I run Davis Tree Service right here in Montgomery, TX. When people call us, they usually have a specific goal: clean up overgrowth, remove dead limbs, get rid of a leaning tree, or just make the yard safe again. Our job is to get it done quickly and safely — without surprises or delays.
We’ve served this area for years. Whether you’re in downtown Montgomery or off the beaten path near Lake Conroe, you’ve probably seen our crew in the white trucks clearing brush, trimming oaks, and grinding stumps.
What We Mean by “Tree Service”
When we say tree service, we mean it all — not just removal. We handle everything trees throw at you:
- Trimming overgrown limbs
- Taking down dead or dangerous trees
- Cleaning up storm debris
- Grinding stumps below grade
- Emergency response after wind damage
These jobs may sound simple, but each property in Montgomery brings something new — different soil, different tree species, different access. That’s why every service we offer is based on the property, not a preset price.
Tree Trimming for Health and Safety
Trimming isn’t just about appearance. We trim trees to shape their growth, allow more light, and eliminate hazards. It’s about controlling the direction of growth and helping trees last longer without dropping branches.
We usually recommend trimming:
- Every 2–3 years for mature oaks and elms
- Annually for fast-growing trees like sweetgum or pine
- After storms, to catch cracked or leaning limbs early
We’ve trimmed trees along major roads and tucked behind ranch fences. The equipment changes, but the goal stays the same: safe, clean cuts that support healthy growth.
Tree Removal – When It’s Time to Let Go
Some trees just need to come down. Maybe they’re dead, maybe they’re leaning, or maybe they’re too close to power lines or the house.
We’ve removed trees from tight backyards, raised beds, and sloped lots. We use rigging, controlled drops, and mechanical lifts when needed.
What we don’t do is guess. Every removal is carefully planned:
- Where the tree leans
- Where it might split
- How close it is to structures
- Where our crew needs to stand
Most removals take half a day. Bigger trees or tricky locations can take longer, especially if they need to be climbed and dismantled in sections.
Stump Grinding for a Clean Finish
After tree removal, we almost always recommend stump grinding. It’s faster and less invasive than excavation and leaves a clean finish.
We grind stumps:
- 6–10 inches below grade
- Level with surrounding soil
- With debris hauled off or left as mulch (your choice)
In Montgomery’s clay-heavy soil, stumps can take years to rot naturally. Grinding speeds up the process and makes the area usable again.
Emergency Tree Services – Fast, No-Nonsense Help
After a storm hits, we get a flood of calls. Trees on roofs, trees blocking driveways, trees cracked halfway down the trunk.
Our emergency response team shows up with the equipment to remove hazards safely — chainsaws, lifts, ropes, and tarps. We clear fallen limbs, brace broken trees, and get people back inside safely.
Montgomery’s weather isn’t always gentle. Our area sees wind gusts over 40 mph in spring and fall storms, and when you’ve got 80-foot pines around your house, you want someone who knows how to respond.
How Our Costs Compare to the Time It Takes
To help Montgomery homeowners understand the difference between services, here’s a breakdown of average costs and completion times across our most common tree work:
Service Type | Avg Cost ($) | Time to Complete (hrs) |
---|---|---|
Tree Trimming | 250 | 2 |
Tree Removal | 750 | 4 |
Stump Grinding | 200 | 1 |
Emergency Service | 400 | 3 |
Some jobs come in below average; some go over. The number of trees, size, and access all factor in. But we’ll always give you a clear quote before work starts — no last-minute charges or guesswork.
What Makes Davis Tree Service Different
We don’t cut corners, and we don’t outsource. Every job is handled by our team — no subcontractors, no no-shows.
We’re based right here in Montgomery, so we know the layout. We know where the county easements are. We know how close you can cut near a septic field, or how to access a property without damaging a gravel drive. We’ve handled tree service for:
- Lakefront homes off FM 1097
- Horse properties near Lone Star Pkwy
- Wooded lots between Conroe and Montgomery city limits
We also understand the trees. Live oak, loblolly pine, sweetgum, red maple — each one grows and dies in its own way. You won’t find a cookie-cutter approach here. We treat every tree with respect and every customer with clarity.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you remove the entire tree including roots?
We remove the visible part of the tree and grind the stump down below grade. Full root removal is not standard but can be quoted separately.
Can I keep the wood or mulch?
Yes. We can leave firewood-length logs or mulch at your request.
Are you insured?
Yes. We carry general liability and workers’ comp. We’re also happy to provide proof before any job starts.
Do you handle permits?
In most of Montgomery, no permits are required for residential tree removal. If one is needed (in HOA-controlled neighborhoods, for example), we can help you get it.
How soon can you schedule?
Most jobs can be scheduled within a week. Emergency calls are usually handled same-day or next-day.
