Reliable emergency tree service in San Antonio

Get everyone out of the rooms under the tree, and stay out if you see cracked ceilings or hear the structure shifting. Keep clear of any wires the tree took down and call CPS Energy if a line is involved. Then call Hill Country Oaks Tree Service at (210) 538‑6533, day or night, and we’ll get the weight off the roof safely.

Yes. Hill Country Oaks Tree Service is open 24/7, and we answer every call, including storm nights and holidays. We respond fast, and we’ll send a crew with the equipment the job needs.

Emergency work is priced on what the tree’s resting on and how big it is. A crane or rigging to lift it off safely changes it, and so does how much gets cut free now versus hauled off later. You’ll get the price before the crew starts, and a few photos sent ahead make that faster.

Yes. A trunk lying on a fence gets cut away in pieces, so the weight comes off without pulling more panels down. The fence repair is a job for your fence builder, and the yard’s left clear for them. Send a photo from each side if you can get there safely.

Yes. A tree across a parking lot, a common area or an entry drive gets the same handling as one on a house. Call (210) 538‑6533, and tell us who’s managing the property so the crew knows who to meet.

Usually, yes. When there’s no room for trucks, the crew works the tree by hand and carries the pieces out. Pieces too heavy to carry can go to a crane-capable crew, which lifts them over the house. A photo of the gate and the side yard tells us which setup to bring.

Yes. The crew cuts the tree back in pieces, then lifts the last heavy sections straight up with rigging or a crane. That way nothing’s dragged across the paint. Photograph the car first, since your insurance company will want to see it.

Yes. If a tree’s got you blocked in, the first cuts open a way out for your car, and the rest of the tree follows. Tell us when you call if someone in the house needs to get to work or to a doctor.

Not while there’s lightning or wind strong enough to move the tree, because that puts the crew and your house at more risk. Call (210) 538‑6533 anyway, so you’re on the list and the crew can start as soon as it’s safe. Until then, keep everyone out from under it.

Wind loads a canopy like a sail, and the weakest point gives first, whether that’s a cracked union, a decayed trunk or soaked roots. Older trees with decay inside can look fine right up until the wind finds the weak spot. A tree with a split trunk, a dead top or a heavy lean is worth a free photo look before storm season.
