Why Professional Tree Removal Protects Your Property
Removing a tree is more than cutting it down. Large limbs, unstable trunks, nearby structures and tight access make removal dangerous without the right crew and equipment. Lees Trees evaluates each tree and builds a removal plan that protects your home, landscaping, vehicles, fences and utility lines.
Whether the tree is dead, storm-damaged, leaning or simply in an unsafe spot, we complete the job safely and leave your property clean. When the stump is left behind, we can grind it below grade as the next step.
What we remove
Experienced Tree Removal Specialists Serving Dripping Springs
Every tree removal project presents different challenges. Some trees are located close to homes, while others may be leaning toward roadways, power lines or neighboring properties.
Trees Near Homes & Structures
Trees over a roof, fence or power line need rigging or a crane. We bring large oaks down in sections with controlled cuts and minimal ground impact.
Dead, Leaning or Storm-Damaged Trees
Dead, hollow or storm-damaged trees are unpredictable and call for extra safety steps. We plan the removal and take the tree down before it fails on its own.
Lot Clearing & Multiple Trees
From a single dangerous oak to full lot clearing, our crew uses professional climbing equipment, bucket trucks and rigging systems to remove trees of every size.

Hill Country know-how
Why Trees Fail in the Dripping Springs Hill Country
Dripping Springs trees grow in thin soil over limestone, and that makes removals here different. Long droughts and extreme summer heat kill live oaks and cedar elms slowly, while oak wilt moves through Hays County and takes down red oaks and live oaks fast. Shallow root plates over rock leave big trees prone to leaning after heavy rain, and Central Texas wind and ice finish off limbs that are already weak. Lees Trees starts every job with a certified-arborist assessment, uses crane and rigging systems for large oaks near structures, and disposes of diseased oak wood the right way so oak wilt is not carried to healthy trees. That last step matters, and most homeowners never think about it.
Oak wilt and the wood we haul away
Diseased oak wood is disposed of properly so oak wilt is not carried to your healthy trees, and when the stump is left behind we can grind it below grade as the next step.
