Spring straddles Spring Creek, the line between Harris and Montgomery County, and our office sits on the Montgomery County side. Lots along Plum Creek Drive average well over an acre of woods. That means tall pines near houses, brush along back fences, and removals that need room to lower wood.
Local conditions
Spring Creek, acre lots and the pines between them
Spring Creek divides Harris and Montgomery County and runs through the northern part of Spring on its way to the West Fork of the San Jacinto River, west of Lake Houston. North of the creek, around Plum Creek Drive, lots average well over an acre and most of that ground is wooded. That is where our office is.
Big wooded lots change how a removal goes. There is often room to drop a pine down a clear lane, but there is also more tree to deal with: tall stems, wide root spreads and brush that has filled in underneath. A pine take-down here often pairs with clearing the brush along the back fence.
Dry years add beetle risk. Ips engraver beetles attack drought-weakened pines, and on a lot full of pines one infested tree puts the others nearby at risk. When fresh pitch tubes show up, we plan the removal and grind the stump before beetles move to the next tree.

What Spring acre lots usually need
- Removing a loblollySpring acre lots usually leave room for a felling lane, though pines near the house still come down in rigged sections.
- Brush removal in north HoustonWooded back acres fill in under the pines; hand cutting and haul-off clears it where a mulcher would tear up the yard.
- Getting rid of an old stumpSeveral pine stumps on one lot can be ground in a single visit, below grade, so mowing and planting can resume.
- Pine beetle inspectionDrought-stressed pines draw Ips beetles, and a walk around the lot for pitch tubes shows which trees need to come out first.
- Emergency tree removal in north HoustonStorm winds topple tall pines on soaked ground near the creek; we answer the phone 24/7 and make the site safe first.

Both. Spring Creek divides the two counties and runs through the northern part of Spring, so an address south of the creek sits in Harris County and one north of it in Montgomery County. Our office is on the Montgomery side.
Usually, yes. On a large lot we pick a felling lane through the gaps, or lower the top in sections when there is no clear lane, and we keep heavy equipment off the roots of the trees you keep.
Yes. We hand cut brush, saplings and vines, drag them out to the chipper and haul off the chips, or leave them as mulch if you want it. Larger tracts can go to a mulching head instead.
Watch it. Soaked soil lets a pine's root plate shift, so look for a new lean, cracked soil or lifted roots on the side away from the lean. Any of those means call, and keep people out of the fall zone.
