Trees in Harlingen: what to know
- The strongest gusts in Hanna. Harlingen recorded a 63 mph gust during Hurricane Hanna in July 2020, higher than McAllen or Edinburg, and some gauges in the area measured about 12 inches of rain. Across the Valley, hundreds of trees were snapped or uprooted.
- Get ahead of hurricane season. The season runs from June 1 to November 30. Trimming dead wood and checking big trees near the house in spring usually costs less than an emergency call in the middle of the season.

Harlingen tree service FAQ
Should I cut down a tree before hurricane season?
Only if it's dead, badly damaged or leaning toward the house. A pro can tell you whether trimming is enough. See getting trees ready for hurricane season.
What does palm trimming cost in Harlingen?
Cost surveys put most palm trimming between $125 and $800 per palm, depending mostly on height. Ask whether hauling the fronds is included.
My citrus tree looks sick. Can I move it to a relative's house?
Check first. Cameron and Hidalgo County are under a state citrus greening quarantine that restricts moving citrus trees. Ask the Texas Department of Agriculture or your county extension office before you move it.
