Tree Removal in Spring, TX

On most Spring lots a tree cannot simply be felled. There is a house on one side, a fence on another, and a neighbor’s roof somewhere in reach, so removal usually means taking the tree down in pieces.

Why removals here are sectional

Spring subdivisions from the 1970s on were built on suburban lots, many under trees that were there first. A mature pine or oak is often taller than the distance to the house, the fence and the property line. A crew in that situation takes the crown and trunk down in controlled sections, lowered on ropes or lifted out with a crane or bucket truck, rather than dropping the tree whole.

That is why two quotes for “the same tree” can differ so much: they may be proposing different methods.

ZIP code 77379, which takes in Gleannloch Farms and part of the Champion Forest area, has more homes built in the 1990s than in any other decade (8,091), and the 1970s are second (6,326). That puts a large share of its houses among trees that have had thirty to fifty years to grow over them.

What to Settle Before the Crew Arrives

  1. 1

    Approval

    Deed-restricted subdivision? Ask the association in writing first.

  2. 2

    The line

    If the tree is near the service line to the house, who handles it.

  3. 3

    Access

    Gate width, cars out of the drive, pets inside.

  4. 4

    The stump

    Ground out, cut flush, or left for later.

  5. 5

    The wood

    Hauled, chipped, or cut to firewood length and left.

  6. 6

    The cleanup

    Rake-out, blower on the roof and gutters, ruts repaired.

If any part of the tree is on or touching a wire, the first call is CenterPoint Energy, and 911 if anyone is in danger. The utility tells customers to stay at least 35 feet from a downed line and never to trim around energized lines.

This page describes what a crew does so you can compare quotes. It is not a guide to doing it; a tree coming down near a house is a job for a crew with the equipment.

  1. How long does a removal take?

    A small tree in an open yard can be a few hours. A large tree over a house can be a full day or more. The company will say when it quotes.

  2. Will the truck damage my lawn or driveway?

    Ask. Heavy equipment on wet clay leaves ruts. Some companies use mats or smaller machines; some wait for dry ground.

  3. Is the stump included?

    Not unless the quote says so. Removal and stump grinding are often separate lines.

Tree Has to Go?

Tell the company what it is near. That decides the method, and the method decides the price.
