San Antonio & Hill Country Tree Service
Family-owned crew for power line tree removal, dangerous takedowns, and 24/7 storm response. The structurally weakened tree over your roof that other crews turned down or charged too high for. Professional arborist services adhering to ANSI standards, properly pruning and enhancing tree health on your property. Fully insured, working to the energy company's safety standards.
Most companies pass on the dangerous removals, the tree wedged between two power lines, the hollow-trunked oak leaning over a roof. That work is the core of what we do, roped and rigged, worked to the energy company's safety standards, your property protected first, fully insured the whole way.
One licensed, insured crew for all of it, from a seasonal trim to a power line removal three other companies already turned down.
Trees tangled in or touching electrical lines, the job that gets most crews to say no. We adhere to the energy company's standards to work safely on energized lines, rope and rig the removal under full control, and bring it down without nicking a line or your property. Fully insured for exactly this work.
The deadwood-heavy limb hanging over your roof, the hollow-trunked tree nobody else will touch. We take it down in pieces, protect the structures around it, and leave the property clean. Fully insured crew on every job.

Tree removal cost in San Antonio depends on the tree's height, trunk diameter, species, lean, and proximity to structures or power lines. Removals near electrical lines or over a roof cost more because they require specialized rigging and, when lines are involved, coordination with the utility. South Texas Tree Service gives a free, no-obligation estimate within 24 hours so you get an exact price for your specific tree.
Yes. Power line tree removal is our specialty and the work many other San Antonio crews decline. We safely remove trees within or near electrical lines and adhere to the energy company's standards when a line de-energization is required. Head arborist Cody Flores leads these removals and the crew is fully insured and trained for line-adjacent work.
We do. When a removal requires the power line to be temporarily de-energized or dropped, South Texas Tree Service adheres to the energy company's standards and handles the scheduling on your behalf. The energy company is generally responsible for vegetation touching their primary lines, while trees touching the service drop to your home are the property owner's responsibility. We help you determine which applies before any work begins.
We are open 24/7, every day including weekends, and aim for same-day arrival on storm and emergency calls when possible. Every call reaches Kenna or Cody directly, so an emergency removal can be triaged immediately. We also provide insurance-friendly documentation for storm-damage claims.
Oak wilt is a serious threat to central Texas oaks and timing matters: avoid pruning oaks from February through June when the beetles that spread the fungus are most active. The safest windows are the coldest part of winter and the hottest part of summer. If you suspect oak wilt, we diagnose it early and advise on trenching and treatment to protect neighboring trees.
On most private residential lots in San Antonio, removing a tree on your own property does not require a city permit, but tree-preservation rules can apply on larger lots, new development, and certain protected trees. Rules differ in Hill Country jurisdictions such as Boerne and New Braunfels. We check the requirements for your address as part of the free estimate.
South Texas Tree Service is fully insured and trained for dangerous and line-adjacent removals. We carry the coverage that protects both our crew and your property, and we provide proof of insurance on request before work starts.
We serve San Antonio and the Texas Hill Country, including Bulverde, Spring Branch, Canyon Lake, New Braunfels, Boerne, Fair Oaks Ranch, Helotes, Stone Oak, Schertz, and Converse.
In Texas, when a neighbor's tree branches hang over the property line onto your side, you generally have the right to trim or remove the overhanging portion back to the line, at your own cost, without your neighbor's permission. The work has to stay on your side and should not harm the health of the tree. To keep things neighborly, South Texas Tree Service is happy to talk to your neighbor on your behalf and handle the overhanging limbs cleanly. This is general guidance, not legal advice; we check the specifics of your situation during the free estimate.
