Dripping Springs tree rules and oak timing
Commercial projects also face limits on removing Standard Trees of 8 to 18 inches for certain species. For oaks, Texas A&M Forest Service advises no pruning or wounding from February through June, and painting any wound at any time of year. Ask the crew to put the species, trunk size and work dates on the quote.
Checking a Dripping Springs tree service
ISA certification is a professional credential, not a state license; spraying trees for hire needs a TDA lawn and ornamental license. Texas law bars work within six feet of a high-voltage overhead line without safety arrangements with the operator, and Pedernales Electric Cooperative serves the city, so ask whether the crew has coordinated with PEC on any tree near a line.
Sales tax applies to tree removal and pruning. HomeGuide's 2026 national figures put removal at $400 to $1,200 and trimming at $400 to $900 per tree. See the Texas tree service guide and the Dripping Springs page.
