Such a service is usually available from a university or ag extension (assuming UT has this option) arborist working on the side for a very modest fee.

Thanks!
I suspect that they are older than thirty years too, but not sure how much. I'll definitely look into having an arborist check them out. I guess what I liked about this subdivision is that the trees are very integral to the overall aesthetic, so the builders kept the bulldozing of trees to a minimum and left things largely wooded.

Call Austin Tree Experts. They will give you a free estimate, and at the same time tell you about the health of your trees.

They are the reason we have the best looking and healthiest trees on our street.

And for those new to Austin, be aware there is a 'tree fetish' sort of thing going on. Austinites love their trees .
