How we score

Every number on this page is computed from public Google data on the date shown, not from opinion or payment. Rating is the business’s live Google star average. Review volume is how many customers have rated them, ranked against other Houston tree services. Confidence weighs the rating by that volume, so a 5.0 from a few hundred reviews carries more weight than the same rating from a few dozen. Recency reflects how recently customers are still leaving reviews. No business can pay to change these numbers.

How much does tree service cost in Houston? (2026)

None of the businesses on this page publish a fixed local rate card, and tree work pricing depends heavily on tree size, location relative to structures, and whether stump grinding is included. We’re not going to guess a figure none of them state publicly.

Serving all of Houston

These tree services cover Houston and the surrounding metro, including Spring Branch, the Heights, Katy and beyond. Searching for tree service near me? Every listing below shows a live phone number and directions so you can reach the closest option fast, especially useful after a storm.

What to ask before you hire a tree service

Are you licensed, insured and bonded in Texas?
Is the quote a flat rate, and does it include stump grinding and full cleanup?
How quickly can you respond if this is storm damage or an emergency?
Will a certified arborist assess the tree, or just a removal crew?
What happens if the tree is close to power lines or a structure?

Frequently asked questions

How did you choose these tree services?

We started from every tree service in Houston with a public Google presence, then ranked by rating, review volume, consistency, and recency. See How we score above.

Are these rankings paid?

No. Rankings come from the public Google data in the scorecard. A business can pay to be a Featured Partner, which adds a badge and top placement, but that never changes another business’s score or position on the underlying data.

How often is this updated?

The data carries a verified date (August 2026 on this page). We refresh listings periodically so ratings and review counts stay current.

Do Houston tree services handle storm emergencies?

Several of the companies here, including Arborez Houston and K&R Tree Service Pros, describe fast same-day response after storms. Call and explain the urgency when you reach out.

Do I need a certified arborist, or is a standard removal crew enough?

For a straightforward removal, a standard crew is fine. If you’re trying to save a sick or damaged tree, ArborTrue’s certified arborists can diagnose the underlying issue before recommending a course of action.

The bottom line

OM Tree Service and RF Tree Service are both safe defaults given their perfect and near-perfect ratings across hundreds of reviews. For storm emergencies, Arborez Houston’s same-day response stands out, and for tree health questions specifically, call ArborTrue first.
