Lakehills is about 45 minutes from our base, northwest toward Medina Lake.

Lakehills sits on the hills around Medina Lake, where cedar crowds the oaks and blocks the water views. Lake levels swing a lot with drought, and shoreline trees often lean or die as conditions change.

Tree Care Built for Lakehills

Lakefront and hillside lots here are heavy with Ashe juniper crowding out the oaks and blocking lake views. Cedar clearing, view corridors, and removal of dead or leaning lakeside trees are the defining work.

We Know Lakehills

We work throughout Lakehills and around local landmarks like Medina Lake, PR 37, Red Cove, and Bandera County line.

A Lakehills owner couldn't see Medina Lake for the cedar; we cleared the juniper down the slope, kept the oaks, and opened a clean water view from the deck.

Understanding Lakehills's Trees

Lakehills wraps around Medina Lake, and its lakefront and hillside lots are typically choked with Ashe juniper crowding out the oaks and blocking the water views. Clearing the cedar to reclaim both the view and usable space is the signature job, along with removing the dead and leaning trees that fluctuating lake levels leave behind on the banks. The steep, rocky shoreline lots make access and rigging more involved than a flat yard, and the thin soils mean cedar returns quickly — so view maintenance here is an ongoing relationship, not a one-time cut.

For most Lakehills properties, that points to a few core services: land & lot clearing, tree removal, and tree trimming & pruning.

Tree Care Tips for Lakehills Properties

  • Clear view corridors selectively

    Remove the cedar blocking your lake view and keep oaks that frame it.

  • Check shoreline trees when the lake drops or rises

    Big changes in lake level stress shoreline trees and can expose or drown roots.

  • Keep dead cedar away from homes

    Drought-killed cedar near houses is a serious fire hazard.

Tree Service FAQs — Lakehills, TX

Can you clear cedar to open a Medina Lake view?
Yes. We remove the juniper blocking your chosen sightline, thin rather than remove the oaks framing it, and leave roots and groundcover on slopes to prevent erosion. We walk the lot with you to agree on the view before any cutting.
Why are trees along the Medina Lake shore dying?
Medina Lake's level changes dramatically between drought and wet years. Trees that grew along one shoreline can be stranded high and dry or flooded when the lake returns, and both stress them. Dead or leaning shoreline trees near docks and homes should be assessed and removed if unsafe.
Will clearing cedar on my Lakehills lot help with cedar fever?
Ashe juniper releases pollen in winter, roughly December through February, and much of it blows in from miles away. Clearing dense cedar around the house won't eliminate cedar fever, but it removes the closest sources — and the same work improves fire safety and lake views.
Can you remove a leaning tree near a Lakehills dock?
Yes. We plan the removal so the tree comes down away from the dock and water, often in rigged sections, with access planned around the slope.
How do I protect oaks while clearing cedar in Lakehills?
Mark the oaks first, keep equipment off their root flares, and schedule oak-area work outside the February–June high-risk season when possible. Paint any accidental oak wound immediately.
