A tree company that knows the oak wilt calendar by heart
We started because Georgetown was growing faster than any city its size in America — and the crews showing up to work on its live oaks mostly didn't know a Heritage Tree from a hackberry, or February from July.
Georgetown went from 67,000 people in 2020 to more than 100,000 by 2025, and led the country in growth two years running. Every one of those new rooftops went in under, or next to, a live oak, a post oak, a cedar elm or a pecan that was here first. Then the ice came — February 2021, and the three-day storm of January 31 to February 2, 2023 that put nearly 120,000 cubic yards of live-oak limbs on the curbs — and the tree trucks came with it. Out-of-state crews, pruning oaks in February with unpainted cuts, topping cedar elms, quoting off the tailgate and gone by March. Between storms, a lot of "tree service" in Williamson County is still a man with a saw, a trailer and no workers' comp.
Georgetown Tree Co. exists to be the other option. We're a locally operated tree company — not a franchise, not a call center — that books and manages tree work across Georgetown and Williamson County. The crews that climb for us carry general liability and workers' compensation written for tree work, an ISA Certified Arborist looks at the hard calls, and every job comes with a written, itemized price before a saw starts.
What we stand on
Look first, then quote
Our arborist tells you whether the tree needs to come down, be pruned, be cabled, or be left alone. A lot of the time the honest answer costs you less than you feared — and sometimes it's "that post oak is dead from the top down and it needs to go before the next front."
Oaks only in the safe months, cuts painted the minute they're made
Oak wilt is active in Williamson County. We don't prune oaks from February through June, we paint every oak cut year-round — storm damage included — and we sterilize tools between trees. It's what Texas A&M Forest Service and the county Extension office say to do, and it's the difference between a trim and an infection center.
Know the code, don't invent it
Georgetown rewrote its tree rules in September 2025. We measure at 4½ feet, check the plat date, and tell you plainly whether UDC Chapter 8 wants a Heritage Tree permit — instead of charging you for paperwork that doesn't apply, or cutting a 30-inch live oak that carries 3-to-1 mitigation. And Texas 811 gets called before every stump.
Answer the phone — 24/7
Ice storms and supercells don't keep office hours. Call at 2 AM with a pecan through the roof and someone answers, takes the details and gets a crew moving. Crews work Monday through Saturday; quotes are usually scheduled within a day.
