Tree & Stump Removal in Van, TX

Tree & Stump in Van

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 Van

Van is a small Van Zandt County town on I-20 between Lindale and Canton, best known for the Van oil field that was discovered under it in 1929 and still has pumpjacks nodding in the pastures around town. Hwy 110 runs north from the interstate through Van, FM 314 runs south toward Edom, and the land on all sides is a mix of sandy pasture, post oak and pine woods, and old lease ground that nobody has cleared since the oil boom. It is cheaper than Lindale and Tyler and an easy run to Dallas on I-20, so acreage around Van is moving. I clear homesites and drives for people building out here, mulch understory on wooded tracts off Hwy 110 and FM 314, clear fence lines and reopen lease roads and pipeline rights-of-way on old oil field acreage, and take back pasture that has gone to sweetgum, briars and cedar. The ground is sandy and the brush comes back fast, so I lean on mulching: it clears everything in a pass, leaves chips on the ground instead of bare sand, and costs less per acre than a push-and-burn clear. Per-acre or per-job price, set after I walk the tract with you.
