Two kinds of Brookshire removal

Brookshire is a small Waller County town, incorporated in 1946, with country all around it. A Texas neighborhood guide describes older homes on smaller lots in the south and central parts of town, newer subdivisions to the north, and multi-acre rural lots on the outskirts. Removals here fall into two broad types.

Town lots. A tree between the house, a carport and the neighbor’s fence has to come down in pieces. The crew climbs it, cuts the crown in sections, and lowers each one on a rope to a ground crew, then takes the trunk down in short rounds.

Acreage. On open land the tree may be felled whole in a chosen direction, but there are other problems: a long carry to the road, several dead trees spread across a pasture, a big pecan or live oak with a crown wider than a house, or a tree tangled in a barbed-wire fence. Planning focuses on how equipment reaches the tree without rutting soft ground and where the wood ends up.

Check the rules first

No Brookshire tree permit rule was confirmed for this page. The city’s subdivision chapter, which covers park dedication and screening walls, does not set tree rules, but that is only one chapter. Before a large tree comes out inside city limits, check with the City of Brookshire. Outside the city, ask Waller County. Newer subdivisions with an HOA may also restrict front-yard removals. Sticks can provide the species, trunk size and the reason for removal in writing for any request.

Trees along drainage ditches are common in this flat country, and the Brookshire Katy Drainage District has its headquarters in town. If a tree is on a ditch bank you do not own or maintain, talk to whoever does before removal.

The removal, step by step

  1. Walk the site. Tree size, lean, dead wood, and anything in reach: house, barn, fence, well house, lines.
  2. Choose the method. Felling where there is room; sectional lowering where there is not.
  3. Bring it down. Following the plan, with a ground crew controlling every piece.
  4. Handle the wood. Hauled away, cut into firewood rounds, or stacked on the property if you want it.
  5. Finish the stump. Cut low; see stump grinding in Brookshire to take it below grade.

Oak wood on rural land

On acreage, removed wood often gets moved to a burn pile or another part of the property, or given away as firewood. If the tree is an oak, the Texas A&M Forest Service warns that moving unseasoned oak firewood can spread oak wilt, so keep oak wood on the property where the tree came down until it has seasoned.

What goes into the quote?

  • Tree height, trunk width and crown spread
  • Felling versus climbing and lowering
  • Distance from the road and how equipment gets to the tree
  • Number of trees and how spread out they are
  • Fences, buildings and lines close to the tree
  • What happens to the wood and whether the stump is ground

Frequently asked questions

Can Sticks remove a tree tangled in a pasture fence?

Yes. The crew cuts the tree away from the wire in pieces. Expect the fence to need repair where the tree had grown into it.

Can several dead trees across my Brookshire acreage come down in one visit?

Usually, yes. A single walk of the property can list every tree, and they can be scheduled for the same work day or days.

Can I keep the wood after a removal on my land?

Yes. It can be cut into firewood rounds and stacked where you choose. Keep oak wood on the property.

Will trucks rut my field?

The crew picks the firmest route to the tree and may wait for dry ground when a field is soaked.

Do I need permission to remove a tree on a ditch bank?

If you do not own or maintain the ditch, yes, talk to whoever does first. On your own land, check city or county rules as for any large tree.

Is a large pecan worth saving instead of removing?

Often it is. If the trunk and roots are sound, removing dead limbs may be enough. The crew will tell you which way the tree points.
