Tree Removal in San Antonio, TX

Safety First

Tree removal is one of the most dangerous jobs in the industry — and one where cutting corners can mean catastrophic property damage or serious injury. At 3 Monkeys Tree Service, safety isn't a selling point — it's the foundation of everything we do. Our crews are fully licensed, carry comprehensive liability and workers' compensation insurance, and follow strict ANSI A300 safety protocols on every removal.

We've been removing trees across San Antonio for over 20 years, earning a reputation for honest assessments, clean work, and zero surprises. Whether it's a dead oak threatening your roof or a storm-damaged pecan leaning over your driveway, we have the equipment, training, and experience to get it down safely.

Spotless Results

When we say complete removal, we mean it. Every tree removal includes full branch chipping, log removal, debris hauling, and a thorough yard cleanup. You won't find leftover sawdust piles, scattered branches, or tire tracks — we leave your property cleaner than we found it. That commitment to professionalism is why San Antonio homeowners choose 3 Monkeys over the competition.

Local Expertise

San Antonio's urban canopy includes species that each present unique removal challenges. We regularly handle live oaks, post oaks, cedar elms, pecans, mountain laurels, Arizona ash, and Ashe juniper (mountain cedar). Our crews are equipped for trees of all sizes — from 20-foot ornamentals to 80-foot mature hardwoods — and every species is approached with the right technique for the safest, most efficient removal.

Compliance & Permits

San Antonio's Tree Preservation Ordinance protects heritage trees — any tree with a trunk diameter of 24 inches or more, measured at 4.5 feet above ground. Removing a heritage tree without proper authorization can result in significant fines. Our team handles the entire permitting process and ensures full compliance with city regulations, so you don't have to worry about paperwork or penalties.

Your Protection

An uninsured tree crew might save you a few dollars up front — but if something goes wrong, you're liable for property damage, medical bills, and legal costs. Every 3 Monkeys job is covered by comprehensive general liability insurance and workers' compensation. We carry proof of insurance to every site and are happy to provide certificates on request. Your safety and financial protection are non-negotiable.
