Seniors can get free tree removal assistance through local non-profit organizations, community service programs, and city-sponsored initiatives designed for elderly homeowners.

FEMA will pay for tree removal in Texas if the tree damage was caused by a federally declared disaster and the tree poses a safety hazard by blocking access to your home or damaging your primary residence. However, FEMA does not cover tree removal for aesthetic purposes or for trees that fell without causing structural damage to your home.

To remove a tree yourself, start by assessing the tree’s size and surroundings to ensure it’s safe to cut without damaging property or injuring anyone nearby. Use a sharp chainsaw to make an initial notch cut on the side of the tree facing the direction you want it to fall, followed by a felling cut on the opposite side, slightly higher than the notch.
Once the tree is down, cut it into smaller sections for disposal, and be sure to wear protective gear throughout the process. For large trees or those near structures, it’s safer to consult a professional. Note that while DIY tree removal is not recommended due to serious safety risks, property damage potential, and liability concerns, small trees under 15 feet can be removed with proper tools and safety equipment. For any trees larger than this, or trees near structures, power lines, or other hazards, always hire a licensed and insured professional tree service to ensure safe removal.

We provide a range of stump management options to suit different needs and preferences. For a thorough solution, complete stump removal involves extracting the entire stump along with major roots, leaving the area backfilled with high-quality soil and ready for new landscaping. Alternatively, our stump grinding service grinds the stump down 6 to 12 inches below the surface, eliminating any visible roots. Mulch produced from grinding can either be left on-site or removed, based on your preference. For a less invasive approach, chemical treatment accelerates the natural decomposition of the stump; this option takes longer but is also more cost-effective.
Removing stumps offers several benefits, such as enhancing the property’s appearance, removing trip hazards, preventing new sprouts from growing, simplifying lawn maintenance, and potentially increasing property value.
