San Antonio sits in Bexar County across a genuine dividing line. The northern and northwestern parts of the city climb onto the Balcones Escarpment, where limestone sits close to the surface and Ashe juniper and live oak dominate. South and east of that the ground flattens and deepens. That difference changes how a tree is rooted and how it behaves when it fails, which is why we look at a property rather than quote from a map. The city also maintains its own tree preservation rules, so a protected tree here is a permit question before it is a scheduling question.
Oak wilt is the most serious tree disease in this part of Texas. It moves two ways: sap beetles carry spores to fresh wounds, and it travels underground through the grafted roots that connect live oaks to one another. The regional guidance is to keep oak pruning out of the spring months when the beetles are most active, and to paint every oak wound immediately whatever the season. We follow that, and we will tell you to wait if the calendar says wait.
Central Texas thunderstorms produce straight line winds that break limbs rather than uproot trees. What fails is usually predictable beforehand: a limb with included bark at the union, a heavy horizontal branch with no taper, or a co-dominant stem that split years ago and healed badly. Those are visible before a storm, which is the argument for a look in the calm months.
The most common cause of decline in a mature urban tree is not disease, it is root damage from work done nearby years earlier. Trenching for utilities, cutting for a driveway, or grade changes around the base all remove root mass that never grows back the way it was. The tree looks fine for several seasons and then starts to fail from the top down.
A crew arrives with the gear the job needs rather than whatever was on the truck. Rigging lowers heavy limbs in controlled pieces instead of dropping them. Cuts are placed so the remaining tree can seal the wound. Everything that comes down gets chipped or hauled, and the ground is raked before anyone leaves.
Estimates are free and given on site, because a tree cannot be priced properly from a photograph. Size, lean, what is underneath it and how we get equipment in all move the number. You get a figure before any work starts, and that figure is what you pay.
The rest of what we do in San Antonio runs alongside it: emergency tree removal at any hour of the night, storm damage cleanup once a front has passed through, and dead wood removal on a tree that is only partly gone.
There is no flat rate, because the two trees on your street are not the same job. Height, trunk diameter, lean, and what sits underneath all move the price, and access moves it most of all. We give a firm written number on site at no charge.
Storm damage and hazard limbs get dealt with whenever they happen, because a broken limb over a walkway is a bigger risk than an off season cut. Planned shaping work is better scheduled, and we are happy to book it for the right window.
We carry insurance and will show you the certificate before work starts. Ask every company you call for the same thing, and be wary of anyone who cannot produce it, because uninsured tree work on your property can become your problem rather than theirs.
We work near it carefully, and only where it is legal and safe for us to do so. If the tree is into the utility conductors, the utility handles it, usually at no cost to you. We will point you in the right direction.
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.
