Safe, professional tree trimming, removals, stump grinding and emergency work from trained crews.
Tree service in Lakeway means working with limestone, not against it. Out here above Lake Travis, root systems spread sideways instead of down, hunting for cracks in the caliche to grab hold of. That shallow anchoring is exactly why a live oak that looks solid from the golf cart path can shift after a hard rain, and why crews who don't know this ground can misjudge which trees are actually stable. We've cut and cleared this rock long enough to read it.
In The Hills and Rough Hollow, big canopy trees are doing double duty as privacy screens and shade for outdoor kitchens, so trimming has to balance safety with keeping that view worth the price of admission. Down toward Flintrock and the lake bluffs, cedar and oak grow at odd angles chasing sunlight around the slope, which means storm damage tends to hit unevenly, some yards untouched, the next one down with a split limb hanging over the driveway.
Corral Bros sends a real assessment, not a sales pitch, walks the property with you, and explains what a tree needs versus what it doesn't. Estimates are usually on your calendar within 48 hours, and every crew carries the insurance a hillside lake property deserves.

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.
Cost depends on the tree's size, how close it sits to a structure, dock, or power line, and whether stump grinding is included. Steep lots in The Hills or Rough Hollow can add rigging time too. Corral Bros gives a free, no-obligation on-site estimate so you get real numbers for your specific tree, not a phone guess.
The limestone base near Lake Travis limits how deep roots can grow, so trees anchor more by spreading wide than digging down. Add a slope and heavy spring rain, and a tree that looked fine can shift or drop limbs suddenly. We check root flare and lean angle on every Lakeway estimate before recommending trimming versus removal.
Yes. Lake-effect storms move through fast and hit unevenly across Lakeway, sometimes one street gets hammered while the next is fine. Corral Bros responds to downed limbs, split trunks, and trees leaning on fences or roofs, and we prioritize anything threatening power lines or blocking a driveway.
Not if it is done right. We shape canopies to open sightlines toward Lake Travis without stripping the shade and privacy that make properties in Rough Hollow and Flintrock feel secluded. Crown thinning removes the right interior limbs so the tree still looks full from the patio.
We look at root stability, deadwood percentage, lean direction, and proximity to your house or the slope edge. A lot of Lakeway oaks just need crown thinning and deadwood cleared out. Corral Bros will tell you honestly when a tree can be saved and when removal is the safer call.
Yes, stump grinding and root cleanup are part of our standard removal work. On limestone lots this can take extra passes since roots often run shallow and wide rather than straight down, but we grind low enough that you can replant or landscape over the spot without a mound left behind.
