Local & Insured
Arp, Texas, is a town of just under 900 people in southeastern Smith County, on State Highway 135 and the Union Pacific line, with Kickapoo Creek running just south of town. It is about twenty-six road miles, or forty minutes, from Jacksonville by way of Troup, which makes it the northeastern edge of where we work. Arp ISD serves the town. Arp was a tomato-shipping and oil town in its day, peaking at about 2,500 people in the 1930s, and its older streets still carry the big shade trees planted in that era, pecans and oaks that now overhang houses and lines. Outside town the land is pasture, creek bottom and pine. Kickapoo Creek bottomland grows heavy hardwoods that lean as the bank erodes, and the pine ridges lose tops to ice every few winters. Because Arp is at the edge of our route, we batch its estimates with Troup and Whitehouse work.


Tree removal, stump grinding, trimming and land clearing at the northeast edge of our service area. Tree removal is the job we do most in Arp; stump grinding, tree trimming and land clearing ride on the same truck, with the same insured crew and the same East Texas price ranges you will find on every page of this site.

General removal, storm and emergency damage, and dead, leaning, or beetle-killed trees, taken down in sections and hauled away the same day. See the full details, including typical pricing →

Grind a stump below grade once the tree's down, so it's not a mower hazard, a tripping risk, or a home for the next round of termites and ants. See the full details, including typical pricing →

Hazard-limb removal, deadwooding, storm-prep thinning, and clearance pruning off the roof, the driveway, and the street — no permit needed. See the full details, including typical pricing →

Why a Jacksonville Crew Comes to Arp
Forty minutes is our longest regular drive, so we group Arp estimates and jobs with Troup and Whitehouse. You still get the Jacksonville price; you may wait a day or two longer for a non-emergency visit.
Kickapoo Creek undercuts its banks and the big hardwoods along it start to lean toward the water or the yard. We remove those before the next high water finishes the job for you.
The pecans and oaks planted when Arp was an oil town are now the biggest trees in the yard and the closest to the house. We rig them down in pieces and keep every limb off the roof and the service drop.
Pine tops snap under ice in Arp every few winters. We clear hangers first, then take out the broken standing pines that will not recover.
Not on private property. Cherokee, Smith, Anderson and Henderson counties have no county tree rules, and none of the towns we serve publishes a tree-removal permit requirement. Jacksonville's own code only asks that nothing overhang a public street below 12 feet, and we handle that clearance as part of the job. If your tree touches a city street or alley in Arp, we will suggest a quick call to the city office first. Details are on our permits page.
For a hanging limb or a tree on a roof, call (903) 555-0147 and we will give you a same-day or next-day answer. For a routine removal, Reyna usually books the estimate within a few days and the work within a week or two, depending on the season. Spring storm season (March through May) is our busiest stretch.
If a tree on your Arp property needs a professional look, call or request a free estimate. Every estimate is written, free, and given in person by a crew that answers the phone.
