Tree Care & Removal Services in Houston, TX

Healthy trees boost curb appeal and shade—unsafe trees risk property and people. Swain’s Services, LLC provides professional tree care and removal across Houston, with careful pruning, hazard assessments, and low-impact removals that protect your home, roof, and landscape. We plan the work around wind, lean, structure, and nearby utilities, then execute with controlled rigging, precise cuts, and thorough cleanup.

We tailor the approach to each tree’s species and condition—selective thinning for airflow, crown reduction to clear structures, deadwood removal for safety, and full takedowns when a tree is failing or too close to the house. Stumps are ground below grade, chips are hauled (or left for mulch if you prefer), and the area is raked, leveled, and ready for new planting or sod.

Our process starts with a free on-site visit. We review targets (house, fence, pool), access, fall zones, and equipment needs, then provide a clear scope, price, and schedule. On the day of service, we set protection for turf, beds, and hardscape; use proper climbing/rigging or a lift where needed; and keep the site tidy from first cut to final rake.

David Wells

We have used Swain's services on two different occasions once to mulch and de-weed our front flowerbeds and a second time to install a sprinkler system. Sam and his team were quick and responsive when getting quotes and fairly priced! The instillation of the sprinkler system went smoothly with his team taking the care to maintain the integrity of our yard. We are extremely happy to have our sprinkler system in and thankful to Swain services for doing an excellent job. Would recommend to anyone!
