Tree & Stump Removal in Kilgore, TX

Tree & Stump in Kilgore

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 Kilgore

Kilgore sits on the Gregg and Rusk county line about 25 miles east of Tyler on Hwy 31, the town that the East Texas Oil Field built in 1930 and still wears it: the derricks of the World’s Richest Acre downtown, the East Texas Oil Museum at Kilgore College, and old lease ground on every side. Hwy 42, Hwy 135 and Hwy 259 run out of town through pine timber and pasture, I-20 and the Sabine River bottom are just north toward Liberty City, and the Rusk County side to the south is pine plantation and ranch country. The land here has a history under it: old well pads, lease roads, pipeline rights-of-way and tank battery sites that have grown shut with yaupon and sweetgum since the field slowed down. I reopen those roads and rights-of-way, mulch the brush off old pad sites so the acreage is whole again, clear homesites and drives for people building off Hwy 42 and Hwy 135, underbrush wooded tracts, clear fence lines on the ranch ground south of town and take out the hazard pines near homes. Sandy ground, fast-growing brush, and a lot of iron in the way means I walk every tract first, flag what matters, and price it by the acre or the job before the machine shows up.
