Professional tree removal involves assessing the tree's condition, then using climbing equipment or bucket trucks to safely dismantle it in sections from top to bottom. At Wilson Fellers Tree Service, we remove hazardous, dead, or diseased trees completely while protecting surrounding structures and landscapes.

Trees in Lufkin should typically be trimmed during late winter or early spring before new growth begins. Pruning during dormancy reduces stress on trees and allows them to heal faster. However, dead or hazardous branches should be removed immediately regardless of season.

Leaving stumps in the ground attracts termites, carpenter ants, and wood-boring beetles that can spread to healthy trees or structures. Stumps also create tripping hazards and prevent lawn care or landscaping. Professional stump grinding removes stumps below ground surface and backfills holes to restore your property.

Emergency tree services operate 24/7 to respond quickly when fallen or hazardous trees threaten property or safety. Response times vary by location and storm severity, but urgent situations involving blocking roads or structural damage receive priority. At Wilson Fellers Tree Service, we maintain rapid response capabilities for emergencies throughout Lufkin and surrounding areas.

Regular pruning improves tree health by removing weak, dead, or diseased branches that drain resources. It enhances sunlight penetration to lower branches and prevents disease spread while improving overall tree appearance. Proper trimming also reduces storm damage risk by eliminating unstable limbs.

Professional stump grinding typically removes stumps 6 to 12 inches below ground surface, which is deep enough to prevent regrowth and allow grass or landscaping over the area. The hole is then backfilled with wood chips and soil to level the ground and improve property appearance.

Tree trimming typically focuses on maintaining shape and appearance by cutting overgrown branches, while pruning targets tree health by selectively removing diseased, dead, or weak branches. Both services improve sun exposure and prevent disease, but pruning requires more expertise to identify structural and health issues.

Yes, dead trees become structurally unstable as wood decays and roots weaken, causing them to fall unpredictably during storms or even calm weather. Professional tree health assessments identify dead or dying trees before they become hazardous, allowing for safe removal with proper equipment.

Storm cleanup includes complete removal of downed trees, broken branches, and scattered debris after severe weather events. Services restore property appearance, protect lawns from damage, and eliminate hazards. At Wilson Fellers Tree Service, we clear debris completely and haul away all materials.

Signs of tree disease include discolored or wilting leaves, unusual growth patterns, bark damage, fungal growth, and premature leaf drop. Professional tree health assessments identify diseases, pest infestations, and structural problems early. At Wilson Fellers Tree Service, we provide treatment recommendations or removal advice based on severity.

Residential lot clearing involves complete tree removal, brush clearing, and debris cleanup to prepare land for construction or landscaping. The process uses professional equipment to clear vegetation efficiently while grading the site as needed. All removed materials are hauled away, leaving the property ready for development.

East Texas trees face high humidity, intense summer heat, and severe storm risks that stress root systems and create disease conditions. Regular pruning improves air circulation to prevent fungal growth, while health assessments catch pest problems common to Lufkin's climate before they spread.
