Answers to the questions Austin homeowners ask most about tree work.
In many cases, yes. The City of Austin requires a permit to remove trees with a trunk diameter of 19 inches or more (measured at 4.5 ft above ground). Heritage trees (over 24 inches) have additional protections. Your matched pro will know the permit requirements for your specific situation and can handle the paperwork.
Try the scratch test — scrape a small section of bark off a branch. Green underneath means it's alive. Brown and dry means it may be dead. Other signs of a dead tree: no leaves in spring, peeling bark, fungal growth at the base, and branches snapping easily. When in doubt, request a tree health assessment through Holly — an arborist can give you a definitive answer.
Late winter (January–March) is ideal for most species — trees are dormant, and you can see the branch structure clearly. Avoid pruning oaks between February and June due to oak wilt risk. Live oaks are best pruned in July–January. Your matched pro will know the right timing for your tree species.
Most pros include debris cleanup and haul-away in their quote. Some offer to leave firewood-length logs if you want them. Stump grinding is usually a separate line item. Always confirm what's included in your quote before work begins.
Experienced tree crews use rigging, crane lifts, and protective ground mats to minimize property impact. Some yard disruption from heavy equipment is normal, especially for large removals, but reputable pros will restore the area afterward. Discuss access and protection with your pro before work starts.
