Tree Service in Cedar Park, TX
Cedar Park requires a survey of every 6-inch-caliper-or-larger tree before development, with 50% of preferred-species trees preserved on site. When removals happen, the fee-in-lieu scales steeply: $150 per inch for 8–18.9-inch trees, $300 per inch for 19–25.9-inch trees, and $450 per inch for heritage trees 26 inches or larger. On finished residential lots, routine pruning and smaller-tree removal generally don't require a permit. Confirm current rules with Cedar Park Planning before removal.
