Safe, professional tree trimming, removals, stump grinding and emergency work from trained crews.
Tree service in New Braunfels has to account for two very different growing conditions inside the same city limits: sandy riverfront ground near the Guadalupe and Comal, and thin, rocky Hill Country edge soil just a few miles out. Corral Bros Landscaping and Design works both sides of that line every week, from Gruene-area shade trees to acreage properties north and west of town.
That split matters more than most homeowners realize. Live oaks and cedar elms rooted in shallow caliche often develop different stress patterns than the cypress and pecans growing in loose river sand, and it changes how we approach trimming, root work, and removal. A tree that looks healthy in River Chase might have compacted roots fighting limestone six inches down, while a riverfront tree in Gruene deals with erosion and shifting sand around its base.
We handle the full range: canopy shaping, crown thinning, deadwood removal, stump grinding, storm cleanup, and planting new trees suited to your actual soil. Estimates are free, on-site, and usually scheduled within 48 hours, and every job is done by a locally owned, licensed and insured crew that treats your property like it matters, because in this town, it probably belongs to someone we know.

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.
Live oaks and cedar elms make up a lot of the canopy here, and both can hide deadwood or oak wilt symptoms until a limb comes down. Riverfront properties near Gruene often have cypress and pecan trees stressed by sandy, fast-draining soil. Corral Bros checks for these patterns during every estimate and flags problems before they become emergencies.
Shallow, rocky edge soils mean many trees here have wider, shallower root systems instead of deep taproots, which affects stability in storms and makes stump grinding trickier near foundations or septic lines. Our crews adjust equipment and technique based on whether a lot sits on caliche, limestone shelf, or river sand, so removals and root cleanup do not damage what is underneath.
Yes. Vintage Oaks and similar newer developments often have overhead service lines running close to mature shade trees planted along property edges. Our crews are trained to plan cuts and rigging around those lines, and we coordinate carefully on any job where a line is within reach of the canopy or a falling limb.
Cost depends on the tree's size, species, location, and whether power lines or structures are nearby, so we do not quote blind. Corral Bros offers free, no-obligation on-site estimates, usually scheduled within 48 hours, so you get a straight answer based on your actual property instead of a guess over the phone.
Stay clear of any leaning trees or limbs caught in power lines and call us before moving anything heavy yourself. Comal County storms can snap brittle deadwood fast, especially on older river-adjacent trees. Corral Bros handles emergency cleanup and can assess whether a damaged tree needs full removal or just corrective pruning.
Yes, and species selection matters a lot out here. What thrives in deep river sand near Gruene often struggles on thin limestone soil further up in acreage lots. We assess your specific ground during the estimate and recommend trees suited to your drainage, sun exposure, and soil depth rather than a one-size list.
