Why Local Expertise Matters

Oak Wilt Prevention & Heritage Tree Rules

Travis County's live oaks and post oaks are treasured, but oak wilt spreads fast when trees are pruned during warm months. Heritage Tree ordinances require permits for removal of trees 19+ inches wide in Austin proper.

We prune oaks safely between July and January, paint all cuts immediately, and sanitize tools between trees. This simple discipline prevents costly wilt infections that can kill an oak in months.

Permits & Compliance

City of Austin, HOA rules, and critical environmental feature restrictions vary by neighborhood. We research your property's rules before recommending work and handle all paperwork so you avoid fines.

Storm Readiness & Property Value

Spring and early summer bring heavy thunderstorms and straight-line winds to the Austin area. Removing weak limbs and thinning crowns before storm season prevents emergency calls and protects your home's structure and roof.

From lakeside estates in Lakeway to urban properties in South Austin, from Cedar Park to South Congress, our crew serves every corner of Travis County. Whether you're in a Zilker historic district with strict tree rules or a rural Hill Country lot with multiple acres, we understand local conditions and regulations.

Properties near Lady Bird Lake, Barton Springs, and the Balcones Canyonlands face unique challenges—seepage, slope stability, and protected species concerns. We navigate these carefully.

Featured Snippet: What Is Oak Wilt and How Do You Prevent It?

Oak wilt is a fungal disease spread by bark beetles when oak trees are pruned or wounded during warm months (February through August). To prevent it:

  1. Prune oak trees only between July and January.
  2. Paint all cuts on oak trees immediately—ideally within 30 minutes.
  3. Sanitize pruning tools with disinfectant between trees.
  4. Avoid wounding trees during high-risk months when sap flow is active.
  5. Plant resistant species like cedar elm and Monterey oak in high-risk areas.

Professional arborists follow all five steps to protect your trees and your neighbors' trees from this devastating disease.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a tree permit in Travis County?

In Austin city limits, permits are required for removing or significantly damaging Heritage Trees (19+ inches diameter). Outside city limits, rules vary by jurisdiction. We determine what's needed and handle all applications.

When can I trim my oak trees?

July through January is safest for oak trimming across Travis County. Emergency storm damage is an exception but must be painted and sealed immediately to prevent wilt infection.

What tree species are native to Travis County?

Live oak, post oak, cedar elm, Texas ash, and pecan thrive in Central Texas. We preserve and prune these species carefully while removing non-native invasives like Chinaberry and glossy privet.

How quickly can you respond to a downed tree?

We dispatch crews within hours of your call during business hours. For true emergencies threatening property or people, call immediately—we handle urgent situations across Travis County.

What happens if my tree falls on a neighbor's property?

Usually, the neighbor's homeowner's insurance covers storm damage. If the tree was known to be dead or diseased (negligence), liability may differ. Document the situation with photos and exchange insurance information immediately.
