San Antonio & Hill Country tree service
Power line tree removal in San Antonio & the Hill Country
A tree grown into the electrical lines is the job most San Antonio tree companies turn down. It is the work we are built for. We adhere to the energy company’s standards for line-adjacent and energized work, rope and rig the removal under full control, and bring the tree down without nicking a conductor or damaging your property.
Head arborist Cody Flores leads every line removal, and the crew is fully insured and trained specifically for this work. When a line has to be temporarily de-energized or dropped, we coordinate that side for you so you are not left calling the utility yourself.

Power line tree removal questions, answered
The things people actually call to ask. Straight answers, no runaround.
Do you remove trees touching or near power lines?
Yes. Power line tree removal is our specialty and the work many other San Antonio crews decline. We safely remove trees within or near electrical lines and adhere to the energy company's standards when a line de-energization is required. Head arborist Cody Flores leads these removals and the crew is fully insured and trained for line-adjacent work.
Who handles the power company side for trees on the lines?
We do. When a removal requires the power line to be temporarily de-energized or dropped, South Texas Tree Service adheres to the energy company's standards and handles the scheduling on your behalf. The energy company is generally responsible for vegetation touching their primary lines, while trees touching the service drop to your home are the property owner's responsibility. We help you determine which applies before any work begins.
Are you licensed and insured?
South Texas Tree Service is fully insured and trained for dangerous and line-adjacent removals. We carry the coverage that protects both our crew and your property, and we provide proof of insurance on request before work starts.
How much does tree removal cost in San Antonio?
Tree removal cost in San Antonio depends on the tree's height, trunk diameter, species, lean, and proximity to structures or power lines. Removals near electrical lines or over a roof cost more because they require specialized rigging and, when lines are involved, coordination with the utility. South Texas Tree Service gives a free, no-obligation estimate within 24 hours so you get an exact price for your specific tree.
