Professional Tree Trimming Services
Routine trimming keeps trees strong, safe, and attractive. Our crews remove dead, damaged, and overgrown branches to improve structure, encourage healthy growth, and lower the risk of storm damage. Whether you are maintaining mature shade trees or young ornamentals, we tailor each trimming plan to your property and the Hill Country climate.
Tree Trimming for Safer Properties in Dripping Springs
Overgrown limbs threaten roofs, driveways, power lines, and nearby structures, and Central Texas wind and ice find the weak ones first. Lees Trees reduces that risk with controlled trimming that improves both safety and appearance while protecting the long-term health of your trees.
Professional Tree Pruning Services
Pruning protects long-term tree health and helps prevent disease. By selectively removing dead, diseased, or weak branches, our certified specialists help trees grow stronger and reduce hazards like falling limbs and structural failure. Every job follows industry-approved cuts that support balanced growth and keep your trees healthy and structurally sound.
Crown Reduction & Thinning
Large or overcrowded canopies need specialized cuts. Our crown reduction and thinning reduce excess weight, improve structure, and let more sunlight and airflow through the tree while keeping its natural shape. This matters for the big live oaks common on Hill Country lots.
Tree Shaping
Professional shaping improves both the health and the look of your landscape. We shape ornamental and shade trees for balanced growth and clean lines that lift the appearance of your whole property.
Seasonal Tree Maintenance in the Hill Country
Regular maintenance keeps trees healthy through every Central Texas season. Our scheduled trimming removes hazardous limbs, encourages healthy growth, and prepares trees for drought, storms, and winter ice, so small issues do not turn into expensive problems.
Why Pruning Timing Matters for Oaks in Dripping Springs
Dripping Springs sits in the Texas Hill Country, where live oaks and red oaks are the signature trees, and where oak wilt is a serious, fast-moving disease across Hays County. Oak wilt spreads most easily when oaks are cut between February and June, the active season for the beetles that carry the fungus. That is why our certified arborists avoid pruning oaks in that window and seal every oak cut year-round to keep the wound from attracting beetles. We time each job around the tree species, its health, and the season, so pruning strengthens your trees instead of putting them at risk. If you have already spotted browning or wilting leaves on an oak, ask about our arborist evaluation and oak wilt treatment.

Timing is everything with pruning here, especially for oaks. Use this quick guide to know the right window for common Hill Country trees, then let our arborists confirm the plan for your property.
| Tree type | Best pruning window | What to avoid and why |
|---|---|---|
| Tree typeLive oaks & red oaks | Best windowMid-summer or winter dormancy | AvoidNever prune February through June. That is peak oak wilt beetle season. Seal every cut. |
| Tree typeFruit & ornamental trees | Best windowLate winter, before bud break | AvoidHeavy summer cuts that stress the tree during Hill Country heat. |
| Tree typeCedar elm & shade trees | Best windowWinter dormancy | AvoidOver-thinning. Keep enough live crown so the tree stays strong. |
| Tree typeStorm-damaged limbs (any tree) | Best windowAs soon as it is safe | AvoidWaiting. Open breaks invite decay and pests fast in this climate. |
