rafael on the property. Most Highland Park clients start with a tree and end up handing us the grounds.

The Town of Highland Park regulates tree removal, and the rules here are stricter than most surrounding cities. We check exactly what applies to your address and your specific tree during the estimate rather than assuming, and we will not start work that needs an approval you do not have.
Rafael Godoy owns the company and walks every Highland Park property himself before quoting it. The crew on site is his own, in uniform, not a subcontractor. There is no account manager between you and the person responsible for the work.
Nothing is dropped. Limbs over a roof are rigged and lowered on ropes, drives and walks are matted before work starts, and beds are boarded rather than walked through. That is slower and costs more than the same tree on a suburban lot, and the difference is in the quote up front rather than discovered afterwards.
No. Alley access is the normal condition in the Park Cities and it is how we work here. Material comes out through the alley in controlled pieces, and the alley stays passable for your neighbors the whole time.
Clean. Sawdust and chips blown off the drive, walks, and beds, debris hauled rather than stacked at the curb, and nothing left in the alley. If your neighbors can tell we were there the next morning, we did not finish the job.
Yes, and that is what most Highland Park clients want. Weekly grounds maintenance, beds and seasonal color, irrigation, drainage, sod, and the tree work, all from one crew with one invoice and one person accountable for it.
Not between February and June. Oak wilt is active across Dallas County and spreads through fresh pruning wounds and shared root grafts, and mature oaks planted in rows along these blocks are exactly the situation it moves through. We schedule oak work outside that window and seal any cut that genuinely cannot wait.
Tree work is priced after Rafael sees it, because a crape myrtle and an eighty-foot pecan over a slate roof are not the same job and no price list covers both honestly. Grounds maintenance is a flat per-visit number set after he walks the property. Every estimate is free and there is no obligation.
