Inwood ForestShort answer
Inwood Forest has many roads with esplanades and mature trees, and many of its original houses were built for oil company executives. Mature canopy over established lots is the job. We thin and raise limbs over roofs and drives, remove trees in decline, and clear storm wood when wind brings limbs down.
Local conditions
Mature trees, the old golf course and drainage
For about 100 years until 1963, the land that became Inwood Forest was owned by the Fuchs family. It sits about three-quarters of a mile west of historic Acres Homes. Many original houses were built for oil company executives, and one street of custom houses has large landscaped lots. With esplanades and mature trees along many roads, trimming here is about clearance: crown thinning and raising over roofs and driveways.
The Inwood Forest Country Club closed in 2007, and in 2011 the City of Houston bought the former golf course for passive recreation and to improve drainage. Drainage matters to trees. One resident said around three-fourths of the houses in her neighborhood flooded during Tropical Storm Allison, and soaked ground loosens shallow roots. A tree that tips at night after a long rain is a job for emergency removal.
After Beryl, CenterPoint said most of the damage came from vegetation outside its rights of way. Yard trees often stand outside those rights of way, so limbs over your own service drop are worth trimming back from the line before storm season.

An esplanade is a median, which the City of Houston treats as city property. Trimming or removing a tree there takes a city permit, posted 20 days before the work. Trees on your own lot can be booked with us directly.
Long, heavy limbs sometimes fail on hot, still afternoons, and decay at the union makes it more likely. We check the rest of the crown for limbs built the same way and shorten them before they fail too.
It can be. If the lean is new and the soil is heaving or cracked at the base, keep people clear and call any hour. A tree that tips once in soft ground often finishes falling in the next wind.
Yes, around the service drop to your house, sometimes after CenterPoint disconnects the line for the work. Lines on the poles along the street are the utility's to clear, and CenterPoint handles those.
