Safe, professional tree trimming, removals, stump grinding and emergency work from trained crews.
Austin trees live two different lives depending on which side of MoPac they're rooted in, and tree service in Austin has to account for both. Out east in Mueller and the black gumbo flats, live oaks and cedar elms sink roots into clay that swells and cracks with every wet-dry cycle, which stresses root systems in ways homeowners rarely see until a limb starts dying back. West toward the limestone shelf, thin rocky soil in Tarrytown and the Zilker hillsides forces trees to spread roots wide instead of deep, and that shallow structure is exactly what makes them vulnerable when summer winds pick up.
Circle C's newer lots and the tech campuses scattered through southwest Austin often have trees planted too close to foundations, retaining walls, or utility easements, and that's where crown shaping and careful removal planning earn their keep. We've cut back oak wilt-suspect limbs in older Tarrytown canopies, ground stumps out of Mueller yards being re-landscaped, and cleared storm-snapped cedar elms after a Hill Country squall rolled through. The work changes street to street.
Corral Bros is family-run out of Maxwell, and we send the same crew leaders back to a property so they know its trees, not just its address. Estimates are free, on-site, and usually scheduled within 48 hours, and we carry the license and insurance to work near power lines and tight urban lots without cutting corners.
We walk your Austin property and assess the site.
An itemized estimate with no surprises.
Tidy local crews and modern equipment.
Results made for Travis County, plus optional upkeep.
We also provide tree service in these nearby communities:
Late winter dormancy (December to January) is the best time to trim most Central Texas trees, since cuts heal fast before spring growth. The key exception is oaks: avoid pruning oaks from February through June to prevent oak wilt, and paint every oak cut immediately, year-round.
Oak wilt is a deadly fungal disease that spreads through Central Texas oaks, often via beetles attracted to fresh cuts. Prevention is simple: do not prune oaks February through June, and paint all oak wounds with pruning sealer immediately in every season. Our crews follow these protocols on every job.
It depends on the tree's size, location, and whether power lines or structures are close by, so we do not quote blind. Corral Bros offers a free, no-obligation on-site estimate, usually scheduled within 48 hours, so you get a real number based on your Austin property instead of a rough guess.
Yes. Trees rooted in the black gumbo clay east of MoPac deal with soil that swells and shrinks, which can stress roots over time, while limestone-shelf soil west toward Zilker and Tarrytown pushes roots to spread shallow and wide. Both patterns change how we approach trimming, stump grinding, and root cleanup on a given lot.
We do, and it's some of the most time-sensitive work we take on. Corral Bros runs emergency tree crews for snapped limbs, split trunks, and leaning trees after storms move through Austin, with priority given to anything threatening a roof, fence, or power line.
Our crews do health assessments as part of routine visits and flag signs of oak wilt, decay, or dieback, which shows up often in Tarrytown and other mature-canopy neighborhoods. Catching it early usually means selective pruning instead of losing the whole tree, so we will walk you through what we see.
That is a big part of the job in dense Austin neighborhoods. Corral Bros is licensed and insured for work near utility lines, and our crews plan removals and canopy shaping around tight setbacks, fences, and structures common on Mueller and Circle C lots.
Yes, stump grinding and root cleanup are standard parts of our removal jobs, not an upsell. We grind stumps down below grade so you can replant or landscape over the spot, and we clear surface roots that heave sidewalks or interfere with new plantings.
