Ask any tree removal company these six questions

We read the 1-to-3-star Google reviews of 88 Arkansas clearing and tree companies, and 172 of them were about the work itself. Tree crews drew most of the complaints. These six questions cover what tree removal buyers fear most, and each answer is a promise the person running your job carries out.

  1. 01

    What if a tree comes down on my fence or a line?

    21 of 172 reviews: damage the crew wouldn't own

    If we damage anything (a fence, a gate, a line, a culvert), we tell you before we leave that day, and the fix goes in writing.

  2. 02

    What happens to the trunks, limbs, and stumps?

    38 of 172 reviews: brush, grindings, or stumps left behind

    Your written quote says what happens to every bit of cut material: mulched in place, piled, or hauled away. It also says how the stumps will be left: ground level, below grade, or removed.

  3. 03

    Will you mark the trees I want to keep?

    17 of 172 reviews: the crew did different work from what was agreed

    Before the machine starts, we walk and flag the boundaries and anything you want saved, or send you photos of them.

  4. 04

    Will the price change once the trees are down?

    12 of 172 reviews: the price changed with nothing in writing

    You get a written quote before any work. It lists every charge, travel included. The price changes only if you approve the change in writing first.

  5. 05

    Who calls me back?

    61 of 172 reviews: the crew stopped answering

    Every call or text gets a call back the same working day, from the person running your job.

  6. 06

    Are you insured?

    4 of 172 reviews: insurance asked about or missing

    We carry liability insurance and send the certificate on request.

Quick answers about tree removal

What Arkansas landowners ask Google before they hire someone to take trees down. Each answer starts with the answer.

How long does it take to remove a big tree?

It depends on the tree, what stands around it, and where the wood goes, so we won't guess at hours over the phone. Mark's Arkansas Land Clearing Service walks the land first, and your written quote comes with a start week. If the weather moves it, we call you.

What kind of insurance should a tree removal company have?

Liability insurance at the least, and you should see the certificate before the machine starts. Mark's Arkansas Land Clearing Service carries liability insurance and sends the certificate on request, so you can check it with your own agent.

Will insurance pay for tree removal?

It depends on your policy, so ask your insurance company before work starts. Mark's Arkansas Land Clearing Service gives you a written quote before any work that lists every charge, travel included, so you have the numbers in hand for that call.

How to remove small trees from property?

A few saplings come out by hand or with a saw. A stand of small trees across a pasture or a lot is machine work. Mark's Arkansas Land Clearing Service has the equipment for any land clearing or earth-moving job, and the estimate is free.

Over 20 years of machine work on Arkansas land

Mark's Arkansas Land Clearing Service is fully licensed and insured, and the certificate goes to you on request.

We have the equipment for any land clearing or earth-moving job. The trees, the stumps, and any grading after them stay with one crew, and the estimate is free.

We work statewide from three Google listings: Hindsville, Greenbrier, and Hot Springs. Our lines are open 24/7, and the crew comes to your land.

How a tree removal job goes, from your call to the walkthrough

Six steps, in order, and what you see at each one.

  1. 01

    A call back the same day

    Every call or text gets a call back the same working day, from the person running your job. If we can't take your job, we say so on the first call.

  2. 02

    We walk the trees with you

    You point out the trees that go and the ones that stay. Before we quote, we tell you what the ground will look like the day we leave.

  3. 03

    Your quote, in writing

    You get a written quote before any work. It lists every charge, travel included. Your quote comes with a start week.

  4. 04

    Two calls, then flags

    We call the day before, and again when the crew pulls in. Before the machine starts, we walk and flag the boundaries and anything you want saved.

  5. 05

    The trees come down

    If the ground is too wet to work without rutting, we tell you and reschedule. Any ruts we make are smoothed before we leave.

  6. 06

    Walkthrough, then payment

    We walk the site with you before we call the job done. Final payment is due after the walkthrough. Every payment gets a receipt.

Tree removal on lots, pasture, and acreage

Our tree removal is machine work on open land, from one dead oak in a pasture to a stand of pines on a building lot. It isn't climbing or bucket-truck work on a tree hanging over a house roof. If that's your tree, call and describe it: if we can't take your job, we say so on the first call.

  • Skid steer pushing red clay through standing woods

    Trees on a lot to build on

    Trees come off a house site, a shop pad, or a driveway path, so the site prep and dirt work can start. Taking the brush and everything else off the lot too is land clearing.

  • Wheeled tree harvester gripping and cutting a pine in a thinned pine stand

    Pine and hardwood stands

    A stand of pine or hardwood thinned out or taken down, with every tree you flag left standing.

  • Felled log lying on cleared red dirt in front of a pine tree line

    Dead, leaning, and fallen trees

    Dead trees, leaners, and trees already on the ground, cut up and mulched, piled, or hauled away, as your quote says.

  • Pasture edge with a mixed line of pines and hardwoods

    Fence rows and field edges

    Trees grown into a fence row or crowding a pasture, cut back to the line you flag. For cedar thickets and underbrush on their own, see brush removal.

  • Red and white excavator with a mulching head clearing brush on a steep hillside among tall pines

    Trees on steep ground

    Wooded hillsides and ridges, with the trees you want gone taken down and the rest left on the slope.

Tree removal, land clearing, or stump grinding

The three jobs overlap, but each one leaves your land looking different. Here is what each one takes off and what it leaves behind.

Tree removal

Takes off
The trees you choose, from one to a whole stand
Leaves behind
The trees you keep and the ground under them. Trunks and limbs are mulched in place, piled, or hauled away, as your quote says.
Stumps
Ground level, below grade, or removed, written on your quote
Fits
Dead, leaning, or unwanted trees on a lot, a pasture, or acreage

Land clearing

Takes off
Trees, brush, and stumps, all of it
Leaves behind
Open ground you can build on, graze, or drive
Stumps
Handled with the rest, the way your quote says
Fits
A building lot, a pad, a road, or pasture the woods took
Land clearing

Stump grinding

Takes off
Stumps left from trees that are already down
Leaves behind
Wood grindings in and around the spot where the stump stood
Stumps
Ground down, to the depth your quote names
Fits
A yard or field with old stumps in the way of the mower
Stump grinding

What your land looks like after tree removal

Tree removal takes out the trees you choose and leaves the rest. Three things decide how the ground looks the day we leave, and your quote settles each one before the machine starts.

  2. 2StumpsGround level, below grade, or removed. Your quote says which, and we check it with you at the walkthrough.
  3. 3Trunks and limbsMulched in place, piled, or hauled away, named on the quote for every bit of cut material.
Before we quote

Before we quote, we tell you what the ground will look like the day we leave and what it will need afterwards to keep the brush from coming back.

If we have to leave

If we have to leave before the job is finished, you get the return date before the crew leaves.

Arkansas rules that can touch a tree removal job

On the first visit we tell you which Arkansas rules may touch your job (burn bans, the 1-acre stormwater permit, septic permits) and who handles each. For tree removal, these three come up most.

  1. Buried lines

    The Arkansas Underground Facilities Damage Prevention Act requires people to contact Arkansas 811 before any digging. Pulling a stump out below grade is digging. Dial 811, and the utilities have two full working days to mark their lines. Work then starts within ten working days of the call.Source: Arkansas 811 (Arkansas One Call), ar811.org
  2. Burn bans

    County judges declare burn bans county by county, and a ban can start or lift any day. The Arkansas Department of Agriculture's Forestry Division shows every county on its fire danger and burn ban map. Owners who plan an open fire for their own piles of cut limbs check that map first.Source: Arkansas Department of Agriculture, Forestry Division
  3. Stormwater

    Taking trees off ground you're building on counts as construction. The Arkansas Division of Environmental Quality's construction stormwater permit, ARR150000, covers construction that disturbs 1 acre or more. At 5 acres or more, a Notice of Intent goes in at least 10 business days before work starts.Source: Arkansas DEQ, ARR150000 fact sheet, permit effective November 1, 2026

More tree removal questions

The rest of what landowners ask before the trees come down.

Read the guides
What time of year is best for tree removal?

Any time the ground is dry enough to carry the machines without rutting. If it's too wet, Mark's Arkansas Land Clearing Service tells you and reschedules, and any ruts we make are smoothed before we leave. Your quote comes with a start week.

How much does it cost to have a fallen tree removed?

It depends on the tree's size, where it fell, and whether the wood is mulched, piled, or hauled away, so the estimate is free and comes in writing. Mark's Arkansas Land Clearing Service lists every charge, travel included, and the price changes only if you approve the change in writing first.

Will a cedar tree grow back after being cut down?

No, not when it's cut below its lowest branches. University of Nebraska–Lincoln Extension calls eastern redcedar a non-sprouter. Before we quote, Mark's Arkansas Land Clearing Service tells you what the ground will need afterwards to keep the brush from coming back.

How to reduce the cost of tree removal?

Have every tree you want gone done in one visit, and decide up front what happens to the wood. Mark's Arkansas Land Clearing Service writes both into your quote: every charge, travel included, and whether the cut material is mulched in place, piled, or hauled away.
