"I first met Cecil a few years ago, and hired him on the spot. He has taken care of our trees every time a destructive storm came through, including this Memorial Day storm that came with 85mph straight line winds, that toppled our trees or broke branches 20-30ft up. Cecil is a decent man, one who will explain how a tree will be pruned, uses disinfectant on the blades, and applies pruning paint to the cuts insuring bugs or disease don't stand a chance. All of his crew are pleasant, speak English, polite, and knowledgeable of safety measures; using ropes and guides; the proper way to cut different types of trees; the angle of cuts; and they clean up the area and remove all the debis afterward. I will always hire Woodson's Tree Service because Cecil has integrity, knowledge, and cares about your needs (we all have a tree that is special to us, and his crew takes care to preserve what they can, afterall, that's the tree the children learned to climb on, the one that put shade on a yard or kept your house cool. He is genuine and honest, and a good Christian man. I can't imagine anyone better, and I trust him totally! You can ask all the questions you want and he is pleased to explain. His company is insured, AAA approved, and Cecil is always improving himself with certifications. He is also Oak Wilt certified. I recommend this company 100%."

FAQs for tree service projects in Waco, TX
You might remove a tree for free if it’s small, easy to reach, and your city doesn’t require a permit. Call the planning or public works office first to be sure. If they give you the green light, follow all safety rules, wear protective gear, and ask a friend to spot you. When in doubt—or if the tree is tall—hire a pro instead.
In many cities, you’ll need a permit—sometimes even an arborist’s report—before cutting down a tree. Start by calling your local building or planning department. They’ll tell you whether the tree is protected, how big it can be before a permit kicks in, and whether the work has to be done by a licensed pro. Get written approval before scheduling the job to stay on the right side of local rules.
It’s best to leave healthy trees alone—they add shade, boost curb appeal, and support wildlife. Take one down only if it’s dead, diseased beyond saving, or posing a real safety risk. Check local rules first; many areas protect heritage or street trees.
When removal seems necessary, bring in a licensed arborist for an on-site assessment and written recommendation before you book the crew.
If you’re torn between trimming, pruning, or full removal, start with an honest health check. Trim to shape the canopy or encourage new growth. Prune when you spot broken or diseased branches that could spread trouble.
Plan on removal only if the trunk is hollow, several major limbs are dead, storm damage is extensive, or the tree leans dangerously toward a structure.
A tree that’s 15 to 20 feet from your home isn’t automatically a problem. Healthy, small species often coexist just fine with houses. Trouble starts when the trunk shows decay, roots crack the foundation, or overhanging branches threaten the roof. Bring in a licensed arborist for a close look and written recommendation before you decide to remove or simply prune.
Timing hinges on size and complexity. A small tree might be gone in a few hours, a mid-sized one in half a day, and a giant could keep the crew busy for one to two full workdays. Add extra time if you’re grinding the stump, hauling wood, or navigating tight spaces near power lines or fences.
