Tree Service in Kyle, TX

Kyle requires a Tree Removal Plan and written approval from the Director of Planning before any protected tree 12 inches DBH or larger can be removed. If the tree is a specimen or protected species, the application must include a letter of justification with photographs and (where appropriate) a certified arborist condition letter. The provisions are triggered by activities requiring a land development permit — residential-lot pruning on a finished home is typically outside the scope. Confirm current rules with Kyle Planning before removal.
