Tree & Stump Removal in Gilmer, TX

Tree & Stump in Gilmer

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 Gilmer

Gilmer is the Upshur County seat, about 35 miles northeast of Tyler where Hwy 155, Hwy 271 and Hwy 300 meet, a courthouse town famous for the East Texas Yamboree every October and surrounded by some of the heaviest pine timber in the region. Lake Gilmer sits northwest of town, Lake O’ the Pines is a short drive east, and the hills from Big Sandy up through Pritchett and Union Grove are loblolly and shortleaf pine, red oak and sweetgum on red sandy clay, with a yaupon understory and poultry houses tucked into the clearings. This is timber country first. The tracts I clear around Gilmer are hunting and recreational land, homesites carved out of family timber, pasture that was let go and has come back in sweetgum and pine seedlings, and long fence lines on ranch ground that have grown shut. I underbrush tracts so the owner can walk and hunt them, open homesites and drives while keeping the big pines, mulch sweetgum back off pasture, clear fence rows and lanes, and take out the storm-damaged and beetle-killed pines that lean toward a house or a chicken house. The clay hills gully when they are stripped, so mulching in place is how I work here. One operator, one machine, a per-acre or per-job price set after I walk the land with you.
