Stump Grinding
Stump grinding 6–12 inches below grade with full cleanup — narrow-gate machines for hillside backyards, bigger iron for acreage.

Storm damage response around the clock: oaks on roofs, blocked canyon roads, hanging limbs over power lines. Insurance-claim documentation included.
Priority dispatch — quoted on arrival

Selective Ashe juniper (cedar) clearing, wildfire defensible space, fence lines, and building pads — keep the oaks, lose the cedar, on lots from half an acre to ranchland.
$1,500 – $6,500+ per acre
Local Trees, Local Knowledge
Working trees west of Austin means working around oak wilt — this corridor from Hays County through western Travis is one of the most active zones in Texas, and the root-grafted live oak stands that make these neighborhoods worth their price are exactly how it spreads. It means knowing that most lots sit on thin limestone where root plates run wide and shallow, and that a storm crossing Lake Travis hits the ridgelines with nothing to slow it down.
It also means respecting what makes this terrain different: juniper canyons that carry real wildfire fuel, septic fields you cannot drive a chipper over, terraced lots where everything comes down on ropes, and tree ordinances — Austin, West Lake Hills, Rollingwood, Lakeway — with real teeth. When limbs come down from Circle C to Rough Hollow, our phones stay on all night.

“They removed a storm-split Spanish oak leaning over our roof in Belterra the same day we called. Cleaned up like they were never here.”

★★★★★
“Fair quote on trimming two big live oaks on our Rough Hollow hillside, and they actually knew the oak wilt pruning rules. Painted every cut.”

★★★★☆
“Cleared the cedar off our back slope in Circle C for defensible space and left every oak standing. Would have liked an earlier arrival window, but great work.”

Frequently Asked Questions
What areas do you serve?
Southwest Austin is home base, with full service across Dripping Springs, Driftwood, Lakeway, Bee Cave, and West Lake Hills — the whole southwest arc of the metro along US-290, SH-71, and RM 620.
Are quotes really free?
Yes — free, written, and itemized, with no pressure. Most Southwest Austin and Dripping Springs quotes happen same day; photo quotes for stumps and small trims often come back within the hour.
Are you insured?
Fully insured for tree work, including liability and workers' comp. Certificates available with every quote — never let anyone climb a tree on your property without one.
Do you handle oak wilt correctly?
Always: no oak pruning February–June except emergencies, every cut painted immediately, tools sterilized between properties. This corridor is one of the most active oak wilt zones in Texas, and we work like it.
Do you know the local tree ordinances?
Yes — Austin protects trees 19 inches and up, and West Lake Hills, Rollingwood, and Lakeway run their own (often stricter) rules. We identify which rules govern your tree before quoting a removal, and handle the documentation.
Storm damage? Leaning oak? We answer 24/7 across Dripping Springs and neighboring suburbs.
