Tree service in Wimberley

Cypress on the creek, cedar on the hills, and roads a chipper has to fit down.

The cypress are the reason people live here

Cypress Creek and the Blanco are lined with bald cypress, and they are the character of the whole valley. They are also the trees people worry most about touching, and they are right to.

A cypress that has lost a leader, is hanging over a roof or has taken flood damage at the base needs looking at by someone who is going to take out what is dead and leave the rest alone. Most of the cypress work here is removal of failed wood and clearance — not shaping, and not thinning a healthy tree for the sake of it.

Flood wood is still coming out of these properties

The Blanco has a long memory. Properties along the river still carry trees that were undercut, leaned or part-buried by high water, and some of them have been quietly dying at the root since.

A leaning riverside tree is a judgement call, not a formula. Some are stable and are simply leaning. Some are holding the bank and should stay. Some have lost the root plate on the water side and are a genuine hazard. We will tell you which one you have got.

Cedar on the hills, same as everywhere else up here

Off the water it is the standard Hill Country picture: Ashe juniper filling in, live oak losing ground, and fuel building against buildings. Clearing here is about giving the house a gap and the oaks some room, and about keeping a narrow drive passable.

Narrow roads decide the day

A lot of Wimberley is reached by one-lane low-water crossings and drives that were built for a car, not a chipper and a dump trailer. It is worth mentioning when you call. It does not stop the job — it just changes what comes out on the truck, and knowing in advance is the difference between one trip and two.

Questions

Wimberley, answered.

Will you take out a leaning cypress on the river?

Only if it needs it. A lean on its own is not a reason — plenty of riverside cypress have leaned for decades and are holding the bank. What matters is whether the root plate has gone on the water side. We look before we quote a removal.

Can you get down my drive?

Usually. Tell us the tightest point and whether there is a low-water crossing on the way in, and we will bring gear that fits rather than turning around at your gate.

Do you do cedar clearing by the acre?

Yes, and around Wimberley it is most of what we clear. We agree on what stays before anything starts — mature live oak and anything worth keeping gets marked first.

How fast can you come out after a storm?

Anything on a house, a drive or a power drop goes to the front of the list. We will tell you honestly where you are in the queue rather than promising an hour we cannot hit.
