Shavano Park is about 25 minutes from our base, off NW Military Highway.
Shavano Park's large, wooded lots are a mix of live oak, Texas red oak, and cedar, with plenty of deer moving through. Owners want the woods kept but managed — cedar thinned, oaks protected, and dead material cleared away from the house.

We Know Shavano Park
We work throughout Shavano Park and around local landmarks like NW Military Highway, Lockhill-Selma Road, Salado Creek, and Bentley Manor.
On a Shavano Park estate we cut a defensible-space break through heavy cedar around the home while flagging and preserving every mature oak — fire safety without a stripped-looking lot.
Understanding Shavano Park's Trees
Shavano Park's wooded acreage estates flip the usual priorities: owners want the woods kept, just managed. That means selective cedar thinning for fire safety and water, defensible-space breaks around the home, and estate-grade oak care — not clearing. The rolling lots off NW Military and Lockhill-Selma drain toward Salado Creek, and the dense oak-and-cedar mix creates the exact conditions oak wilt exploits, so we thin junipers in the cool season and protect the hardwoods. Larger removals here often need a crane given tight access between homes and mature stands.
For most Shavano Park properties, that points to a few core services: land & lot clearing, oak wilt treatment & prevention, and tree health care.

Tree Care Tips for Shavano Park Properties
Cage young trees from deer
Deer browse and rub young trees hard here. A sturdy cage around new plantings for the first few years makes the difference.
Handle red oaks with extra care
Texas red oaks are highly susceptible to oak wilt and can produce spore mats when infected. Report fast-browning red oaks right away.
Keep a defensible zone
Clear dead brush and ladder fuels near structures, and keep lower limbs lifted so fire can't climb into the canopy.
