Serving Mount Selman, Texas
About eight miles up US-69 from our shop, Mount Selman is the closest stop on our route.
Local & Insured
Mount Selman sits on US-69 in northern Cherokee County, Texas, right where Farm Road 177 comes in, and it is roughly eight miles from our yard in Jacksonville. That puts it under ten minutes away, so it is often the first or last stop of a workday for our crew. The community grew up in the 1880s as a railroad shipping point for peaches, plums and tomatoes, and the sandy loam that made those orchards work is the same soil that lets a loblolly pine or a red oak grow tall and shallow-rooted today. The ground here rises toward the Love's Lookout ridge just south of town, so many lots sit on a slope with trees leaning downhill toward a house or a fence. We climb and rig those rather than felling them whole, and we haul everything off the same day.


Removal, stumps, trimming and lot clearing, priced the same as they are eight miles south. Tree removal is the job we do most in Mount Selman; 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 Mount Selman
Mount Selman is the shortest drive on our list. When a storm limb is hanging over a roof, we can usually be looking at it the same afternoon instead of penciling you in for next week.
The rise toward Love's Lookout means a lot of yards slope, and a pine that has been leaning toward the low side for twenty years will not fall where you want it to. We take those down in sections from a rope or the bucket.
Sandy loam over clay grew peaches here a century ago, and it grows fast, tall pines now. Fast growth means shallow roots, and we check root plates for heave before anyone puts a saw to the trunk.
Mount Selman mails through Bullard and schools through Jacksonville ISD, and most of the calls we get here come from people who already know us from town. The estimate process is the same: written, free and in person.
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 Mount Selman, 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 in Mount Selman needs a second look or needs to come down, call or request a free estimate. Every estimate is written, free, and given in person by a crew that answers the phone.
