These guys are very professional and know what they are doing. I have used them for years now and have always been happy with their work. They can do whatever you need with your trees, and always clean up their work.
Shane Hatch and his crew have been helping me take care of our trees at both my home and businesses for many years now. They have great prices, and even greater customer service. Shane's knowledge of tree care is impressive.
The Specialty Tree Care team is the best. I will never go back to using any of the other tree companies. They are priced fairly and do excellent work. They really care about and understand tree growth.
Different Central Texas species have very different care needs — especially when it comes to oak wilt. Select your tree to see when to prune, what to watch for, and what our arborists recommend.

Each ring is a season the trees survived — and one we spent learning them. Fifteen summers of drought. Three ice storms. Thousands of oak wilt injections. This is what "local" actually looks like in Leander, Round Rock and Central Texas.
"There's a reason we don't run a call center. Trees don't take shortcuts and neither do we. If your name's on our schedule, my name's on the job."
Specialty Tree Care of Texas was founded in Round Rock in 2011 with a simple standard: no junior estimators, no subcontracted crews, no upsells that don't serve the tree. Every quote is walked by Shane or our staff Certified Arborist. Every job is finished by the same crew that started it.
Fifteen years, ten cities served, and a five-star average across 500+ Google reviews later — that standard hasn't changed.
Some of the live oaks across Leander, Round Rock and Austin were here before Texas was a state. When you hire us, you're not hiring a tree service — you're hiring stewards of the canopy your grandchildren will sit under.
Send us a few photos and the address. A certified arborist will come out, walk the property, and quote you honestly — usually within one business day.

Leander, TX is one of our primary service areas — a fast-growing community of live oaks, post oaks, and cedar elms where our arborists have handled everything from storm-damaged canopies to full lot clearing.

Oak wilt is the single most destructive tree disease in Central Texas, affecting live oaks and red oaks from Leander to Round Rock to Austin. Our team provides preventative propiconazole (Alamo) injections, root graft trenching, and correctly-timed pruning during the July–January dormant window when sap beetles are dormant. Early diagnosis dramatically improves survival rates — call (512) 247-8477 for an assessment.
Central Texas storms are unpredictable. When a limb comes down on your roof at 2 AM or an ice storm splits a heritage oak, our 24/7 emergency crew responds — typically on-site within 60–90 minutes across Leander, Round Rock, Cedar Park, Austin, Georgetown and surrounding areas.
