Tree Removal at the South End of the County in Wells, TX

Wells, Texas, is a town of about 850 people at the southern tip of Cherokee County, where US-69 meets Farm Road 1247, twenty-three miles south of Rusk and roughly thirty-eight road miles, or forty-five minutes, from our shop in Jacksonville. It began in 1885 as a stop on the Kansas and Gulf Short Line Railroad, and lumber has been its business ever since, alongside farming and cattle. Wells ISD, founded in 1921, serves the town. This is the deepest pine country we work: loblolly stands on every side, sawmill and timber traffic on US-69, and yard trees that are frequently mature pines left over from the original stand. Ice storms and pine beetle both take a toll here, and a dead eighty-foot pine beside a house is the call we get most. Wells is the far end of our route, so we group it with Alto and Rusk work and still show up with the same written estimate.

Why a Jacksonville Crew Comes to Wells

Why Wells Chooses Us

The Far End of Our Route, Still Ours

Forty-five minutes is a real drive, and we make it. We group Wells jobs with Alto and Rusk so the schedule stays tight, and there is no mileage charge on your estimate.

Sawmill-Town Pines

Wells has been a timber town since 1885, and its yard trees are mostly mature loblolly pine. Tall, shallow-rooted and close to houses, they come down in sections from a climber or the bucket.

Beetle Kills and Ice Breaks

Dry summers bring southern pine beetle and hard winters bring ice, and both leave standing dead pines around Wells. We remove them before they fall on a roof, a truck or US-69.

Cherokee County, No Permit

Wells is in Cherokee County, which has no county tree ordinance, and no permit is needed to remove a tree on private land. Your written estimate is the only paperwork.

Common Questions From Wells

Do I need a permit to remove a tree in Wells?

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 Wells, we will suggest a quick call to the city office first. Details are on our permits page.

How soon can you get to Wells?

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.
