Yard-Friendly, Every Time

Residential work is about respect as much as skill. We lay down protection, keep gates and irrigation intact, rig limbs down instead of dropping them on your beds, and rake the site clean before we leave. When we're done, the only sign we were there is the work you asked for.

What Affects the Price

We don't post one-size-fits-all prices, because no two trees are the same. Every job is quoted in writing after we see it. These are the factors that move the number up or down:

  • Number and size of trees
  • Mix of services (trim, remove, grind, treat)
  • Yard access and property-protection needs
  • Debris volume and haul-away

Residential Tree Service FAQs

When is the best time to schedule preventive tree pruning in San Antonio?
Schedule preventive pruning ahead of severe-weather seasons, with timing based on species, condition, structure, and current oak-wilt guidance. Avoid unnecessary live-oak pruning between February 1 and July 1. Demand peaks in spring, so booking in fall or winter usually means faster scheduling.
Does San Antonio require a Tree Maintenance License for tree contractors?
Yes. San Antonio requires a city Tree Maintenance License for businesses that prune, treat, or remove trees inside city limits. City materials specify at least $300,000 in general liability insurance, and the fee schedule lists a $165 fee, renewal every 3 years, and 4 hours of continuing education. Always ask for the exact license number and current insurance certificate before you sign.
Do I need HOA approval to remove a tree?
Many San Antonio HOAs require approval to remove trees visible from the street, and some require a replacement. Check your covenants or ask your HOA before scheduling a removal; a written assessment of the tree's condition can support your request.
Should I plant a new tree after a removal?
In most yards, yes. Choose a species suited to San Antonio's soils and heat, plant it away from the foundation and overhead lines, and plant in the cool season — roughly October through February — so roots establish before summer.
Do I need to be home during tree work?
Usually not. We need gate access, pets kept inside, and vehicles moved out of the work zone. We go over the scope with you beforehand, in person or by phone, and send photos when the work is done if you're away.
