Tree Service in Sunset Valley, TX
Sunset Valley protects every tree 10 inches diameter or larger — one of the strictest thresholds in Central Texas. Heritage and Ancestral trees get additional protection, with Ancestral designation triggered at 30-inch diameter for large species or 15-inch for small species from the heritage list. A Tree Removal Permit application (one per tree, with photos) is required. Call Public Works at 512-891-9103 for an arborist site visit. Confirm current rules with Sunset Valley Public Works before removal.
