We’ve done work in Pilot Point, up US 377 north of Aubrey.
Pilot Point is named for its spot on top of a ridge that could be seen from a distance. A grove of oak trees with one tall cottonwood in the center was used as a landmark by Indians, Texas Rangers, scouts and early settlers.
Dripping Springs, just north of the hill, drew settlers as early as 1845. James Pierson laid off the town plat on February 11, 1854, and the post office opened in 1855, with general store owner James D. Walcott as postmaster. The Texas and Pacific Railway arrived in 1880, and by 1890 Pilot Point had 1,090 people. Emil and Joseph Flusche encouraged German Catholic families to settle here, and St. Thomas Catholic Church held its first mass on November 4, 1891. The town sits at US 377 and Farm Road 455, eighteen miles north of Denton.

We inspect the whole tree, root flare included, before we recommend anything, and we’ll tell you when a tree doesn’t need work yet. The right work, done right.
EMERALD ASH BORER. It’s confirmed in Denton County. As of June 2026, Texas A&M Forest Service lists forty confirmed Texas counties, and Denton is one of them. The Forest Service says infested trees die within two to five years. If you have an ash tree in Pilot Point, that’s worth knowing now rather than later. Usually the first sign is the top of the canopy thinning out, then shoots coming out low on the trunk. Whether an ash is worth protecting, and what that would take, is a conversation to have standing in front of the tree, not over the phone. Walking your ash and telling you which one you have costs you nothing.

Reviews from clients across our North Texas service area.
“Knowledgeable, skilled, kind and respectful.”

Called out Greg and the team for a smooth, professional process and competitive pricing.
Six standards, on every job in Pilot Point, whether it is one limb or a full removal.
Safety is not optional on an Arborwise™ job. Required PPE, proper rigging, controlled cuts, and a crew that speaks up the moment something looks unsafe. No job is worth someone getting hurt.
Doing it right sometimes takes longer. We do not rush an unsafe cut, skip PPE, or leave a bad cleanup because it is faster. Good tree work is deliberate.
Every yard belongs to someone who trusted us to be there. We protect your driveway, your landscaping, and your trees with the right cuts and the right decisions, not just the fastest ones.
We keep our equipment maintained, our loads secure, and we pick up the small sticks most crews leave behind. We leave every property better than we found it.
Arborwise™ is a crew, not a collection of individuals. We communicate, watch for hazards, and speak up for one another on every single job.
The Arborwise™ Way is not always the fastest way. It is the right way, even when it takes longer, and even when nobody is watching.
Pilot Point is in our service area, and when you call we will tell you honestly where you stand on the schedule.
Estimates are free, wherever you are in our service area. Drive time is one of the things that goes into pricing any job, so it is already accounted for in the number we hand you rather than added on afterward. And that number is the price. Since 2019 we have never charged a customer more than we quoted.
