In open ground, a tree can often be felled whole and pushed or cut up with heavy equipment. Close to a house, a barn or overhead lines, it may have to come down in sections with climbing or a bucket truck, which is a different kind of work and priced differently.
Felled, sectioned or pushed
Land clearing contractors usually handle trees with dozers, excavators or felling heads, which is efficient on acreage where there is room for the tree to fall. Trees near structures may be better handled by a tree service. Describe the setting honestly so the right kind of crew comes out.
Ask whether the price includes the stump, the root ball and the wood. Firewood, logs left on site and hauled debris are three different outcomes.
Lines, pine beetles and timber
Trees touching or leaning toward power lines should be handled through the electric provider first; ask them before anyone cuts near a line. Dead pines in groups can point to pine beetle activity, and the Texas A&M Forest Service has information on that. If you have a sizable stand of pine or hardwood, a consulting forester can tell you whether it has timber value before you pay to clear it.
Frequently asked questions
Does removal include the stump?
Not always. Ask whether stumps are cut flush, ground or pulled; see stump grinding.
Can I keep the wood?
Usually. Say so up front so the contractor leaves logs or firewood lengths in a spot you choose.
