Sticks Tree Service takes down dead, leaning and storm-hurt trees on Spring home lots, from the wooded streets of Auburn Lakes and Windrose to the yards along Louetta Road in Cypresswood. Trey Lamar’s crew works out of the Cypress yard on Cypress North Houston Road. To get a tree looked at, call 281-373-1472.
Do you offer Tree Removal in Spring, TX?
Yes. Spring sits in unincorporated northern Harris County, and Sticks Tree Service removes trees across it: single pines over a roof, rows of dead trees on a back fence, and trees that came partly down in a storm.
Why do so many Spring trees end up needing removal?
Much of Spring was built into forest. HAR describes Auburn Lakes as a heavily wooded 500-acre community and Windrose as heavily forested on 1,121 acres, and Gleannloch Farms and Inverness Forest hold big trees too. When a tall tree that close to a roof starts to fail, taking it down in pieces is often the only safe choice.
Water is the other half. Community Impact reported Cypress Creek flooding reached about 1,700 Spring and Klein homes in the 2016 Tax Day flood and more than 8,700 homes along the creek in Harvey. Roots that sit in soaked ground lose grip. After Hurricane Beryl in 2024, Houston Landing reported the Texas A&M Forest Service estimate that about half of Houston-area urban trees were potentially affected, with saturated soil and shallow roots among the causes.
Harris County Flood Control plants loblolly pine, water oak, pecan, bald cypress and sycamore county-wide, and the same kinds fill Spring yards. A pine with a dead top or a water oak with a hollow base is a common call.
Does Spring need a permit to cut down a tree?
Spring has no city government. No Harris County permit for removing a tree on a private home lot turned up in research for this page, which is not the same as saying none is needed. Many Spring sections have deed restrictions, and some HOAs want approval before a front-yard tree comes out. Check with your HOA first; Sticks Tree Service can give you the tree details to send with the request.
How a Spring removal goes
- The look. The crew checks the lean, the roots and what sits underneath: roof, pool, fence, power drop.
- The plan. On a tight cul-de-sac lot the tree comes down in sections tied off with rope. On a deep wooded lot with open ground, part of it may be felled.
- Access. Where the truck parks, which gate the wood comes through, and how to keep tracks off a soft lawn after rain.
- The cut. Limbs first, then the trunk, lowered in pieces where anything is below.
- Cleanup. Brush is chipped and the wood is handled the way the quote says.
What goes into the quote?
- Height, trunk size, and whether the tree is dead, cracked or hung up on another tree.
- What it could hit: a roof, a neighbor’s fence, a pool or a line.
- How far wood travels to the truck, and whether the gate is wide enough.
- Whether the wood is hauled off, cut to firewood or left stacked.
- Whether the stump is ground the same day; see stump grinding in Spring.

Frequently asked questions
Can a dead pine in Auburn Lakes or Windrose wait?
A dead pine dries out and gets brittle, and limbs can drop in light wind. If it can reach a house, driveway or play area, have it looked at soon. The crew can tell you if it can safely wait.
My Spring yard flooded and now a tree leans. Is that a removal?
Often, yes. A new lean after soaked ground can mean lost root grip on one side. Watch for cracked soil or lifting roots opposite the lean, and call 281-373-1472 before it moves further.
Does my Spring HOA have to approve a removal?
That depends on the deed restrictions for your section. Ask your HOA before booking; the crew can supply the tree details they usually want.
Can the crew take a tree down between two houses in Cypresswood?
Yes. Narrow side yards are handled by climbing and lowering each piece on a rope so nothing drops on a roof or fence. It takes longer than felling, which shows in the quote.
Will the trucks tear up my lawn?
Parking and wood paths are planned first. After heavy rain the crew may carry wood by hand or wait for the ground to firm up.
Can Sticks Tree Service remove the stump too?
Yes, the same visit or later. Ask when the removal is quoted so the grinder comes along.
