Tree Trimming in Austin | Licensed & Insured | ISA CERTIFIED ARBORIST

Austin short winters means that trees are actively growing for the majority of the year instead of northern climates. So tree trimming schedules are different here. Live oaks have a narrow window of tree trimming, late summer through mid winter. Because trimming during spring sap flow opens them up to oak wilt, which is serious and widespread problem in Austin. Our certified arborist knows exactly when certain trees should not be trimmed. Proper pruning techniques make the different between a tree that thrives, and one that fails.

In established neighborhoods like Hyde Park, Bouldin Creek, Tarrytown, and Clarksville, mature live oaks have been growing for decades — some for over a century. Their canopies stretch wide, their branches hang over rooftops, driveways, and fences, and their root systems run deep beneath sidewalks and foundations. Trimming these trees requires experienced climbers, proper rigging, and a methodical approach that protects both the tree and the surrounding property.
