Tree Service in The Hills, TX

Withheld from production

ordinance named but the dataset carries no permit threshold, heritage threshold or mitigation rule — no city-specific answer to render.

The Hills does not have a dedicated tree-preservation ordinance with a DBH-based permit threshold. Ordinance 2018-04 (February 2018) prohibits oak trimming February through June to prevent oak wilt. For any tree work beyond this, there is no village permit requirement on a finished residential lot. Confirm current rules with Village Hall (512-261-6281) before oak work.

Austin Tree Experts service areaA simplified map of Central Texas showing 10 county outlines with Interstate 35 running north to south through them. Grey shapes are incorporated cities and towns, most of them clustered around Austin. Five places are labelled for reference: Austin at the centre, Georgetown to the north, Bastrop to the east, San Marcos to the south and Fredericksburg to the west. Two green zones sit over the map: a core service area around Austin and a wider surrounding area we also cover. The Hills is outlined inside them. All boundaries are approximate.
