Natural Habitat Preservation
Contrary to popular belief, cedar trees are not an invasive species in the Texas Hill Country. In many cases, excessive cedar removal can disrupt the natural soil ecosystem that supports healthy tree growth. This underground network of roots, nutrients, microorganisms, and mycorrhizal fungi helps trees absorb water and essential nutrients. When too much of this habitat is removed, trees can experience increased drought stress and decline.
Healthy oak and cedar populations often thrive together when maintained in balance. Rather than removing all cedars, selective thinning combined with proper canopy management can improve tree health while preserving the natural soil environment.
Protect the soil. Balance the canopy. Preserve the oaks.
Our Approach
We provide complimentary on-site evaluations to identify trees that should be removed, trees showing signs of decline, and the services needed to restore long-term health. Our goal is to preserve the natural habitat and soil ecosystem that allows trees to thrive.
Pricing
Services are priced by zone, with each zone representing a distinct tree and soil area, such as a front or back yard. Each zone includes:
Natural habitat preservation cut
Debris removal
200-gallon root inoculation treatment
Cost: $4,500 per zone
Following a free evaluation, we will determine the number of zones on your property and help prioritize services based on your goals and budget.
