When a tree dies, suffers split trunks in a storm, or threatens structural foundations, removal becomes necessary. JK Seriously provides tree removal services for residential yards across San Antonio, Austin, New Braunfels, and Central Texas. We plan every drop carefully, dismantle heavy sections using controlled rigging, and haul away all wood and brush.
Both San Antonio and Austin enforce tree preservation rules. In Austin, trees with a trunk diameter of nineteen inches or greater measured four and a half feet from the ground are classified as protected. San Antonio also requires permits for heritage trees in certain zones. Our team reviews tree sizes and guides homeowners on local permit exemptions for dead or hazardous trees before work begins.
Key Takeaway: Dead or imminently hazardous trees generally qualify for expedited safety removal permits.
We inspect surrounding structures, fences, and overhead hazards to determine the safest dismantling approach.
We remove lower and outer branches first, lowering heavy pieces on ropes to protect your lawn.
The main trunk is cut into manageable rounds, working downward safely to stump level.
All heavy logs and chipped branches are loaded onto our trucks, and the ground is swept clean.
Small tree removals start at $450. Large residential trees requiring complex lowering and rigging typically range from $800 to $2,200.
Permit requirements depend on city ordinances and trunk diameter. Dead or hazardous trees generally qualify for straightforward permit exemptions, and we help you check local guidelines.
We use controlled rigging ropes to lower heavy limbs one by one, keeping falling timber off fences, sprinkler heads, and grass.
Stump grinding is an optional add-on service. We can grind the remaining stump 6 to 12 inches below grade during the same visit.
Branches are chipped on-site, and heavy trunk sections are hauled away. If you want firewood left behind, we can cut rounds to your desired size.
Oak wilt wood must be processed carefully. We remove infected red oaks promptly and handle wood disposal to stop fungal spore mats from spreading.
