Tree Service in Briarcliff, TX

Briarcliff does not have a dedicated tree-preservation ordinance with a DBH threshold. However, any site clearing, excavation, or major vegetation work requires a general village permit, and oak trimming is prohibited February 1 through June 30 to prevent oak wilt. For individual shade-tree removal on existing lots, contact the Village before starting work. Confirm current rules with Briarcliff Village Hall before removal.
