What we do
Live oak pruning
Structural and clearance pruning, done in the safe season. Every cut is painted before the saw goes back in its scabbard.
Oak wilt prevention and treatment
We diagnose it, trench to break the root grafts between trees, and inject fungicide into high-value oaks.
Hazardous removals
Dead and leaning trees over houses, fences and power drops. Rigged down in pieces.
Cedar clearing
Selective Ashe juniper removal. It opens the view and keeps the hardwoods and the topsoil.
Stump grinding
Ground below grade. Chips hauled off or left for mulch, your choice.
Storm cleanup
Broken tops, split limbs and hangers made safe and hauled off.
Tree health assessment
A certified arborist walks your property and gives you a written, sketched report of what each tree needs and what it does not.

Hatched in red: no oak pruning, February 1 to June 30, every year.
That is when the sap beetles that carry the oak wilt fungus are active. Nobody reputable in the Hill Country prunes a live oak in those months, and we will not either, even if you ask nicely.
The rest of the year, every cut on an oak gets painted immediately. Big limbs and little ones. Locals judge a tree company by whether it paints its cuts. Go ahead and judge.
What customers wrote
We lost two live oaks to oak wilt before we found her. She trenched between the sick trees and the big one by the house and injected it. Two years on it is still green. She also flat refused to prune in April, which I did not understand then and do now.
Marisol walked our four acres in Fair Oaks and drew every big oak in a little notebook. Her report told us which three trees needed work and which eleven we should leave alone. Another company had quoted us for all fourteen.
A dead Spanish oak was leaning over our roof in Bergheim. They brought it down in pieces on ropes and did not so much as crack a paver. Cleaner yard than when they arrived.
Painted every single cut, even the little ones. That is how you know.
