Tree Service in Southwest Austin

Southwest Austin is home base — our crews stage minutes from the Y at Oak Hill, which is why 78735 through 78749 get our fastest quotes and first-morning slots. The tree stock here spans two worlds: genuinely old live oaks and post oaks in Oak Hill and Travis Country that predate the neighborhoods around them, and the fast-planted canopies of Circle C, Legend Oaks, and Western Oaks now hitting the size where DIY trimming stops being safe.

Between the Barton Creek Greenbelt fingers, the wildflower center's influence on what people plant, and Austin's tree ordinance, southwest Austin work rewards a crew that actually knows the area — and we live in it.

Austin's tree rules, and the greenbelt effect

Inside Austin city limits, trees measuring 19 inches in diameter and up are protected — removal needs a city permit — and heritage species at 24 inches and up face a higher bar. A lot of southwest Austin's best trees qualify. The good news: dead, diseased, and genuinely hazardous trees are permittable, and pruning done to standard doesn't need one. We measure, document, and tell you honestly which side of the line your tree sits on before quoting.

Homes backing the Barton Creek Greenbelt and its tributaries get a special mix: gorgeous mature canopy, plus deadfall risk over fences, oak wilt pressure moving along the creek corridors, and the occasional greenbelt cedar throwing embers-worth of fuel against a back fence. Greenbelt-edge cleanups — deadwood out, cedar thinned, oaks preserved — are one of our most-requested southwest Austin jobs.
