Tree & Stump Removal in Tyler, TX

Dead pines, leaning oaks and the stumps they leave: dropped, cleared and ground below grade so the spot is usable.

Tree & Stump in Tyler

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 Tyler

Tyler is the Smith County seat and the biggest town in East Texas between Dallas and Shreveport, and it is growing outward in every direction at once. The city itself is roses, azaleas and old oaks, but drive ten minutes past Loop 323 in any direction and you are in the woods: loblolly pine, post oak, sweetgum and a yaupon understory on rolling red sand. That is the ground I clear. South Tyler is pushing hard down Old Jacksonville Highway and Hwy 155 toward Flint and Lake Palestine, Loop 49 has opened up acreage on the west and south sides that used to be too far out, and east of town the lots around Lake Tyler and Lake Tyler East keep changing hands. Most of the people calling me have just bought five or ten acres and found out the pretty woods in the listing photos are a solid yaupon thicket you cannot walk into. I mulch the understory so you can see your land, open a house pad and drive without flattening the pines, take out the dead and leaning trees, grind the stumps, and clear fence lines so you can finally put up a fence. Pricing is by the acre or the job, set after I walk it with you, and the number does not move once the machine is on your property.

Common Clearing Scenarios in Tyler

The land clearing jobs I see most around here, and how I handle them.

Acreage on the south side that was never cleared

The land selling along Old Jacksonville Highway, Hwy 155 and the new stretches of Loop 49 is mostly pine and post oak timber that has never been touched. Buyers want a house in the trees, not a bare pad. I open the footprint and drive, mulch the understory on the rest, and leave the big pines standing.

Red sand that washes the minute it is bare

Tyler sits on sandy, iron-red soil that ruts and gullies after a hard rain if you strip it. That is why I mulch rather than push and burn: the chip layer holds the sand in place on a slope and keeps a fresh clearing from becoming a wash by the first spring storm.

Lake Tyler lots grown shut

Lake lots on Lake Tyler and Lake Tyler East that sat unused for a few years are thick with yaupon and sweetgum right down to the water. Underbrushing opens the view and the shoreline back up while the oaks and pines that shade the lot stay put.

Tree & Stump in Tyler: FAQs

Do you work inside the Tyler city limits or only out in the county?
Both. In town it is usually a wooded lot in South Tyler or near one of the lakes that needs the understory cleared or a few hazard trees taken out. Outside the loops it is acreage. If a mulcher can reach it, I clear it.
What does it cost to clear an acre near Tyler?
Yaupon and light brush under mature pines is the cheapest kind of clearing, a few hundred dollars an acre and up. Thick second growth with saplings and small trees runs more. Large trees, stumps and tight work near a house are priced by the job. I walk the property first and you get the real number before I start.
Can you clear a homesite without taking down all the pines?
That is the whole point of working with a mulcher instead of a dozer. I open the house pad, the drive and the septic area and mulch the understory everywhere else, so you end up with a house in the woods rather than a sand lot with a house on it.
Do you grind the stump or pull it out?
I grind. Grinding takes the stump below grade quickly, leaves the surrounding ground undisturbed and is right for yards, single trees and most lots. Pulling root balls out whole is dirt work with heavier equipment, and if a pad site truly needs it I will tell you and point you to the right contractor for that step.
Can you take down a tree right next to my house?
Yes. Tight removals near a roof, a fence or a power drop are done in sections or dropped in a controlled direction so nothing gets hit. Show me the trees you are worried about when I walk the property and I will tell you straight how each one would come down.
Will the stump grow back after grinding?
Pine will not. Sweetgum and yaupon can throw sprouts from leftover roots for a season or two, and grinding deep stops most of it. If a sprout shows up, cut or spray it and it gives up. I will tell you which trees on your place are the ones to watch.
