Yes. Fair Oaks Ranch is unusual in that the city spans three counties, Bexar, Comal and Kendall, and we serve all of it. Wooded lots and mature canopy are the norm, so most work here is careful removal and structural trimming rather than clearing. Free estimates, and crews available at any hour.
For tree work in Fair Oaks Ranch, 3 Monkeys Tree Service covers the whole job: taking the tree down, trimming what stays, grinding the stump and hauling the debris away. We are rated 4.9 by 544 Google reviewers and answer the phone at any hour. The estimate costs nothing and commits you to nothing.
Fair Oaks Ranch is its own incorporated city and it straddles three counties, Bexar, Comal and Kendall. That is worth knowing before any removal, because which county and which set of rules apply to your address is not always obvious from the street. Confirm with the City of Fair Oaks Ranch rather than assuming San Antonio rules carry over. The canopy here is largely live oak and Ashe juniper on Hill Country ground, with mature trees standing close to houses on wooded lots.
Oak wilt guidance in Central Texas is straightforward and worth following. Do not prune oaks during the spring months when sap beetles are moving. Paint oak wounds immediately, year round, including storm damage that you did not choose the timing of. Because live oaks share root systems, a single infected tree can become a spreading problem rather than an isolated one.
On established lots the tree is usually older than everything around it, and there is no open ground to drop it into. That means dismantling from the top on ropes, taking sections small enough to control by hand over a roof, and setting them down in whatever clear space exists. It is slower than felling and it is the only responsible method when a house is underneath.
Rooting depth is one of the first things we assess, because it governs how a tree will fail. Thin soil over limestone forces roots outward instead of down. That is normal here and not by itself a problem, but it does mean a wet spring followed by a windstorm is the combination to watch, and that cracked or heaving soil around a trunk deserves a look.
Trimming and removal are different jobs and get treated that way. Trimming means deciding which limbs stay, working to a target shape, and leaving enough canopy for the tree to feed itself. Removal means getting the whole thing down without touching anything else. We quote them separately.
Most residential jobs are done in a day. Larger removals and multi tree work take longer, and we tell you which yours is at the estimate rather than on the morning of. Scheduling gets confirmed before you commit.
Fair Oaks Ranch owners also book the jobs nobody plans for: emergency tree removal when a trunk is already on something, storm damage cleanup after a squall line, and dead wood removal before a limb finds a target. Whole-tree tree removal is a separate call.
There is a right answer per species, and it is worth asking rather than assuming. Get it wrong on an oak and you can introduce a disease that kills the tree. Get it wrong on most other species and you have simply cost the tree some growth.
That is what the insurance is for, and you should ask to see it in writing rather than take a verbal answer. Tree work puts heavy weight over roofs and vehicles. The paperwork is the difference between an accident being an inconvenience and being your bill.
Depends which line. We will look and tell you honestly whether it is our job or one for the electric company. Nobody should be putting a saw near a live conductor to save you a phone call.
Removal of the debris is part of the quote rather than an extra. If you want the wood left cut to stove length we will do that instead, which some people prefer. Tell us at the estimate either way.
My husband and I couldn’t be happier with the makeover our trees received. We chose the perfect company, and the entire experience was wonderful from start to finish. The team was friendly, professional, and did an excellent job. We’d gladly return because of their outstanding service and the care they put into their work. Highly recommended.
Wonderfully professional and detail oriented. I definarly recommend 3 Monkeys Tree Service!
LOVED THEM! Super quick, friendly, and did what they promised. I almost wish I had more trees for them to fix. They trimmed the crazy one in the back, and took out one that was starting to grow under the driveway and break the concrete. Can't even tell it was there. 100% would use these guys again.
They were great! Came out the very next day. It was such a tall tree. Did an awesome job. They surpassed my expectations. I will absolutely be using them again.
3 monkeys tree service was amazing. They were on time and did a great job and when they left the area was completely clean up. I would definitely recommend them to anyone who is looking for a great company with wonderful employees.
On time. Very professional, large crew. Everything was trimmed and clean. Trees won’t need cleaning up for a while but i would hire this team again in a heartbeat.
