And remember, if your trees need a little TLC this spring, we’re here to help! 🌿

Wishing all the wonderful moms a day as beautiful as the nature they inspire us to protect! 💚

When Clear Cutters launched in 2023, it started with a straightforward mission: protect, restore, and beautify East Texas. That's not a slogan on a truck. It's the actual reason the company exists.

East Texas has a distinct character. The land matters here. The trees, the pines, the pastures, and the backyards of Tyler and Kilgore and Longview are part of what makes this place worth taking care of. Clear Cutters isn't a franchise crew passing through for storm season work. It's a family-owned business based here, operating here, and invested in the communities it serves.

That shows up in how jobs are handled: honest pricing before work begins, clear communication about what's being done and why, and a crew that treats your property the way they'd want someone to treat theirs. No guesswork, no gimmicks.

East Texas has enough fly-by-night outfits after every storm. Clear Cutters is the alternative. Call 903-805-9619 or visit clearcutterstx.com to schedule.

When it comes to hiring local businesses, what matters most to you: price, reputation, how long they've been around, or something else?

East Texas has a lot of pine trees, and right now many of them are carrying stress from last season into this one. Drought conditions reduce a pine's ability to produce the resin it uses as a natural defense against bark beetles. When that defense is down, beetle populations that might normally do limited damage can attack and kill a weakened tree quickly.

The signs to look for: reddish-brown or yellowing needles that stay on the tree rather than dropping (a sign of rapid death rather than normal needle shed), pitch tubes on the bark that look like small globs of sap mixed with boring dust, and a transition from green to yellow-brown that starts at the top of the tree and moves downward. Trees in that condition almost never recover.

The important thing about pine beetle damage is that quick removal protects the trees around the affected one. Active infestations can spread to neighboring pines, so a tree that's already past saving is better addressed promptly. If you've got longleaf, loblolly, or shortleaf pines in Tyler, Kilgore, Lindale, or anywhere in East Texas that look off, it's worth a look before the problem spreads further.
