GEORGETOWN, TEXAS

Tree down,
or coming down?

Tell us about the trees on your property.

A storm-damaged limb, a dead oak, a stump that has to go, or a few acres of cedar. We're planning a local tree service referral service and want to hear what Georgetown-area property owners need.

Tell us about your project

Tell us what's going on and we'll review your request for a contractor introduction.

WHAT ARE YOU DEALING WITH?Tree removalTrimming & pruningStump grindingStorm cleanup

THE WORK YOU HAVE IN MIND

From one hazardous tree
to a whole tree line.

You don't need to know the species. A rough size, how many trees, and where they are is enough to start. Mention power lines, structures or fences close by in your notes.

01 /

Tree removal

Tell us how many trees, roughly how big the trunks are, and whether anything sits underneath or beside them.

02 /

Trimming & oak care

Live oaks need extra care. Tell us the species if you know it and what needs to come off.

03 /

Stumps & storm cleanup

Leftover stump, storm damage or fallen limbs? Tell us what is on the ground and where.

YOUR PROPERTY

What are you
having removed?

Let us know where the property is, what needs to come down or be trimmed, roughly how big the trees are, and when you'd like it done.

Write it the way you'd explain it.

“Two dead live oaks behind the garage, about 30 inches across, plus a 15-inch stump to grind.” That gives us something useful to work with.

We review each request and look for a contractor who serves the area and type of work you describe.

BEFORE YOU START

What to know before you remove or trim a tree in Georgetown

Tree work looks simple until it involves an oak, a city rule, or a tree next to a house. These notes cover typical costs, oak wilt timing and what to check first.

How much does tree removal cost?

One local roundup of Georgetown tree care puts tree removal at roughly $281 to $1,563 per tree, depending on the tree's type and height (LawnStarter). Large trees, trees near buildings or power lines, and jobs that need a crane cost more. Ask whether hauling, cleanup and stump grinding are included, because they are often quoted separately.

Oak wilt and when to prune

Oak wilt is a serious disease of Texas oaks, including live oaks, spread by sap beetles that are most active in late winter and spring. Texas A&M Forest Service advises avoiding pruning or wounding oaks from February through June, treating the best pruning window as the dormant season (roughly November through January), and painting any oak wound right away, whatever the season (Texas A&M Forest Service). If a contractor plans to trim your oaks in spring, ask how they will handle the cuts.

Check the city's rules first

The City of Georgetown accepts requests to review and approve the removal or pruning of heritage trees through its Planning Department (City of Georgetown). Rules and size thresholds can differ inside and outside city limits and for residential versus commercial lots, so confirm with the city before removing a large tree.

Before work starts

  • Insurance. Ask for proof of liability insurance and workers' compensation before anyone climbs or cuts.
  • Underground utilities. If the job involves digging or heavy equipment, utilities must be located and marked first (Texas811).
  • Written quotes. Get two or three that state which trees, what work, and whether cleanup, hauling and stump grinding are included.

Clearing more than a few trees?

For brush, cedar or a whole lot, see land clearing. If your fence line needs to be opened up first, see gates and fencing in Georgetown.

How requests work here

Local Project Guide is a new referral service run by Jon Staples. We read every request, and we do not share your contact details with a contractor without your permission. See the About page and the privacy notice.

Cost figures come from the linked sources, are estimates, and vary by site and contractor. Last checked September 2026. This is general information, not legal, engineering, or environmental advice.
