Dead or hanging limbs
Bare, brittle branches and limbs hung up in the canopy are the first to come down in a wind — and the easiest hazard to remove before they do.
What sets Tree Service Longview Crew apart
Fifteen-plus years dropping big pines and oaks in tight East Texas yards, one crew that handles your job from the first cut to the last rake, and a hard rule that we don’t leave until the site is clean and you’ve walked it yourself.
Safety and rigging come first
A tree is only as safe as the plan behind it. We read the lean, the decay and the drop zone before a saw starts, then rope and rig each limb down in a controlled lower — never a hope-and-drop — when there’s a roof, fence or line in play.
For the big, hazardous removals we bring in a crane so heavy wood never travels over your house. Every job runs to industry safety standards, with the ground crew clearing limbs as they come.
When we’re done the chainsaws go quiet, the chipper gets fed, and the yard gets raked and blown clean.
Five questions worth asking first
A few pointed questions separate a real tree company from a guy with a saw and a truck. Before you hire anyone in Longview, ask:
- Are you licensed, and can I see a current certificate of insurance?
- Is haul-off and full cleanup included in this price?
- Will you grind the stump, or just cut the tree?
- Do you rig and lower limbs, or free-drop them?
- Who’s liable if a limb hits the house or a line?
Every job, one accountable crew
From a single overgrown crape myrtle to a storm-flattened lot, we do it all — and you deal with the same people start to finish:
| Service | Best For |
|---|---|
| Tree Removal | Dead, hazardous or crowding trees |
| Trimming & Pruning | Health, clearance, storm-proofing |
| Stump Grinding | Reclaiming yard, replanting |
| Storm Response | Fallen / hung-up trees, fast |
Plus land clearing, brush removal, cabling & bracing, crane work and arborist assessments — all under one roof.
Know the Warning Signs
When a tree needs a professional’s eyes
Catch these early and a prune or a cable can often save the tree. Ignore them and the next East Texas thunderstorm can put a limb — or the whole trunk — through your roof. Spot any one of them and it’s worth a free look.
A trunk that’s started to lean
A tree leaning more than it used to, especially with heaved or cracked soil at the base, can be losing its root hold and needs assessing right away.
Cracks or splits in the trunk
Deep vertical cracks, seams or included bark in a main fork are structural weak points that often fail under storm load.
Fungus, cavities or root rot
Mushrooms or conks at the base, soft hollow wood and dead bark patches point to internal decay you can’t see from the ground.
Storm-damaged or uprooted
Half-fallen, split or partly uprooted trees after a storm are unstable and unpredictable — a job for rigging and a crew, not a ladder.
Limbs over the roof or a line
Branches scraping shingles, blocking gutters or growing into the power drop are damage and outages waiting to happen.
The tree work we do — and when you need it
Removal when a tree is past saving, pruning when it isn’t, stump grinding to reclaim the yard, and a 24/7 crew for whatever the next storm drops. We match the work to the tree, not the tree to an upsell.
Tree Removal
When a tree is dead, dying, hazardous or simply in the wrong place, we take it down safely — rigging and lowering each section in tight yards, or craning out the big pines and oaks whole. Stump grinding and full haul-off round out the job.
RiggingCrane-assistedHaul-off
- Dead, leaning & hazardous trees
- Tight-access & near-structure removals
- Stump grinding available
Tree Trimming & Pruning
Proper pruning keeps a tree healthy, balanced and storm-ready. We deadwood, raise canopies off roofs, thin for wind and shape for looks — cutting to the right collar so the tree heals clean, never topping it.
DeadwoodingCanopy raiseThinning
- Healthier, safer, better-shaped trees
- Roof & line clearance
- Oak-wilt-aware timing
Stump Grinding & Removal
That leftover stump is a trip hazard, a mower-killer and a sprout factory. We grind it 4–10 inches below grade, chase the surface roots, and leave you ready to replant, sod or pour.
Below-gradeSurface rootsReplant-ready
- Single stumps or whole yards
- Grindings hauled or left as mulch
- Tight-gate-access machines
Emergency & Storm Removal
When a storm puts a tree on your roof, drive or fence, we respond 24/7. We stabilize the hazard, lift or rig the wood off the structure carefully, and clear access fast — then handle the full cleanup.
24/7Roof & lineFast access
- Trees on homes, cars & fences
- Hung-up & uprooted trees
- Insurance-friendly documentation
Land & Lot Clearing
Building, fencing or just taking your acreage back? We clear trees, brush and undergrowth to the line you set, mulch or haul the debris, and leave a clean, workable lot for homeowners, builders and developers.
AcreageBrush & treesBuilder-ready
- Residential lots & rural acreage
- Fence lines & pasture reclaim
- Selective or full clearing
Crane-Assisted Removal
For the biggest, most dangerous removals — a massive pine over the house, a dead oak with no safe drop zone — a crane lets us lift heavy wood straight up and away from your home, faster and far safer than piece-by-piece rigging.
Heavy liftsNo drop zoneSafer
- Huge or hazardous trees
- Removals over structures
- Faster, lower-impact work

Beyond the Take-Down
The extras that finish the job right
Storm response, cleanup and an honest health check — the work around the work, handled by the same crew that drops your tree.
24/7 Storm Response
A tree on the roof at 2 a.m. doesn’t wait for business hours. We answer emergency calls around the clock across Gregg County.
Debris Haul-Off & Cleanup
Full cleanup is standard — we chip the brush, haul the wood, and rake and blow the work area clean.
Arborist Health Assessment
Not sure a tree needs to go? We’ll assess its health and structure and tell you straight whether to treat, prune or remove.
Want the smaller job if it’ll do? We’ll say so — a cable or a prune often beats a removal, and we’ll point you to whichever genuinely solves it.
Species and conditions suited to how East Texas grows
Longview sits in the heart of the Piney Woods, where dense loblolly and shortleaf pine grow up alongside post oak, water oak, live oak, sweetgum, pecan and hackberry. Those tall pines and heavy hardwoods are exactly what fail in a hard blow — so most of our work is keeping them pruned, balanced and storm-ready, or taking them down safely when they’ve gone too far.
That’s true whether you’re near the Sabine River bottoms, out toward Lake o’ the Pines, or in an established neighborhood around LeTourneau University and the Cargill Long Park trails.
Why we’ll try to save the tree first
A healthy shade tree is worth real money and decades of growth, so we don’t reach for the saw by default. Deadwooding, crown thinning, crown reduction and cabling & bracing can often stabilize a tree and buy it many more good years for a fraction of what removal and replanting cost.
When a tree is genuinely dead, hollow or hazardous, we’ll tell you plainly and take it down right. Either way, you get the honest call — and across an East Texas summer of thunderstorms, high winds and the odd ice storm, a sound, well-pruned canopy is the best protection your roof has.

Reviews
What East Texas homeowners tell us
“A storm dropped a huge pine across our driveway and they had it cleared the same day. Careful around the house, and you’d never know a tree had been there.”
“Honest crew — they talked us out of removing an oak and pruned it instead. Cleaned up every branch and ground the two stumps we did want gone.”
“Cleared a back lot full of brush and small trees for our build. Fair price, fully insured, and the site was builder-ready when they finished.”

Tree Service FAQ
Common questions
More questions about your trees? We’re happy to help — no pressure.
Call (903) 483-0062How much does tree removal cost in Longview?
It depends on the tree’s size, species, lean and how close it is to your house or power lines. As a rough East Texas guide, smaller trees under 30 feet often run $200–$650, mid-size trees $650–$1,500, and large pines or oaks over 60 feet anywhere from $1,500 to $6,000+ when a crane or heavy rigging is needed. Your free on-site estimate turns those ranges into one firm, written price.
Do you handle emergency storm damage?
Yes — we run 24/7 emergency response across Longview and Gregg County. East Texas spring storms, straight-line winds and the occasional ice event drop big limbs and whole trees onto roofs, drives and fences, and we prioritize anything blocking access or resting on a structure or power line. Call us the moment it’s safe and we’ll get a crew rolling.
Are you licensed and insured?
We are fully licensed and carry general liability plus workers’ compensation, and we’ll hand you a current certificate of insurance before any saw starts. Tree work near homes and lines is genuinely high-risk — hiring an uninsured outfit can leave a homeowner on the hook for damage or injury, so always ask to see the COI.
Do you grind the stump too, or just remove the tree?
Either way — your call. Stump grinding is a separate step, so we’ll quote it with the removal and you decide. We grind 4–10 inches below grade so you can replant or lay sod, and we can haul off the grindings or leave them as mulch.
When is the best time to trim or prune trees in East Texas?
For most Longview hardwoods, late winter dormancy (roughly December through February) is ideal — the tree heals fast and the structure is easy to read with the leaves off. Dead, broken or hazardous limbs, though, should come off any time of year, and we avoid heavy oak pruning in spring to reduce oak-wilt risk.
Do you haul away the branches and debris?
Yes. Full cleanup and haul-off is standard on our jobs — we rake the work area, blow off the drive and walks, and leave your yard cleaner than we found it. If you’d rather keep the wood for firewood or the chips for mulch, just tell us and we’ll stack or pile it.
Do you offer free estimates?
Always. We come out, look at the tree in person — not from a photo — and give you an honest, itemized, no-pressure written estimate across Longview and the surrounding cities. Seeing it on site is the only way to price lean, decay and access accurately.
