The historic district east of US 75 has the oldest residential canopy in Collin County. Pecans and live oaks planted a century ago now sit over slate roofs, brick walks, and lots with no equipment access, which is careful, slow, rope-and-rigging work rather than anything a bucket truck solves. West McKinney is the opposite problem: Stonebridge Ranch, Craig Ranch, and Trinity Falls are young canopies where the right move now is formative pruning that prevents a removal later.
Common species we work on across McKinney: Live Oak, Red Oak, Cedar Elm, Pecan, Bur Oak, and Crape Myrtle. Because McKinney's older lots drain toward the street and the newer ones were graded flat, drainage comes up on a lot of the same visits.
Crown thinning, lifting, and deadwood removal done to ISA standard, which means cuts at the branch collar and no topping. Historic-district pecans need lifting off roofs and thinning for wind, done in stages rather than all at once on a century-old tree.
Hazardous, dead, and unwanted trees taken down with rigging that protects what is underneath. Downtown McKinney lots have no machine access, so removals there come down piece by piece over the roof line.
Stumps ground to roughly twelve inches below grade so the ground will take sod or planting afterwards. Old McKinney properties hide brick footings and abandoned utilities near stumps, which is worth locating before grinding.
Same-day response for fallen trees and split limbs on a roof, a car, or across access. Collin County spring storms hit McKinney's tall old pecans hardest, usually taking a top rather than the whole tree.
Weekly and biweekly routes across McKinney with the same uniformed crew each visit, cut at the right height for the grass you actually have. Historic-district lawns are small, shaded and full of surface roots. West McKinney is open turf on a new grade. We price them differently because they are different jobs.
Zones that will not come on, heads spraying the fence, valves stuck open, and controllers nobody has reprogrammed since the house was built. Diagnosed properly rather than guessed at from the curb.
Standing water does not soak away on North Texas ground, it works toward the slab. French drains, surface drains, regrading, and retaining walls. Older McKinney lots were built to drain to the street, and the trouble usually starts where a later patio or addition cut that path.
New sod, flowerbeds, shrub shaping, mulch, seasonal color, and full front-yard rebuilds. Design and install are the same crew, so nothing is lost between them. Century-old McKinney beds sit over roots and old brick footings, so bed work here is done by hand rather than with a trencher.
Yard waste, storm debris, construction leftovers, and the pile behind the garage. Loaded and hauled rather than dragged to the curb for someone else to worry about.
One crew, one number, and owner Rafael Godoy on the job. Most McKinney properties that call us about a tree end up handing us the rest of the yard too.
Small tree removals typically run $150–$500, medium trees $500–$1,500, and large trees $1,500–$4,000+ depending on access and condition. Stump grinding adds $100–$400. Trimming is priced per tree after Rafael sees it, because a crape myrtle and a sixty-foot pecan are not the same job. Every quote is free and on site.
The whole property. The same crew handles mowing, edging, sprinkler repair, drainage, sod, beds, and hauling. Most people find us through a tree and keep us for the rest, which is cheaper for them than coordinating four companies and better for us than a one-off job.
Yes. Full liability insurance and workers compensation, with certificates available before any work begins.
Estimates usually go out within the hour during business hours, and hazards get a two-hour response. Storm work runs seven days, and anything on a roof or touching a line is triaged ahead of routine jobs.
It leaves with us. Limbs, chips, and the trunk are hauled off and the ground is raked and blown before we go. If you would rather keep the wood cut to length and stacked, say so and we will do that instead.
Yes. We photograph the damage before anything is cut and give you an itemized invoice your adjuster can work from. Emergency make-safe work usually goes ahead first and the paperwork follows.
Rafael Godoy owns the company and quotes the work himself. You are not handed to an account manager, and the crew on site is his crew rather than a subcontractor with a magnet on the truck.
McKinney regulates tree removal on some properties, and the historic district has its own considerations on top of the citywide rules. We check the current requirement for your address during the free estimate rather than assuming.
Yes, and that is most of what McKinney tree work is. Everything comes down on ropes over the roof line, with the drop zone matted and the brick walks protected. It takes longer than a suburban lot and we price it that way up front rather than surprising you.
Age alone is not the problem. Live oaks routinely go well past a century in good health. What matters is whether it has a weak fork, decay at an old wound, or roots that have been cut by construction. We will look at the actual defects rather than pricing off the age of the tree.
Yes. HOA compliance trimming across McKinney's managed communities, done to the deadline with documentation your HOA will accept.
Yes. The same crew mows, edges, fixes sprinklers, and handles drainage, and Rafael prices the whole property in one visit.
Fair, transparent pricing within two hours. Serving all of McKinney and Collin County.
