East Austin lots range from historic 1920s bungalows to new builds. We adapt — rigging on tight lots, full crane work on the bigger new-build lots when needed. Same-day in most of 78702/78722.

Tree removal in East Austin typically runs $400–$2,800 depending on tree size, location, and access. Small trees under 25 feet start near the low end. Large trees near houses, fences, or power lines cost more because we use rigging to lower sections safely. We always give a free, no-obligation written estimate before any work begins.
Inside Austin city limits, trees 19 inches in diameter or larger may be protected and require a permit. Heritage live oak and pecan trees are protected at any size. In suburbs like Pflugerville, Round Rock, and Cedar Park, rules vary by city and HOA — we know the local requirements and can help you navigate the permit process if needed.
Yes. Douglas Tree Service carries full general liability and workers' compensation insurance. We can email you a Certificate of Insurance before we start work. Never hire an uninsured tree company in East Austin — if something goes wrong, the liability falls on you.
Stump grinding is a separate service but we offer it as an add-on with most removals in East Austin. We grind 4–6 inches below grade and haul off the chips, leaving you ready to plant grass, sod, or a new tree.
For emergencies — a tree on a house, leaning over a roof, or blocking a driveway — we respond as fast as possible, often same-day when our schedule allows. Standard removals are typically scheduled within 3–7 days of accepting the estimate.
