Tree removal in Champions, TX is done by Sticks Tree Service, the Cypress crew led by Trey Lamar. The Champions area is known for a mature oak and pine canopy over large wooded lots, and some of those trees stand close to houses, pools and fences. Call 281-373-1472 to have a tree looked at.
Do you offer tree removal in Champions, TX?
Yes. Sticks Tree Service takes trees down in Champions North, Champions West, Champions Centre, the original Champions streets around the golf club, and Champion Forest near FM 1960 and Highway 249. The crew comes east from its office on Cypress North Houston Rd. Most removals here are big, old trees that have died, split or started to lean.
Old canopy, close quarters
The area guide on HoustonProperties.com describes Champions as wooded, with generous setbacks and a lush canopy of mature oak and pine. Large lots help, but a tall pine or a wide oak can still stand where its fall line crosses a roof, a pool or a neighbor’s fence. Those trees come down in sections: a climber cuts from the top, each piece is tied off and lowered by rope, and the trunk is dropped only where there is room.
Water is part of the picture. The same guide says Cypress Creek forms the area’s northern boundary and that some parts collect water in heavy rain. A tree that starts to lean after a storm, with cracked or raised soil at its base, is worth a call the same week.
Rules to check before the saw
Wikipedia places Champion Forest in unincorporated northwest Harris County. The Harris County tree rules found for this page deal with trees in county parks and in county road or flood-control rights of way, not with private yards. Deed restrictions are a separate matter, and an HOA can set its own approval step, so check with the association before a front-yard tree comes out. Sticks Tree Service can supply the species, size and condition of the tree for that request.
Champion Forest has held bird sanctuary status since 1980. Owners who care about that may want the crown checked for active nests in spring before a removal is booked.

How a Champions removal goes
- Look and listen. Trey’s crew sees the tree, the lean, the targets under it and the way in from the street.
- Paperwork. The owner checks deed restrictions; the crew provides tree details if the HOA asks.
- Rig. Rope lines and a drop zone are set, and the truck and chipper park where the driveway allows.
- Top down. The climber removes limbs and the top in pieces, then the trunk is cut in rounds.
- Haul. Brush is chipped and the wood is hauled, unless the owner wants rounds left for firewood.
What goes into the quote?
For a Champions removal the quote turns on height and spread, which way the tree leans, what is underneath it, how the crew reaches it from the street and through gates, whether it has to be climbed and pieced down, and how much cleanup the owner wants. Stump grinding is a separate line.
