Everything Your Yard's Trees Need

Most homeowners don't want to juggle three companies. We handle the whole property:

  • Trimming & pruning: Roof clearance, deadwood, thinning, and structural pruning done right.
  • Tree removal: Safe removal of dead, dangerous, or unwanted trees, with cleanup.
  • Stump grinding: Grinding stumps below grade so you can reclaim the space.
  • Health care: Diagnosis and treatment for stressed and diseased trees.

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

How much does tree service cost in San Antonio?
Published local ranges place smaller pruning around $75–$300 per tree, stump grinding around $100–$600, simpler emergency cleanup around $300–$800 or more, large mature-tree removal around $3,500–$12,000, and crane removal around $4,000–$18,000. Height, access, utilities, rigging, haul-away, stump work, nearby structures, and cleanup all change the scope, so we quote every job in writing after we see it.
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.
Can I prune a live oak between February 1 and July 1?
Avoid unnecessary live-oak pruning between February 1 and July 1 because of oak-wilt risk — fresh wounds during that window can attract the sap-feeding beetles that spread the disease. An active hazard can still require professional action any time of year. When we must cut during the risk window, we paint every wound immediately and explain why each cut is necessary.
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.
What standards should a professional tree crew follow?
A professional crew should be able to explain ANSI A300 tree-care practices, ANSI Z133 arboricultural safety, and OSHA procedures for chainsaws, climbing, falling objects, chippers, and energized lines. Verify the city's Tree Maintenance License, current insurance, and any ISA Certified Arborist or Certified Tree Worker credentials before hiring.
