FAQ
Frequently asked questions about tree care in East Texas.
Tree removal pricing depends on the tree's size, location, and condition. Most residential removals in the Gilmer and Longview area range based on accessibility and complexity. We provide free, on-site estimates with no obligation — contact us for an exact quote.
Signs a tree should be removed include dead or hanging branches, visible rot or fungus, a leaning trunk, cracked bark, or roots lifting from the ground. If a tree is within falling distance of your home, driveway, or power lines, it's best to have a certified professional assess it.
Yes — Gab's Tree Service provides 24/7 emergency response across East Texas. We handle storm damage, fallen trees, split trunks, and blocked drives. Our crews are trained to work safely under pressure and arrive equipped to secure the scene quickly.
We are headquartered in Gilmer, TX and travel throughout East Texas including Longview, Tyler, Marshall, Kilgore, Henderson, Mount Pleasant, Pittsburg, Jefferson, Carthage, and surrounding communities. If you are unsure whether we cover your area, give us a call.
Yes. Gab's Tree Service is fully insured with general liability and workers' compensation coverage. We are also ISN drug and alcohol compliant. Certificates of insurance are available on request for homeowners, property managers, and commercial clients.
Stump grinding removes the remaining tree stump below ground level so you can replant, sod, or pave over the area. It prevents regrowth, eliminates tripping hazards, and improves your property's appearance. We offer stump grinding as an add-on to any removal job.
For standard jobs, we typically schedule within a few days of your approved estimate. Emergency and storm-damage calls are prioritized for same-day or next-day response. We'll always give you a realistic timeline when we quote the job.
