About Us

About Wild Oak Tree Service

Wild Oak Tree Service is a locally owned and family-owned tree company serving Austin, San Antonio, and the surrounding Hill Country. Our crew brings 40 years of combined experience to every job, and we built this business around a problem most tree companies in this region treat as an afterthought: oak wilt. Central Texas's live oak canopy is under real, ongoing pressure from this disease, and we think a tree company working in this region should actually know how to diagnose and treat it, not just remove whatever an oak wilt-damaged tree becomes.

We're licensed, bonded, and insured, with references available and hundreds of satisfied clients across the region.

Why Austin Chooses Wild Oak Tree Service

40 Years of Combined Team Experience

Our team brings decades of hands-on tree service experience across Austin, from tight urban lots and suburban properties to larger Hill Country acreage.

Crane-Assisted and Hazardous Tree Removal

For oversized, storm-damaged, or hazardous trees with limited space to safely drop them, we use cranes, rigging, and specialized equipment to complete the removal safely.

Palm Tree Specialists

Palm trees require different equipment, cutting methods, and cleanup than typical hardwood trees. Our team has the experience and equipment to safely trim, remove, and clean up palm trees across the Austin area.

Tree Removal Permitting Services

Tree removal in Austin can involve local tree protection rules and permits, especially for larger protected trees. We can help determine what requirements apply to your project and guide you through the permitting process.

No-Surprise, Flat-Rate Pricing

Every estimate is free and clearly written. The price we quote is the price you pay, and we'll beat or match a comparable written quote.

Locally Owned and Family-Owned

We're not a franchise. We live and work in the region and understand the tree issues that are specific to Austin and the surrounding Hill Country.

Respectful of Your Property

We plan equipment access carefully, protect the work area, and clean up thoroughly when the job is complete, whether it's a routine trim or a large crane-assisted removal.

Emergency Tree Service Available 24/7

A downed tree doesn't wait for business hours, and neither do we. Trees on structures, blocked driveways, and storm damage get a fast response day or night.

What Counts as an Emergency

  • A fallen tree on your house, garage, or another structure
  • A tree or large limb blocking your driveway or only way out
  • A large dead limb hanging in the canopy, broken but not yet down
  • A tree with a sudden new lean after a storm
  • A tree in contact with a power line

If a downed tree is touching a power line, contact your utility company first and wait for confirmation the line is de-energized before anyone approaches it. Call (888) 546-0868 any hour for emergency response.

Austin Climate and Tree Risk Factors

Central Texas combines severe thunderstorm season, drought cycles, thin limestone soil, and one of the most destructive tree diseases in the country in oak wilt. Understanding what actually drives tree failure and disease here is the foundation of the work we do.

Key Tree Risk Factors in the Austin Area

Hazard FactorHow It May Affect Trees
Oak WiltOne of the most destructive tree diseases in the country, and an active, ongoing threat across roughly 65 Texas counties including the Austin area. Spreads through interconnected live oak root systems at an average of 75 feet a year, and through beetles carrying spores from infected red oaks to fresh wounds, most actively February through June.
Severe Thunderstorms and HailSpring and summer bring fast-moving storm systems with damaging straight-line winds and large hail, which is often the single biggest source of tree damage across Central Texas in a given year.
Thin, Rocky Soil Over LimestoneMuch of Austin and the Hill Country sits on shallow soil over limestone bedrock, which limits root depth and can leave trees anchored more shallowly than they would be in deeper soil, increasing toppling risk in high wind.
Drought StressCentral Texas cycles through periods of significant drought, which weakens trees and makes them more vulnerable to pests, disease, and storm damage even after the drought itself has ended.
Flash FloodingHeavy rain events can saturate soil quickly, particularly in low-lying areas near creeks, and saturated soil holds trees far less securely in wind.
Extreme Summer HeatLong, intense Texas summers add heat stress on top of drought stress, particularly for species not well suited to this climate.
Ashe Juniper (Cedar) OvergrowthUnmanaged cedar spreads aggressively across Hill Country land and outcompetes native hardwoods and oak regeneration if left unchecked.
Ice StormsLess frequent than in northern states, but Central Texas does see occasional ice events that load branches with weight they were never built to carry.

Frequently Asked Questions

Please reach us at (888) 546-0868 if you cannot find an answer to your question.

Yes. We diagnose and treat oak wilt across the Austin area, including fungicide injection and trenching to stop root-graft spread, and it's one of the primary things that sets us apart from a general tree removal company.

Yes. Trees on structures, blocked driveways, and storm damage get a fast response day or night.

Most tree removals can be completed in a few hours, but larger or more complicated removals may take longer. The time depends on the tree's size, location, condition, and how much cleanup is needed.

If a tree has fallen or is threatening a structure, stay clear of the area and call us for emergency tree service. We can safely remove the tree and clear the affected area.

Often, yes, particularly if the tree is past the threshold of 19 inches in diameter or 60 inches in circumference at DBH. Learn more about Austin’s tree regulations and permit requirements.

We can discuss options for larger projects during the estimate.
