Tree Service in Round Rock, TX | Removal, Storm & Stumps

Crew cutting up a cedar elm that fell across a Georgetown street and onto a power line after a severe thunderstorm

Round Rock grew from a railroad town on Brushy Creek to 130,000 people in about forty years, and its trees show it: the big pecans, bur oaks and cedar elms along Brushy Creek and in the old neighborhoods around Main Street and Old Settlers Park, then subdivision after subdivision from the 1990s on — Forest Creek, Brushy Creek, Behrens Ranch, Teravista, Paloma Lake, Stone Oak — planted with live oaks, cedar elms and red oaks that are now big enough to matter. The March 21, 2022 EF-2 tornado touched down near the I-35/SH 45 interchange and ran 29 miles northeast through the city toward Granger; 1,122 structures in the county were damaged and a lot of the trees that failed were the same ones that fail everywhere: cedar elms at tight forks, live oaks at old unions, hackberries at the base.

Round Rock has its own tree preservation rules under its Code of Ordinances, with its own protected sizes and a separate permit process from Georgetown's UDC Chapter 8 — we check which city and which rule applies before quoting, because the county line and the city limits don't follow the neighborhood names. Oak wilt is present in Round Rock as it is county-wide; the calendar is the same, July through January for oaks, cuts painted, tools sterilized.

Questions from Round Rock homeowners

Does Round Rock require a permit to remove a tree?

Round Rock has its own tree preservation ordinance, separate from Georgetown's. It protects trees by size and species on most property and has a permit process through the city's planning department; single-family lots have exemptions but they're not identical to Georgetown's. We confirm which rule applies to your lot before we cut.

Is the 2022 tornado damage still affecting trees?

Yes. A lot of trees on the track that didn't fall lost leaders or were twisted at the trunk, and three years later the damage shows as decay at the old wounds and cracks at the forks. If your tree was in the path — the I-35/SH 45 area, Chisholm Trail, Vista Oaks, out toward Hutto — it's worth an assessment before the next front.

How fast can you get to Round Rock after a storm?

It's fifteen minutes from Georgetown; for a tree on a house or across a driveway, usually within a couple of hours, any time. After a county-wide event we triage structures first.

Do you prune oaks in Round Rock in the spring?

No — same oak wilt rules as everywhere in Williamson County. July through January for oaks, painted cuts always.

Do you grind stumps in Round Rock?

Yes, priced by the inch with a $150 minimum, 811 locate first, and we backfill so you can sod.
