How close is Sticks Tree Service to Cy-Fair?
Very close. From Lone Star College-CyFair on Barker Cypress Road, a public route planner puts the office about 7 miles and 14 minutes away: east on Tuckerton Road about 3 miles, north on Telge Road about 2 miles, then right on Cypress North Houston Road. From the FM 1960 and Jones Road side it is a straight run west on Cypress North Houston Road. That short drive is why Cy-Fair jobs fit easily into the day, including small ones like a single stump or one dead limb over a roof.
What is Cy-Fair, and what are its trees like?
Cy-Fair takes its name from the old communities of Cypress and Fairbanks, and most people use it for the area served by the Cypress-Fairbanks school district, one of the largest in Texas. It is mostly unincorporated Harris County, built out subdivision by subdivision from the FM 1960 corridor westward toward US 290 and Barker Cypress Road. Familiar landmarks include Lone Star College-CyFair and the Berry Center on Barker Cypress Road, and Cypress Creek winding across the north side.
That build-out pattern shows in the trees:
- The older subdivisions near FM 1960 and Jones Road have tall loblolly pines and water oaks that were planted, or left standing, when the houses were new. Many now stand well above the roofline and lean over the house.
- The middle-aged neighborhoods between Jones Road and Barker Cypress have live oaks and Shumard oaks in their prime, which need thinning and clearance more than removal.
- Newer streets toward US 290 have young planted trees that benefit from structural pruning while they are still small.
- Along Cypress Creek and its tributaries, lots back onto drainage channels and greenbelts where soft soil and creek banks change how a tree can be taken down.
What tree work do Cy-Fair homes need most?
Pines over the house
Big pines are the most common call in the older parts of Cy-Fair. A dead or dying pine is removed in sections, lowered by rope so it misses the roof and the fence. See tree removal in Cypress for how the crew does it.
Roof and gutter clearance
Oaks planted near the house reach the roof within twenty years. A clearance trim takes limbs back from the shingles and gutters and lifts low limbs over the drive. See tree trimming in Cypress.
Stumps from earlier removals
Many Cy-Fair yards still have stumps from trees cut after the 2024 storms. Grinding takes them below the grass line. See stump grinding in Cypress.
Storm damage
Cy-Fair sits low and drains to the creeks, and saturated clay is when trees go over. For a tree on the house, call 281-373-1472 and see emergency tree service in Cypress; for cleanup after a storm, storm damage tree removal.
Are there rules for trees in Cy-Fair?
Most of Cy-Fair is outside any city, in unincorporated Harris County, so tree work on a private lot is mainly governed by your deed restrictions and your homeowners association. Many Cy-Fair associations review front-yard tree removals and replacements. Read the restrictions or ask the association before removing a street-facing tree; Trey’s crew can give you the species, size and condition for the request. Jersey Village, on the southeast edge, is a separate city with its own rules: see tree service in Jersey Village.
When should Cy-Fair oaks be pruned?
Texas A&M Forest Service advises against pruning or wounding oaks from February through June, when the beetles that spread oak wilt are active. With so many live oaks and red oaks in Cy-Fair yards, plan oak pruning for late summer through winter and pine work any time.

Yes. It is climbed and taken down in sections, with each piece lowered by rope so it misses the roof and the fence.
Is Cy-Fair inside the City of Houston?
Most of it is not. Cy-Fair is largely unincorporated Harris County, so private tree work is mainly a matter of deed restrictions and the homeowners association.
Does my Cy-Fair HOA have to approve a tree removal?
Many associations review front-yard tree removals and replacements. Check your restrictions or ask before work is booked.
Can Sticks grind just one stump in Cy-Fair?
Yes. Because the office is close, a single stump or a small trim is easy to schedule.
My lot backs onto a drainage channel. Can the crew still work?
Yes. On creek and greenbelt edges the crew keeps equipment on firm ground and keeps brush out of the channel.
When is the best time to prune oaks in Cy-Fair?
Late summer through winter. Texas A&M Forest Service advises avoiding oak pruning from February through June because of oak wilt.
