Oak wilt is a serious fungal disease spread by sap beetles that are attracted to fresh pruning wounds between February and June. We strictly follow Hutto's recommended protocols — no live oak trimming during peak transmission season unless it's an emergency, and all wounds treated with pruning paint immediately after cutting. If you're scheduling routine trimming, we recommend November through January for your live oaks.
What We Offer
Removing dead, diseased, and crossing branches from the canopy. This is the most common trimming we perform in Hutto and makes a significant difference in both tree health and appearance.
Lifting the lower canopy to improve clearance over driveways, roofs, sidewalks, and sight lines. Common in Hutto neighborhoods where live oaks have grown over garages and front entries over the years.
Reducing the overall size of an overgrown canopy while maintaining the tree's natural shape. Used when a tree has grown into utility lines, a neighboring fence, or too close to a roofline.
Trimming branches that overhang or rub against your roof, gutters, or siding. This is one of the most important services we offer in Hutto — overhanging limbs are a leading cause of roof damage during storms.
Opening up a view or increasing light to the yard by selectively thinning the canopy. Common in properties near Hutto's newer greenbelt and trail corridors.
Species
Hutto's most common shade tree. Requires careful trimming to avoid spreading oak wilt. We never trim live oaks between February and June.
Hardy and drought-tolerant, but prone to weak branch attachments that need regular attention.
Fast-growing and can quickly overtop rooflines in newer Hutto subdivisions. Often needs annual trimming.
Large canopy spread needs management on smaller lots. Deadwood removal improves nut production.
Often cleared from properties, but when kept, needs regular shaping.
A common ornamental in Hutto. We practice proper pruning — no "crape murder" topping cuts.
The ideal time to trim most trees in Hutto is late fall through early winter (November–February) when trees are dormant. This minimizes stress on the tree and reduces the risk of pest and disease issues.
The one important exception is live oaks — avoid trimming them between February and June to prevent oak wilt, a serious fungal disease spread by sap beetles during the spring months.
We trim trees year-round for safety reasons (storm damage, hazardous limbs) but will always advise you on optimal timing during your free estimate.

FAQ
Trimming costs vary based on tree size, species, the amount of work needed, and how many trees are being trimmed in one visit. Trimming multiple trees in a single visit typically reduces the per-tree cost. Call (737) 703-4886 for a free on-site estimate — we’ll walk your property and give you an exact number before any work begins.
Most trees in Hutto benefit from trimming every 2–3 years. Fast-growing species like sycamore may need annual attention. Live oaks and cedar elms that are well-established can often go 3–5 years between trimmings if they’re healthy.
Yes — significantly. Thinning the canopy reduces wind resistance, and removing dead or weak branches eliminates the limbs most likely to break and fall during a storm. Hutto’s spring thunderstorm season makes this especially relevant.
Yes, always. We chip or haul away all branches and leave your property clean. This is included in every job — we never leave brush piles behind.
