Safe, professional tree trimming, removals, stump grinding and emergency work from trained crews.
Tree service in San Antonio has to reckon with what's underneath the grass before it ever touches a saw. Between Alamo Heights, Stone Oak, and Shavano Park, Bexar County properties sit on caliche-heavy soil and limestone shelves that push roots sideways instead of down. That shallow root structure means more lean, more storm vulnerability, and a different set of judgment calls when we're deciding what to trim, what to remove, and what to leave alone.
We see the full range out here, from decades-old live oaks anchoring historic in-town lots to young trees still finding their footing in a freshly graded Stone Oak yard. Each gets a different plan. Older trees often need crown thinning and deadwood removal to reduce wind load without stressing a root system already fighting rock. Newer plantings need a health assessment to catch problems while they're still fixable, especially after a hard Texas summer.
Corral Bros is a family-run crew, licensed and insured, working residential and commercial properties across San Antonio. We show up for the free on-site estimate, tell you what we actually see in your soil and your canopy, and get most estimates scheduled within 48 hours. When storms roll through the Hill Country, we're also who you call for cleanup. Reach us at (737) 404-9343.

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.
Caliche and limestone shelves sit close to the surface across much of Bexar County, which crowds root systems and makes trees more prone to shallow, unstable roots. Corral Bros crews account for this when we assess lean, storm risk, or planting depth, and it changes how we approach stump grinding since that hard layer is often just inches down.
Yes. We handle mature live oaks and pecans on historic Alamo Heights lots as well as younger trees still establishing on newer Stone Oak and Shavano Park properties. Each situation calls for different pruning and care, and our crews adjust technique based on the tree's age, species, and how the surrounding soil has been graded or compacted.
We come to your San Antonio property, walk the site with you, and look at trunk condition, canopy structure, proximity to structures or power lines, and root exposure in the soil. You get a clear, no-obligation plan and price, usually scheduled within 48 hours of your call. No pressure, just an honest look at what your trees need.
It can be. Extended drought stress common to San Antonio summers often shows up a season or two later as dieback in the upper canopy. Deadwood is a falling hazard and can signal deeper stress, so we recommend a crown health assessment. Corral Bros can thin and remove deadwood while checking for signs of disease or root trouble.
We do. Straight-line winds and the occasional ice event bring down limbs and whole trees across Bexar County, and we respond to storm damage on both residential and commercial properties. Call us at (737) 404-9343 and we will get a crew scheduled to clear debris and stabilize any remaining hazard trees safely.
Not when it is done right. Because limestone shelves sit shallow in much of San Antonio, we grind to a depth that clears root suckering without forcing equipment against bedrock, and we clean up the loose grindings and backfill so the area is ready to reseed or landscape over.
