Understanding South Austin / Manchaca's Trees
South Austin and Manchaca mark the outer edge of our range, and they come with Austin's aggressive tree protection — trees are generally protected from 19 inches in diameter, with heritage rules for certain species at 24 inches — far stricter than San Antonio's rules. That makes documentation and permit navigation the defining need here: knowing which trees are protected, documenting condition, and mapping a compliant path before an addition or removal. The area also still carries Winter Storm Uri's ice legacy in cracked oak unions. At 75–80 miles, this is our outer limit, served on a scheduled basis for the south side and Manchaca only.
For most South Austin / Manchaca properties, that points to a few core services: heritage tree care & permitting, tree trimming & pruning, and arborist consultations.
