AtascocitaShort answer
Atascocita borders the 12,000-acre Lake Houston on its eastern side, about 6 miles east of Humble. Construction began there in the 1970s, and the high school went up on a heavily wooded 100-acre parcel in the center of the community. Wooded lots mean tall trees close to roofs, so removals and limb clearance lead the work.
Local conditions
Built into the woods on Lake Houston's west shore
The name traces to the Atascocito military outpost and the road the Spanish built in 1756, a route American migrants used heavily in the 1820s and 1830s. Modern Atascocita is younger. Construction began in the 1970s. By the 1990s the area had fifteen neighborhoods and ranked among the fastest-growing developments in Greater Houston, with master-planned communities such as Eagle Springs and Walden on Lake Houston.
Much of it went into woods. When Atascocita High School was built, its 100-acre site was a heavily wooded parcel in the middle of the community. Lots carved from land like that often keep tall trees near the house, and decades later those trees overhang roofs and gutters. Cutting limbs back from the roofline keeps them off shingles and out of valleys. When a tree stands too close or grows too weak, a sectioned removal takes it down without a free drop.
Lots on the lake's west shore also face wind across open water. Beryl in July 2024 cut power to about 2.26 million CenterPoint customers across the region, and after a storm like that, clearing broken limbs and downed trees comes first.

Far enough that wind cannot swing them onto the shingles and leaves stop piling in the valleys. We cut back to a side branch or the trunk, never a stub, so the tree does not push a thicket of new shoots toward the house.
Yes. A slope changes how wood is lowered and where the chipper sits, so we rope sections down and carry brush uphill when needed. We plan the drop zone so nothing rolls toward the water or a neighbor's dock.
Often, if it is sound. A healthy tree with a good root flare and no major cracks can stay with clearance pruning. A tree with decay, a fresh lean or heavy dieback over the house is usually safer taken down in sections.
Stay clear of any wires, keep people away from hung limbs, and take photos for your records. Then call us. We clear access first, then cut up and haul the rest once the area is safe to work.
