Serving Reklaw, Texas
Reklaw sits at US-84 and SH-204 on the Cherokee-Rusk line, about a half hour southeast of Jacksonville.
Local & Insured
Reklaw is a town of about 330 people on the Cherokee and Rusk county line in East Texas, where US-84 meets State Highway 204, roughly ten miles northeast of Rusk and about a half hour from our shop in Jacksonville by SH-204. The name is Walker spelled backwards, chosen in 1902 because the town was laid out on Margaret Walker's land and the name Walker was already taken. Reklaw is in Rusk ISD and grew up on the Texas and New Orleans Railroad, with a sawmill among its first businesses. The country around it is classic Piney Woods timberland: loblolly and shortleaf pine stands, post oak on the sandy rises and sweetgum and water oak along the creeks. Many properties here are wooded acreage with a house set well back from the highway, so clearing a home site, opening a fence line or removing a pine that has died to beetles is more common than the single-tree yard job.

Why a Jacksonville Crew Comes to Reklaw
Reklaw properties are often several wooded acres. We clear house sites, driveways and fence lines with a skid steer and chipper, and we know the burn rules: larger lots may burn brush on-site, smaller ones haul or chip.
Southern pine beetle hits the stands around Reklaw in dry years. A pine with fading needles and pitch tubes is dead already and dangerous within months. We remove them before they drop on a road or a roof.
Half of Reklaw is Cherokee County and half is Rusk County, and neither one regulates tree removal on private land. That means your written estimate is the only paperwork you need.
Reklaw is about thirty minutes from Jacksonville, and we come anyway, without a trip fee. We group Reklaw jobs with Rusk and Gallatin work so the schedule stays quick.
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 Reklaw, 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.
