Do you offer Tree Removal in Conroe, TX?
Yes, Sticks Tree Service takes on removals in Conroe, the Montgomery County seat about 40 miles north of Houston. That includes gated April Sound, the riverside lots of McDade Estates on the West Fork of the San Jacinto, and subdivisions such as Stewarts Forest, Lake Creek Forest and White Oak Estates.
Piney Woods trees on every size of lot
Conroe sits in the southwestern Piney Woods. Loblolly pine is the most common tree and shortleaf pine is abundant, per the city’s Wikipedia entry. Pines grow tall and straight, which looks harmless until one dies or snaps and is long enough to reach the house.
Lot size changes the whole job. Grand Central Park lots range roughly from 3,400 to 14,000 square feet and Stewarts Forest from 6,000 to 15,000, according to a local real estate guide, while Red Oak Ranch is described as full of trees on 3 to 10 acres and Teaswood as large wooded lots up to 5 acres or more. On a small lot, a tall pine has nowhere to fall. On acreage, there may be room to fell it, but the walk from tree to truck can be long.
Floods, storms and soft ground
Conroe sits in the West Fork San Jacinto floodplain and had 500-year floods in May 2015, April 2016 and August 2017, when Harvey dropped nearly 32 inches of rain. In 2024 Montgomery County took Hurricane Beryl right after May flooding, and ABC13 reported large trees down county-wide with the River Plantation area hit hardest. A pine standing in soaked ground after a flood is worth a second look.
Does Conroe regulate tree removal?
Conroe revised its tree ordinance in 2018. Reporting on the change describes a 30 percent canopy requirement for developments, heritage trees over 28 inches, an urban forester and higher mitigation fees. That reporting reads as aimed at developers, and whether a homeowner needs a permit to remove a yard tree was not confirmed. Before removing a very large tree, call the City of Conroe, and check your HOA if you live in a deed-restricted section like April Sound.
How a Conroe removal is run
- Look and measure. Height, lean, decay and every target in reach.
- Choose the drop. Open acreage may allow felling in one piece; a small lot means climbing and lowering sections.
- Plan the route. On big lots, the crew picks the shortest firm path for wood so trucks stay off wet ground.
- Cut. Top down or base cut, per the plan.
- Clean. Brush is chipped, and wood is handled as quoted.
What goes into the quote?
- Tree count, height and condition.
- Lot size, distance to the truck and ground firmness.
- Rigging needed around houses, sheds, docks or fences.
- Whether wood leaves the property or stays as firewood.
- Any stump grinding in Conroe added on.

Frequently asked questions
Can a pine on my Conroe acreage just be dropped?
Sometimes. If there is clear ground longer than the tree is tall, and nothing in the way, felling may work. The crew decides after measuring.
Does the City of Conroe require a permit for my yard tree?
The 2018 changes read as developer-focused. A homeowner rule was not confirmed, so call the city before removing a large tree.
My pine started leaning after a flood. Is it safe?
A new lean after soaked ground is a warning sign. Keep clear of the fall path and call 281-373-1472.
Can several trees on a wooded lot be removed in one visit?
Yes. Multiple removals are planned together so the crew sets up once and works across the lot.
Do you work in April Sound?
Yes. Check the community’s own rules on tree work and access hours first.
What about trees near the lake or the river?
Waterfront trees often lean toward the open side. The crew rigs them so pieces land on the yard, not on a dock or in the water.
