Tree & Stump Removal in Jacksonville, TX

Tree & Stump in Jacksonville

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 Jacksonville

Jacksonville is the biggest town in Cherokee County, about 30 miles south of Tyler on US-69, the old Tomato Capital with the Tomato Bowl downtown and Love’s Lookout on the ridge north of town looking out over miles of pine. Lake Jacksonville sits southwest of the city, US-79 runs east and west through it, and the land in every direction is deep East Texas timber on steep red clay hills. Cherokee County is thicker and hillier than Smith County: loblolly and shortleaf pine, red oak, hickory, sweetgum, and yaupon as dense as it gets. I clear homesites and drives on acreage off US-69 and US-79, underbrush lake lots at Lake Jacksonville, open up hunting and recreational tracts toward Rusk and New Summerfield, mulch fence lines and lanes on timber tracts, and clear hazard pines around homes before a storm does it. The clay hills here gully badly when they are stripped, so mulching in place is more than a preference. The chip layer holds the slope through the next hard rain, which a bare dozer cut never does. One operator, one machine, priced by the acre or the job after I walk the tract with you.
