Tree Removal in Magnolia, TX

A tree job in Magnolia is usually one of three things: a pine that has started to die or lean over the house, storm damage that has to be cleared, or a wooded lot that needs opening up for a build, a barn, a pool or a driveway. We handle all three in Magnolia and the towns around it, from a single tree to a full lot.

Pines over the house

The loblolly pine is the tree most Magnolia homeowners end up calling about. It grows tall and fast, and when one starts to fail, it is a lot of tall, heavy trunk leaning toward a roof. Pines that are browning from the top down, showing small blobs of pitch all over the bark, or dropping big limbs after a summer storm deserve a closer look. Some needle drop every fall is normal; read how to tell normal fall needle drop from a pine that is in trouble.

A pine like that comes down in sections from the top so every piece lands where it should. You can see how a removal works from assessment to cleanup, including why pines are so often the tree that forces the decision.

Clearing a wooded lot to build

A lot of Magnolia building starts in the trees. Clearing is not just taking everything down. The trees you keep near a new house are the ones most likely to be hurt by construction, and a tree damaged by heavy equipment, fill dirt or a utility trench can take years to die, long after the house is finished. Before any equipment arrives, it is worth deciding which trees stay and how to protect them. We wrote it all down in clearing a lot to build: which trees to keep and how to keep them alive, and we'll walk the lot with you before the work starts.

Oaks: mind the calendar

Magnolia yards carry plenty of live oaks and water oaks. Texas A&M Forest Service asks Texans not to prune or wound oaks from February 1 through June 30, when the beetles that spread oak wilt are most active. Fall and winter are the safe stretch for oak work. Our oak trimming guide lays out the whole year month by month. A dangerous oak limb is the exception and can come off any time.

How we work

• A free on-site estimate. The owner walks the property, talks through your options, and gives you a clear written number before any work starts.
• Owner-supervised. Our owner has over a decade of experience and supervises every job.
• Our own equipment. We own the equipment for any size job, from one pine to a full lot.
• Stump grinding or full removal. Grind it below grade to re-sod or replant, or pull the stump and root ball when something is being built there.
• Full clean-up included. Wood and debris hauled off, the ground raked.

After a storm

A tree on the house, a split trunk or a hanging limb is an emergency. Get everyone clear, stay well away from any downed line (call 911 if a wire is down), and call (832) 423-6445 as soon as it is safe. We move emergencies up the schedule.
