ISA certified arborists · San Antonio

The tree stays if the tree can stay

Pruning, removals, oak wilt care and storm work across Bexar County. An arborist walks the yard, tells you what each tree actually needs, and prices it before anyone starts a saw.

Fully insured · Oak wilt certified · Every branch leaves with us

Drag the handle

Three yards we worked this year. Pull the handle across to see what came down, what stayed, and what the yard looked like when we left.

The same yard cleared and mown, shaded by the trees left standing
Storm-split tree trunk with the torn leader and a heavy limb down across the front yard
Storm-split oak · Stone OakA leader tore out of the trunk in the May line storms and took the long limb down across the drive. Sectioned where it lay, brush chipped on site, the yard mown before we left.

Drag anywhere on the photo, or use the arrow keys. Every job gets photographed before the first cut and again once the last chip is off the drive.

What we do

Ranges below are what most San Antonio yards land on. The number you get is the number you pay, written down before we start.

Pruning and crown work

Crown lifts, weight reduction, deadwood out and clearance off the roof and the service drop. Cut to ANSI A300, never topped.

$450 to $1,400

Removals

Sectional takedowns in tight yards, crane picks when there is no drop zone. Stump grinding, cleanup and the last rake included.

$900 to $4,800

Oak wilt and tree health

Trenching, macro-infusion and deep root feeding, on a written plan you can actually read. Pruning paint on every cut, February to June.

$400 to $2,200

Storm and emergency

Limbs off roofs, cars and fences. Tarped, photographed and written up for your insurance adjuster before we leave.

Who climbs your tree

Certification is a person, not a logo. These are the three arborists who quote, treat and take down every job we run.

Nine years on removals. If a limb has to come over a pool or a roof, Marco sets the rigging.

Three jobs, written up plain

Mature live oaks with long spreading limbs shading a clipped lawnTerrell Hills · heritage live oak
Problem
Two companies quoted a full removal after a limb dropped on the garage.
What we did
Resistograph on the trunk, decay mapped, one leader reduced and a cable run to the second.
Result
Tree kept. Re-inspected each spring, no further loss in three years.
Crane lifting a cut trunk section clear of a back garden while a groundsman works the logs belowBoerne · oak wilt center
Problem
Red oaks browning from the top down along a shared fence line, spreading toward two live oaks.
What we did
Infected reds removed and chipped off site, trench cut to five feet, healthy oaks injected.
Result
Spread stopped at the trench line. Both live oaks leafed out clean.
Climber roped out along a limb above a brick roofline, taking the limb off in piecesSchertz · pecan over a pool
Problem
Sixty foot pecan dropping limbs into a pool with no crane access down the side yard.
What we did
Speed line rigging over the water, sections walked out through the house side, pool covered.
Result
Down in a day, pool swimmable that evening, no fence panel touched.

Neighbors, in their words

They saved a live oak two other companies wanted gone. Three years on it looks better than the rest of the street.Marisol · Alamo Heights
Storm limb off the roof by nine the next morning, photos in my inbox for the adjuster by lunch. Fair price, tidy yard.Greg · Converse
Dana walked the whole lot, marked two reds for removal and told me the other six were fine. First honest answer I got.Ellen · Boerne
Two companies quoted my pecan over the phone. Ruben measured it, walked the drop zone and left the price in writing that afternoon.Priya · Stone Oak
Stump ground, beds raked, every chip hauled off. They ran an hour late on the Friday and called to say so, which I appreciated.Curtis · Helotes

Free assessment, honest answer

An arborist walks your yard, points out what needs doing and what can wait, and leaves you a written price. If nothing needs cutting, that is what the report says.

  • Same day callback, walks booked within the week
  • Written scope and price, good for thirty days
  • Certificate of insurance sent before the crew arrives
  • Chips, logs and sawdust go with us unless you want them
How soon

No charge, no obligation, and we will tell you if a tree does not need the work.

Storm tonight? The line is answered

Emergency calls get a real arborist, not a call center. Tarps go on first, photos go to your insurer, cleanup follows in daylight.
