Why arborist services matter
Why Arborist Services Protect Your Trees and Property
Trees are a real investment, and in the Hill Country they face drought, disease and storm stress that show up early if you know what to look for. Our arborists find problems before they turn into costly removals or property damage. From structural concerns to pests and disease, we give you clear recommendations that extend the life of your trees and keep your property safe.

Local Arborist Services for Dripping Springs Properties
Every property has unique trees, soil conditions and environmental factors. Lees Trees offers personalized arborist services designed to protect residential and commercial landscapes throughout Dripping Springs with expert advice and proactive tree care.
Tree Health Diagnostics
Trees usually show stress before a major problem appears. We evaluate health, growth patterns, root conditions and structure to catch issues early. That matters here, where drought-stressed oaks are prone to hypoxylon canker.
Tree Pest & Disease Management
Disease and insect infestations weaken trees and spread fast if left alone. Our arborists identify common Central Texas pests and diseases and provide practical treatment. For oaks showing wilt symptoms, early diagnosis is critical.
Tree Risk Evaluations
Cracks, weak branch unions, heavy limbs or a lean can pose a real hazard, especially before storm season. Our certified arborist evaluates the risk and recommends cabling and bracing to preserve the tree, or removal when it is the safer call.

Hill Country know-how
Why Dripping Springs Trees Need a Certified Arborist
The Hill Country is a tough place to be a tree. Live oaks and red oaks face oak wilt, one of the most destructive tree diseases in Central Texas, while long droughts leave stressed oaks open to hypoxylon canker. The high-pH limestone soil around Dripping Springs locks up iron and causes chlorosis, the yellowing leaves with green veins you see on many trees here, and cotton root rot and ball moss add to the load. Most of these problems look similar from the ground and get misdiagnosed. Our certified arborist tells them apart, uses soil testing and deep root fertilization where it helps, and builds a treatment plan matched to the actual problem instead of guessing. For oaks specifically, we confirm the diagnosis before recommending oak wilt treatment.
A second opinion before removal
Not sure a tree has to come down? Our certified arborists give you an honest read on what it needs, whether that is cabling and bracing to preserve it or removal when that is the safer call.
