Will Williamson County Pick-up our Downed Trees? 2/10/23

Hi Neighbors,

Many of you have been asking whether there will be a Federal, State or County response to citizens in Williamson County after the Ice Storm the week of January 30, 2023. The Williamson County Commissioners met on Tuesday 2/7/23 and voted not to pick-up trees and branches that fell during the historic ice storm; UNLESS, the trees and branches fell on county roads and the county trucks previously pushed the debris off roadways early in the storm.

Unfortunately, there will not be federal or state assistance either. However, there are two options for us:

We may burn the tree and branch debris if our Emergency Services District (ESD) permits burning. Please check with Round Rock Fire Station 9 at 2721 Sam Bass Rd, Round Rock, TX 78681 or 512-341-3162 to determine whether there is a current burn ban in effect.
Williamson County Landfill is currently only charging $10.00 + tax for a truckload of tree and branch debris to help residents in their clean-up efforts. The landfill is located at 600 Landfill Road, Hutto, TX 78634. Their contact information is (512) 759-8881.
- Their hours of operation are:
  - Monday- Friday: 7 a.m. – 5 p.m. (Hand Unloading: 7 a.m – 4 p.m)
  - Saturday: 7 a.m. – noon
  - Sunday: Closed
  - Call for holiday hours

Thank-you,

Dangerous Tree Removal

Hi Neighbors,

We posted a list of tree and branch removal companies this weekend, and they are repeated below. There may also be certain trees with branches that have been too difficult to reach or safely cut. We have asked Climbers Unlimited, a fully insured company out of East Texas who specializes in “dangerous tree removal” services to come assist those homeowners with high or massive limbs with safe, sustainable removal. They also do standard limb removal and haul-off as well. If neighbors will work together there may be some economies of scale and cost savings to be had. Their contact info is:

Storm Resources Available to TSHOA

Dear Tonkawa Springs Residents,

Williamson County has been declared a Disaster Area due to the winter storms this week, and Tonkawa Springs is no exception. We know that almost all Tonkawa residents have been affected, and many are just now starting to clear out the debris.

Here are some tree and brush removal resources:

– PRV Tree (HOA has used them) 512-961-8881

– Elias Bautista (Many TS neighbors have used them for years) 512-788-7986

– Nathan Casey (Local guy who was distributing cards yesterday to homeowners) 512-966-1625

– Jesus Tree Services 512-945-7349/512-945-2439

– Tonkawa’s own Jon Koonce and sons can cut and haul it away debris. Fees range from $50 and up depending on how many limbs. Text Jon 512-775-8266.

The County does have a Winter Storm Resources page (https://www.wilco.org/wilco-winter-storm-resources), but unfortunately, damage to personal property is up to individual homeowners. If we become aware of a brush and limb haul-off by the County or other entity we will try to get the word out.
