Local & Insured
Gallatin is a small incorporated town of about 320 people in central Cherokee County, Texas, at the junction of Farm Roads 22 and 768. It is only about nine miles from our shop in Jacksonville, but they are farm-road miles, so the drive is closer to twenty minutes than ten. The town grew up in 1902 along the Texas and New Orleans Railroad as a tomato-shipping point, burned in 1916 and rebuilt, and today it is quiet acreage lots, pasture and pine. Most of Gallatin is in Rusk ISD, with the north edge in Jacksonville ISD. What we see here is the classic East Texas mix: post oak and hickory in the yards of older homesteads, loblolly pine on the sandy ridges, and sweetgum wherever the ground stays damp. Big lots mean we can often fell a tree whole, but they also mean long drags to the chipper, and we plan for that before the crew arrives.


Four services, one local crew, written estimates every time. Tree removal is the job we do most in Gallatin; 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 →

Brush, small trees, and storm debris cleared off a lot or building site, with the haul-off or burn question sorted before we start. See the full details, including typical pricing →
Why a Jacksonville Crew Comes to Gallatin
Getting a bucket truck and chip trailer down FM 768 and up a sand driveway is part of the job in Gallatin. We look at the approach during the estimate so nothing gets stuck on the day.
Acreage lots let us drop a tree whole more often than in town, which lowers the price. The trade-off is a long drag to the chipper, and we bring the skid steer when the yard is big enough to need it.
The post oaks and hickories around older Gallatin homes are often the biggest trees on the place and the closest to the house. We climb and rig those rather than trusting a hinge cut on a tree that may be hollow.
Whether your address is Rusk ISD or the Jacksonville ISD sliver on the north side, the crew and the pricing are the same. Wade grew up in Rusk and has worked this stretch of the county since his line-clearance days.
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 Gallatin, 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 Gallatin place is leaning the wrong way, call or request a free estimate. Every estimate is written, free, and given in person by a crew that answers the phone.
