About

RovingArborist Tree Service handles tree work out of San Marcos, Texas. Andrew and Sheila run the company and provide removal of dead or overgrown trees, pruning of oaks and palms, trimming of crepe myrtles, stump grinding, and bracing of damaged trees. They cover jobs in nearby spots such as Kyle and southwest Austin, often working with a small crew that includes helpers like Chico.

Customers call them for dead tree removal next to mailboxes or other trees, large oak trimming in extreme heat, and tight-space cuts where heavy equipment cannot fit. Reviews note that Andrew honors quoted prices even when the job runs longer than expected, the crew clears debris and leaves yards cleaner than before arrival, and they handle extra tasks like old cable work or neighbor tree limbs without added charges. Multiple homeowners mention the team grinding old stumps during the same visit and returning later to finish cleanup when trailers fill up.

Andrew responds fast to bid requests, arrives on the scheduled day, and keeps customers updated throughout. Sheila handles scheduling and stays in touch. The crew shows up on time, works efficiently with well-maintained gear, and stays careful around hot tubs, chairs, and stone structures. Pricing comes up as fair and unchanged from the original bid, with service in residential yards across the listed areas.

The company holds a 5-star Google rating from 29 reviews. Common points include quick scheduling, honest bids that hold, thorough property protection, and strong results on both small and large tree jobs.

What Customers Say

“Andrew came out to give a follow up quote from a note he left on my door to remove a dead tree. The price was too good to be true so I was totally ready for a price hike or oh that’s not included etc. None of that. He honored that price and we had him take out another tree while he was here. Came the next day and worked fast and clean. Highly recommended!”

Scott Terres

“Can't say enough great things about Andrew and his crew. His bid was based on a half day but it ended up take a lot more than that. He stuck to his original bid, which was super fair. Trees look incredible! They left the yard looking better than when they showed up, were very careful of chairs, hot tub, etc. in the yard. Missed nothing!! Call Andrew for a fair, honest deal on taking care of your trees! We are in Six Creeks in Kyle.”

Jennifer Brown

“I had a single large dead oak tree cut down at my home in South West Austin by Roving Arborist 4/1/2025. This was a difficult tree to remove because of the size of the tree and proximity to my stone mail box and other trees in the yard. Observation of the Roving Arborist crew led by Andrew, one of the owners of this company. - Andrew notified me of their planned arrival time and they were on time and started to work immediately. - the upscale equipment used by this crew made the work go very quickly and professionally, their equipment was well maintained and allowed a small team to do the work very efficiently. - they were careful with my property and the crew worked well together with a high regard for each others safety. - the work was completed faster than I expected - they cleaned up the work site without any special requests they just knew what was expected. - the job was done for the amount of money pre-determined the day before, I believe it a was fair price. I have lived at this house for over 30 years and this was by far the best equipped and professional tree trimming/removal team that I have used. Thanks for a job well done and I plan to use Roaming Arborist again in th”

“Roving Aborist are nice, professional, courteous and honest. They came out and cut my trees did a great job. They left some branches they could not take that day due to their trailer was full. I have lots of big trees He said he be back to pick up the rest on another day. I payed him. I felt I could trust him. I didn't see them come back but, my sister told me they had come back to pick up the branches and they clean up after they finished. I recommend this company for any service, I can't say enough great things about this company. You won't be disappointed if you use them for your yard job. Their prices are very reasonable. I had used another company got a price but the day they came to do the job he changed the price! I also paid them on the promise they would come back to finish the job i had payed them to do.They never did. This is why I had to called Roving Aborist. I will use them again. Thank you again for a great job.”

“A five star job from Andrew and Sheila at the Roving Arborist! Andrew and his crew had quite a large undertaking with my many large old oak trees and withering 100+ degree heat. Beautiful job. Completely cleaned out dead limbs and overgrowth and went over and above in taking care of some old tree cables that I had. They have the equipment and know how to do anything project large or small. I highly recommend.”

“We are Extremely happy with the job Andrew did! A pine tree fell against another tree and we had no idea how to remove it. Not a problem for The Roving Arborist! Not only did they do a wonderful job, they are also VERY nice! Will definitely be calling them for any issues we have with trees in the future.”

Yvonne Yeoman

“They have great professional service can even grind stumps and even ground old stumps during that time that they were here and cut down two dead oak trees and trimmed neighbors tree off my house. I highly recommend them for all your tree services. And the price was great”

Debra Alvarado

“My trees were over extended into my neighbor's trees. I had branches hanging very low. My back yard tree looked more like an overgrown 40 foot bush. The workers show up on time and in very little time had my trees looking great. Not only did they do an excellent job on my trees they took care of two large bushes in my backyard at no extra expense. When they finished with their cleanup my yard looked better than before they arrived. I recommend this company to do any tree or yard work. They are truly professional.”

George G

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “Roving Arborist did an excellent job removing two large, overgrown 30ft crepe myrtles from my backyard. Since I’m in a garden home, the space was very tight and they couldn’t use their heavy-duty equipment, but they still managed the job with no problem. They worked efficiently, shredded a massive amount of limbs and trunks, and left everything cleaned up. Very professional and reasonably priced — highly recommend!””

David “Cade” Blankenship

“The service they provided was so much more than I expected! They cleaned up branches and stumps that were already in the yard besides downing the tree we needed down. They cleaned the sidewalk and got rid of all the debris. They were kind and considerate.”
