Tree removal, trimming and clearing across the Hill Country
The crew that takes the tree over your roof
Plenty of outfits will trim a hedge and clear a fence line. Far fewer will rig a forty-inch live oak down over a roof, a deck, or a powerline without touching any of them. That is the work we built this company around, and it is why other tree companies in the Hill Country call us with their overflow. The business is owner led, the crew is $1M liability insured, and you get one person accountable from the estimate through the final cleanup.
How a job works, in three steps
Send us the tree
Call or text a photo. Most of the time we can get a general idea of what is involved and whether an on-site assessment is needed.
On-site estimate
We walk the property, check access, rigging points and what is underneath, then give you a written price for the work described in it.
The work and the cleanup
The crew does the job, chips the brush, and leaves the site clean. You see the property back the way it should look before we go.
Owner-led, and on site for the hard ones
Santos Bonilla is an ISA Certified Arborist, he started Wimberley Tree Service after four years working under one, and he still climbs. That matters more than it sounds: the person quoting your job is the person who has to rig it, so the estimate reflects what the tree actually needs rather than what is easy to sell. The company works across Wimberley, Dripping Springs, San Marcos and the surrounding Hill Country, and holds membership in both the Wimberley and Dripping Springs Chambers of Commerce.

Cedar clearing and pasture recovery
Cedar takes a Hill Country pasture back faster than most owners expect. We clear it selectively, protect the mature oaks worth keeping, and open the land back up for grazing, fence lines and access.

Read Our ReviewsCommon questions about tree service in Wimberley
Straight answers, including what actually drives the price.
How much does tree removal cost in the Hill Country?
Estimates are free, and price comes down to four things: the size of the tree, how close it is to a structure, whether a truck can reach it, and what happens to the wood afterward. A large oak leaning over a roof on a steep limestone lot needs rigging and takes far longer than the same tree standing alone in a pasture, and that gap is most of the difference between one quote and another. We will tell you which of those factors is driving your number.
When can oak trees be trimmed in Texas?
Oak wilt is carried by sap-feeding beetles that are drawn to fresh cuts, and they are most active in spring. The control that matters is procedure rather than the date. Every oak cut we make is painted straight away, tools are cleaned between trees, and oak brush is chipped rather than stacked. We take oak work year round on that basis, including deadwood, hazardous limbs and storm-broken oaks whenever they happen.
What might mean a tree is worth having looked at?
A lean that appeared recently, soil heaving or cracking on one side of the base, mushrooms or conks at the root flare, large dead limbs in the upper canopy, or a split where two trunks meet. On thin Hill Country soil over limestone, root plates are wide and shallow, so saturated ground plus wind takes down trees that looked completely sound. If several nearby oaks are declining together, that points to oak wilt rather than to one bad tree. None of those decides it alone. Whether a tree needs to come down depends on its condition at the base and in the canopy and on what sits underneath it, which takes someone on site to judge.
Do you handle emergencies and storm damage?
Yes. Fallen trees, limbs on a roof or across a drive, and anything hanging after a storm. Call rather than use the form for those, and describe what is touching what, because a limb resting on a power line is a different job from a limb resting on a fence.
Are you insured?
We carry $1,000,000 general liability insurance ($2,000,000 aggregate) through American Builders Insurance Company, and we will send the certificate before we start. Ask for the certificate before any crew climbs a tree on your property, from us or from anyone else, and read what is actually on it.
What happens to the wood and the brush?
Your choice. We chip on site and leave the mulch piled where you want it, or we haul everything away. Chip is genuinely useful two to four inches deep over a root zone if you want to move it out, though spreading it is not part of the price. On oak jobs during the risk season the brush is chipped or removed rather than stacked, because cut oak wood can produce the fungal mats that start oak wilt spreading again.
Which areas do you cover?
Wimberley is home, and we work across Driftwood, Dripping Springs, San Marcos, Kyle, Buda, Blanco, Canyon Lake, Fischer, Spring Branch, New Braunfels, Bee Cave and into Austin. If you are near the edge of that, call and ask.
Do I need a permit to remove a tree?
It depends on where you are, and confirming it is the property owner’s call. Requirements vary by city and by tree, and your local planning department is the place to check. We will flag it if we think one is likely before the work is booked.
Got a tree that worries you?
Send a photo and we will tell you what we can from it, then come and look if it needs looking at. No charge for the estimate.
