Tree Service in Longview, TX
Seasonal pruning, storm cleanup, tree removal, and stump grinding across Longview and Gregg County, with same-week scheduling and a crew that answers day or night when a limb comes down.
Timely reminders for protecting your trees before and after East Texas storms.
Longview sits in the Piney Woods, where tall loblolly pines and post oaks shade nearly every yard and take the brunt of every squall line. The best time to deal with a storm-damaged tree is before the storm arrives. Walk your property with this checklist and you will head into the season with fewer surprises off Judson Road and everywhere else.
Look up before the first big thunderstorm of the year. Scan for deadwood, cracked limbs, and branches that hang over the roof or the driveway. A dead pine holds its needles for a while, so a bare limb against a green canopy is worth a second look. Note anything leaning more than it did last season, and photograph it so you have a baseline if weather changes it later.
East Texas gets the occasional ice event, and ice loads a canopy with hundreds of extra pounds. A tree with co-dominant stems or included bark is the one that splits under that weight. Fall is the time to install steel cables and bracing rods on those weak unions. If you are not sure whether a union is sound, our tree trimming and pruning crew can assess it and reinforce it before the first freeze.
Once a storm passes, stay clear and read the damage from a distance. A root plate lifting out of the soil, a fresh trunk split, or a limb hung up in the canopy all mean the tree is still dangerous even if it is standing. Treat every downed line as live, keep kids and pets back, and call the utility before anyone approaches the tree.
Wood under tension is unpredictable. A storm-loaded limb can snap back, and a trunk can barber-chair when a cut releases it. Limbs resting on a roof need to be rigged and lowered, not sawed free. This is exactly the work a trained climber does under ANSI Z133 safety practice, and it is where a homeowner most often gets hurt.
When a tree is already on the ground blocking the driveway in 75604, you do not want to be searching for help. Keep a local crew on hand that answers day or night and can reach a same-day hazard. Save your inspection photos, get any removal in writing, and you will have clean paper for the insurance adjuster.

Addictionscience provides tree service in Longview, TX, from tree removal and structural pruning to stump grinding, cabling and bracing, plant health care, and the emergency storm cleanup that follows a hard line of thunderstorms. Our crews prune to ANSI A300 standards and climb under ANSI Z133 safety practice, so a leaning water oak gets the same careful plan as a stand of loblolly pines. We work the whole canopy that fills a Piney Woods lot, the post oaks, sweetgums, and pecans that shade a yard off High Street or out toward Pine Tree Road in 75605.
Tree work in Gregg County follows the calendar. Late winter dormancy is the window for most heavy pruning, when the sap is down and the cuts close clean before spring growth pushes out. Summer brings the squall lines and the straight-line winds that snap a weak union, and fall is when we cable co-dominant stems and thin dense crowns before the first ice event of the year loads them down. We plan each visit around the season so your trees head into the next storm stronger, not weaker, and a healthy pecan on Judson Road stays a shade tree instead of a hazard.
When a storm does drop a limb, the hours right after are the dangerous ones. A trunk with a fresh split, a root plate lifting out of the soil, or a cracked limb hung up in the canopy can give way without warning, and that is exactly when a homeowner gets hurt trying to help. We answer day or night for trees on roofs, drives, and fences from Marshall Avenue over to McCann Road, and we can usually reach a same-day hazard within hours. Call first, cut nothing, and let a trained climber rig the load down.
Cleanup is where a tree job is won or lost. We chip the brush, haul the wood, and rake the lawn before we leave, and our cleanup guarantee means the yard looks better than the debris pile the storm left behind. You get a written price before any saw starts, whether stump grinding is included spelled out plainly, and no pressure to remove a tree that still has good years in it. Property owners in Spring Hill, Green Acres, and Melrose keep our number in the drawer for that reason, near the ZIP 75604 line where the older canopy runs tall.
One local team for the full range of tree work, tuned to the East Texas calendar, from a winter thinning to a same-day storm removal.
We cover Longview and the surrounding Gregg County communities, plus the nearby towns along the US 259 and I-20 corridors. From the older canopy in Spring Hill to the newer lots out toward Hallsville, we work them all. When a tree is on the ground, we can usually be out the same day.

Tree pricing comes down to the size of the tree, how close it stands to a structure, and whether a crane or heavy rigging is needed. Stump grinding is commonly billed at $3 to $5 per inch of diameter. Storm and after-hours calls carry a premium for the response and the risk. The ranges below are typical for the Longview area, and we put the firm number in writing after a free on-site look.
Worried about a leaning trunk, a dead limb over the driveway, or a tree the last storm loosened? Call and we will walk your property, tell you honestly whether it can be saved or needs to come down, and put a clear price in writing. For a tree already on the ground, we respond day or night across Longview and Gregg County.
