Removals in pine country and on the lake

Montgomery sits where the Piney Woods begin, with rolling hills, Sam Houston National Forest nearby and Lake Conroe along its eastern edge, as one Houston real estate guide describes it. Two settings drive most removals here.

Tall pines near houses. Pines grow straight and high, and on a wooded lot a house may have several within reach of the roof. When one dies or splits, there is rarely room to fall it whole, so it is climbed and taken down in pieces.

Shoreline trees. Trees on a lake lot tend to lean out toward open water and light. Their roots sit in ground that the same guide says is more prone to flooding near the lake and small creeks. Taking one down means keeping every piece out of the water and off the dock, boat lift or seawall.

Signs a Montgomery tree should come out

  • A pine that has turned brown from the top down or dropped most of its needles
  • Bark falling away in sheets, or fungus growing at the base of the trunk
  • A lean that has grown worse, or soil heaving up on one side of the root plate
  • A trunk split or a large broken top after a storm
  • A tree standing where a new addition, pool or driveway is planned

How a lake-lot removal works

  1. Walk the shoreline. The crew lead notes the dock, lift, seawall, boathouse and neighbors’ property lines.
  2. Rig the tree. A climber ties in and sets ropes so limbs can be lowered toward land.
  3. Piece it down. Limbs come off first, then the trunk in short sections, each one controlled on the way down.
  4. Carry it out. Wood is moved across the yard on the path agreed to keep damage to the lawn and beds low.
  5. Finish. The stump is cut low. To grind it out, see stump grinding in Montgomery.

On larger lots with open ground away from the house, a tree may instead be felled whole, which is faster.

Is a permit needed to remove a tree in Montgomery?

No Montgomery city tree ordinance was confirmed for this page. Check with the city before removing a large tree. In communities with an active HOA, such as Woodforest, read the deed restrictions too. Conroe has its own vegetation ordinance, but it applies inside Conroe, not Montgomery.

After a storm on Lake Conroe

Hurricane Harvey dropped nearly 32 inches of rain on nearby Conroe in 2017. Wet ground and strong wind are when shallow-rooted or leaning trees go over. Atlantic hurricane season runs June 1 through November 30. Stay away from any tree on a power line and call the utility before anything else.

What goes into the quote?

The height and lean of each tree, how close it is to the house, dock or wires, whether it must be climbed and lowered or can be felled, how far the wood must be carried to the truck, wet ground near the shore, and cleanup.

Frequently asked questions

Can a pine that is right next to my roof be removed safely?

Yes. It is climbed and taken apart from the top down, with each piece lowered by rope so nothing lands on the house.

Will removal wood end up in Lake Conroe?

The plan is to keep it out. Pieces are tied off and swung back toward land rather than dropped toward the water.

What if a tree on my lot leans over a neighbor’s yard?

Let the neighbor know before the work day. The crew lowers wood on your side and plans around their fence and structures.

Can several dead pines on a wooded lot come down together?

Yes. A group of pines is often taken down in one job, which helps plan equipment and cleanup.

How do I know if a brown pine is really dead?

Needles that stay brown, bark loosening, and no new growth at the tips are strong signs. The crew can check it in person.

Does the Conroe tree ordinance apply in Montgomery?

No. Conroe’s rules apply inside Conroe. For Montgomery, check with the city before removing a large tree.
