The Family Behind Leaf Tree Services

The Family Behind Leaf Tree Services

Leaf Tree Services was founded in 2015 by Jeff and Shannon Hempel, a husband-and-wife team based right here in Round Rock. What started as a commitment to doing tree care the right way has grown into one of Central Texas's most trusted local tree services, built almost entirely on referrals and repeat clients.

Over the years, clients have trusted us with everything from routine tree trimming and large-scale removals to tree planting, arborist consultations, stump grinding, root barrier installation, and full landscape bed work, all handled with the same level of care and attention, regardless of job size.

Jeff handles the trees. Shannon handles everything that keeps the business running smoothly. Together, we’ve built something that reflects both of our high standards, expert work, clear communication, and a reputation we’re proud to stand behind.

Meet Jeff Hempel — ISA-Certified Arborist in Round Rock

Jeff didn't get into tree care to run a company from behind a desk. He got into it because he genuinely cares about trees: understanding how they grow, what threatens them, and how to keep them healthy for the long term. As one of only a handful of ISA-Certified Arborists in Round Rock, Jeff brings over 15 years of hands-on experience across residential, commercial, and municipal projects throughout Central Texas.

Jeff holds ISA Certification, the industry's recognized standard for professional arborists. In plain terms, that means when he looks at your tree, he's not guessing. He's evaluating structure, health, and risk using established, evidence-based methods. It also means he'll tell you honestly what a tree needs, even if that answer is less work than you expected, or more.

What ISA Certification Actually Means for You

Many tree companies will send a crew and a chainsaw. A certified arborist brings a different level of assessment to the job. One that considers the long-term health of the tree, the safety of your property, and the right technique for the situation. For homeowners, that means fewer problems down the road. For commercial clients, it means documented expertise and accountability on every project.

Your Certified Arborist Oversees Every Single Job

This isn't a company where the owner takes your call, writes up a quote, and hands the job off to anyone with a chainsaw. Jeff assesses every project and guides our highly trained team, ensuring everything is done to our highest standards before the crew packs up and leaves.

Our clients notice. Reviewers consistently mention that Jeff walked the yard with them, explained what we were doing and why, took the time to answer every question without rushing, and made sure they were fully satisfied before calling the job complete.

That level of involvement isn't the norm in this industry.

At Leaf Tree Services, it's simply how we do things.

The Team

Behind Jeff is a crew that shows up in blue shirts and helmets, works hard, and takes the job seriously. They're trained to follow proper technique on every cut, not just get through the work quickly. 

This is why our reviewers regularly mention our crew's professionalism, work ethic, and their practice of leaving every property cleaner than they found it. When we leave, the debris is gone, your yard is tidy, and our work speaks for itself.

What Our Clients Are Saying

  • “Jeff, a certified arborist with extra training and lots of experience in the area, fit me into his schedule and showed up promptly, on very short notice. We did a walk-through of the property, advising on what trimming was most beneficial and helping me understand things to look for as potential problems with tree health. We picked a few trees that merited attention and a proposal for trimming followed. When the crew came out, at the expected time, we confirmed the work to be done before they started. Trimming was well done, quickly, per my requests. Tree canopies look noticeably better, appreciate their attention to balancing their cuts.”

  • “Jeff with Leaf Tree Service responded very quickly to our need. We were under a time frame imposed on us by the city. Jeff's crew was able to fit us in and prevented us from being fined. They took the extra steps to ensure the trees would not sprout up & ground the stumps to ensure mowers could keep area maintained. The city inspector wrote an email praising the quality of the job. The care in which jeff's crew took while clearing this brush was amazing & the remaining trees in this area look fantastic. Highly recommend Leaf Tree Service. In fact I am using them each quarter to maintain the other trees on our property. Quality work at a fair price, which is hard to find these days.”
