Tree removal in Gladewater, TX
On the Sabine River, 12 miles west of Longview.
Gladewater lies mostly in western Gregg County, with a southern part in Upshur County, and the Sabine River forms its southwestern border. The Texas and Pacific Railway founded the town in 1873. Its first oil well came in on April 7, 1931, and the population jumped from about 500 to roughly 8,000. The name probably comes from Glade Creek, a Sabine tributary that rises in an area called "the Glades." In 1995 the Texas Legislature proclaimed Gladewater the "Antique Capital of East Texas."

Tree work in Gladewater
Gladewater runs its own city services, so Longview's brush pickup and free compost drop-off don't cover it. Ask the City of Gladewater about limb collection and tree rules; for land in Upshur County outside city limits, ask the county.
If the tree stands on low or wet ground, say so when you ask for a quote, since how equipment reaches a tree shapes the plan. For storm damage, see storm and emergency trees.
