What Changes the Work in Old Preston Hollow
Creeks and big trees are a big part of this area. The ground rolls, and Bachman Creek runs north to south across the west side. A smaller stream, Browning Branch, crosses Inwood Road and flows into it. The City of Dallas maps a 100-year floodplain along both. Older homes and newer estates stand near each other. Big trees, long fence lines, low ground near the creek, and older houses shape the work we quote here.

Work We Quote Here
How the land, the trees, and the older homes change each job.
Trimming Tall Shade Trees
Old trees reach over roofs, drives, and lawns. We cut deadwood and low limbs. For oaks, Texas A&M advises no routine pruning from February through June.
Tree Removal Near the Creek
Dallas bars removing or harming plants in a floodplain without city approval, though routine trimming is fine. Check the city map before you plan a removal.
Fences on Rolling Ground
Long fence lines can run over rolling ground. In the floodplain, a fence has to let water pass, for example with a one-foot gap at the bottom.
Remodeling Older Homes
Older homes may have dated kitchens, baths, and closets. We quote tile, carpentry, trim, built-ins, closets, and painting.
Yard Cleanup After Storms
Tall trees can drop heavy limbs in North Texas storms. Ask about damaged branch removal, storm damage tree removal and yard cleanup.
Outdoor Work Near Bachman Creek
Bachman Creek and Browning Branch cross Old Preston Hollow, and the City of Dallas maps a 100-year floodplain along both streams. If part of your yard sits in that zone, city floodplain rules cover the low ground, not just the house.
Dallas requires a permit before building, filling or digging in the floodplain. Fences there must meet rules that let floodwater pass. Ask Dallas which fence designs and approvals apply to your lot before choosing materials.
Before you plan outdoor work on a creek lot, check the city floodplain map and ask Dallas which approvals apply. Share what you find when you call, and we can talk through the fence, deck, or tree work from there.
- Routine trimming in the floodplain is fine. Removing trees or plants there needs city approval in advance.
- If the house is in the floodplain, Dallas must approve the work. It compares five years of improvements with the value of the existing buildings, not the land.
- Pergolas, sheds, and decks are simplest on higher ground outside the mapped zone.

Call (469) 340-2030Is my Old Preston Hollow lot in the floodplain?
It depends on where your lot sits. The City of Dallas maps a 100-year floodplain along Bachman Creek and Browning Branch, which cross the west side of Old Preston Hollow. Lots near those streams may have part of the yard in the zone. Check the city floodplain map and ask Dallas which approvals apply before you plan creek-side work. If the work falls in the zone, a city permit comes first.
Do I need a permit to take down a big tree on my lot?
Sometimes. Dallas requires a city permit to remove protected trees on lots of two acres or more, on lots where the house is being torn down, and in the parkway or alley. Which trees count as protected depends on species, size, lot use, and location. On creek lots, removing trees in the floodplain needs city approval no matter the lot size. Ask Dallas before removing a tree, especially near the creek.
Can I put a tall fence or gate along the street?
Dallas limits fences in the required front yard to 4 feet, and a taller one needs a special exception from the city's Board of Adjustment. Elsewhere on the lot, fences over 6 feet need a permit. On a creek lot, the floodplain rules can also change the fence type. Ask Dallas which height and material limits apply before planning the fence.
Do you remodel older homes in Old Preston Hollow?
Yes. We quote kitchen and bath remodels, tile, carpentry and trim, built-ins, closets, and interior painting for older homes. If there is old wood trim or a built-in you want to keep, tell us when you call.
Can you build an addition on a big lot here?
Yes. We handle home additions, framing, and whole-home rehabs. Tell us your lot size when you call. If the house sits inside the mapped floodplain, Dallas must approve the work first. It compares five years of improvements with the value of the existing structures, leaving out land, so ask the city how it values your project.
Was Old Preston Hollow ever its own town?
Yes. The Town of Preston Hollow formed in 1939 near Preston Road and Northwest Highway, and its voters chose to join Dallas in 1945. The first estates here were country places, some with horses and stables. The winding streets and large lots still show it.
