We have been doing tree cutting work in and around Hillsboro since 2014. “Tree cutting” covers three different jobs, and the price gap between them is large. Sorting out which one you actually need is the first thing we do on site.
Drainage is the recurring problem — water sits, roots suffocate, and Phytophthora gets into a root collar that never dries. It is why cutting a mature bur oak in Hillsboro is a rigging job rather than a felling job on most residential lots.

Three jobs that all get called “tree cutting”
When somebody calls asking about tree cutting, they mean one of three things and the price range between them is roughly ten to one. Cutting a tree down is a removal. Cutting branches back is trimming — off a roof, away from a fence, up over a drive. Cutting up a tree that is already down is storm clean-up, and it is priced by volume and access rather than by height.
It is worth being specific when you call, because it changes what we bring. Cutting a sixty-foot dead red oak away from a house needs a rigging crew; bucking a fallen hackberry into rounds needs a saw and a truck.
The two-thirds rule for hiring
Do not pay in full up front. A deposit on a large job is normal; the balance is due on completion after you have walked it. Any crew asking for the whole amount in cash before starting is telling you something. Also get the scope in writing — 'trim the trees' is not a scope, and it is where nearly every dispute in this trade comes from.

Local conditions
Hillsboro soil, species and timing
The ground under Hillsboro is deep black shrink-swell clay, typical of the Blackland Prairie. Soil pH runs around 7.4–8.2, which is why shrink-swell root damage shows up here so consistently — this clay moves several inches between a wet spring and a dry August, shearing feeder roots and opening cracks that dry the root zone out.
We cover ZIP code 76645. We are regularly within a few minutes of Hillsboro: Peoria (6 mi), Carl's Corner (7 mi), Bynum (8 mi) and Abbott (9 mi) are all on the same route.
Timing oak work in Hillsboro
Oak wilt is present across North Central Texas, and the single most important rule is timing: the Texas A&M Forest Service advises against pruning oaks between February 1 and June 30, when sap-feeding beetles are active and fresh cuts are how the fungus gets in. If an oak has to be cut in that window — storm damage does not wait — every wound gets painted immediately. We schedule non-urgent oak work in July through January.
People in Hillsboro search for this as tree felling, limb cutting, or simply tree cutters in Hillsboro — it is all the same job, and the estimate is free either way.
FAQ
Tree Cutting in Hillsboro — questions we get asked
How much does it cost to cut down a tree in Hillsboro?
Small trees under about 25 feet usually run $300–$650. Mid-size trees of 25–50 feet are commonly $650–$1,500. Large trees over 50 feet, or anything requiring rigging over a house, generally start around $1,500 and go up with size and difficulty. Stump grinding and haul-off are separate line items.
Will you leave the wood for firewood?
Happily — say so when we quote. Leaving rounds on site reduces the price because we are not hauling the volume. We can cut to a length you specify and stack it, which adds a little labour but is usually still cheaper than haul-off.
How soon can you get to my property in Hillsboro?
Estimates in Hillsboro are usually within a couple of business days. Scheduled work typically runs one to two weeks out depending on season — spring and post-storm periods are busiest. Hazard situations get moved to the front of the queue.
Do you serve areas outside Hillsboro?
Yes — our regular territory covers Tarrant, Johnson, Parker, Hill and Bosque Counties and the cities inside them. Hillsboro is on our normal route.
Can you work around my schedule?
Usually. Most residential work happens on weekdays during business hours, but we can often arrange early starts or a specific day if access, pets or gates require it. Commercial properties routinely get after-hours or weekend scheduling.
Do you clean up afterwards?
Completely. Brush chipped and hauled, wood removed or stacked as you prefer, ground raked and blown off. We walk the site with you before we leave. Clean-up is included in the quoted price — it is not a line item that appears later.
Do you give free estimates in Hillsboro?
Yes. Someone comes out, looks at the tree, and you get a written price with the scope spelled out — no charge and no obligation. We do not quote tree work over the phone from a description, because the things that change the price (access, what is underneath, how the wood has to come out) are not visible from a description.
