Local tree work, run on the oak wilt calendar
Georgetown was growing faster than any U.S. city its size. The crews arriving to work on its live oaks mostly couldn't tell a Heritage Tree from a hackberry, or February from July. So we started this company.
In 2020, Georgetown had 67,000 people. By 2025 it had passed 100,000, after leading the nation in growth two years in a row. Each new roof went up under or beside a pecan, cedar elm, post oak or live oak that got there first.
Then came the ice. February 2021. Then January 31 to February 2, 2023: three days that left nearly 120,000 cubic yards of live-oak limbs at the curb. Tree trucks followed. Out-of-state crews pruned oaks in February and left the cuts bare. They topped cedar elms, priced jobs off the tailgate, and were gone by March. Between storms, plenty of Williamson County "tree service" is still one man with a saw, a trailer and no workers' comp.
Georgetown Tree Co. is the alternative. We're locally operated. No franchise, no call center. We book and manage tree work in Georgetown and across Williamson County. The crews that climb for us carry general liability and workers' compensation written for tree work. An ISA Certified Arborist takes the hard calls. Every job gets an itemized written price before any saw starts.
How we work
We look before we price
The arborist tells you if the tree needs removing, pruning, cabling, or nothing at all. Often the honest answer costs less than you feared. Sometimes it's this: that post oak is dying from the top down, and it has to go before the next front.
Oaks get cut in safe months, and every cut gets paint
Oak wilt is active in this county. We don't prune oaks February through June. We paint each oak cut all year, storm damage included, and sterilize tools between trees. Texas A&M Forest Service and the county Extension office say to do exactly that. It's what separates a trim from an infection center.
We read the code as written
Georgetown rewrote its tree rules in September 2025. We measure at 4½ feet, check the plat date, and tell you plainly if UDC Chapter 8 calls for a Heritage Tree permit. You won't pay for paperwork that doesn't apply. And we won't cut a 30-inch live oak that carries 3-to-1 mitigation. Texas 811 gets a call before every stump.
Your call gets answered, day or night
Ice and supercells keep no schedule. Call at 2 AM with a pecan in the roof. The call is answered, the details are taken, and a crew gets moving. Crews work Monday to Saturday. Quotes usually get scheduled within a day.
