Tree & Stump Removal in Canton, TX

Tree & Stump in Canton

Clearing land in East Texas means dealing with trees, and trees leave stumps. I take out trees that are dead, leaning, storm-damaged or standing where a house, a drive, a fence or a pond needs to go, and I grind the stumps so you are not left with a yard full of root balls that sprout, rot and wreck a mower. Around Tyler that is mostly loblolly pine killed by beetles or lightning, water oaks and sweetgums that come down or crack in spring storms, and post oaks in the way of a build. I handle single hazard trees close to a house, the trees inside a building footprint on a lot clearing job, and the leftover stumps from an old fence line or a half-finished clearing somebody else walked away from. A stump is not just ugly. Sweetgum and yaupon resprout from it, pine stumps draw termites toward a house as they rot, and you cannot mow, grade or pour over it. The tree and the stump go together so the ground is actually clear.

Land clearing in Canton

Canton is the Van Zandt County seat on I-20, 35 miles west of Tyler, and most of Texas knows it for First Monday Trade Days, the enormous monthly flea market that fills the north side of town. The rest of the month it is a quiet courthouse town surrounded by ranch and acreage country along Hwy 19, Hwy 64 and Hwy 243, with Mill Creek Lake on its south side. This is the western edge of the piney woods. The ground is sandy loam and the trees are post oak, hickory and scattered pine, and the brush that takes over a neglected place here is eastern red cedar, greenbriar and sweetgum rather than the solid yaupon of Smith County. I clear homesites and drives for people building around Canton, mulch cedar and brush off pasture that has grown shut, clear fence lines and property lines on ranchettes toward Edgewood, Ben Wheeler and Grand Saline, and open up wooded tracts people bought for the weekend. Cedar is good news for a landowner: it grinds easily and does not grow back from the stump, so a mulched pasture stays clear with a little shredding. One operator, one machine, priced by the acre or the job after I walk the place with you.
