Tree Service in Abernathy, TX

When people ask about Tree Service in Abernathy, they're usually dealing with a tree that was planted for a reason. In the early days, Wikipedia notes, most Abernathy homes had a windmill and kept livestock. Shade trees came later, planted and watered by hand on a plain with no natural tree cover. Those trees are now big, old and important to the homes they protect, and they need care to stay that way.

Two counties, one town

Abernathy is mostly in Hale County, with about a quarter of the town extending south into Lubbock County. That rarely matters for the tree work itself, but it can matter for things like which county office to call about a road or right-of-way. We work on both sides of the line and the price doesn't change because of it.

The weather here

Weatherbase figures on Wikipedia put Abernathy's average annual precipitation at about 19.4 inches, with August highs near 89.5°F and January lows around 24°F. Summer storms bring the risk. On May 22, 2026, storm chasers reported a dusty tornado six miles north-northwest of town, and a West Texas Mesonet station six miles east-northeast recorded a 58 mph gust on June 2, 2025, and again on February 17, 2026. Gusts near 60 mph break dead limbs and split weak forks on large trees.

What we're asked to do in Abernathy

• Taking out dead or dying trees near houses and garages
• Cutting back limbs that rub the roof or hang over the street
• Clearing broken limbs after storms
• Removing old windbreak trees that have started to fall apart
• Stump grinding so yards can be leveled and seeded
• Pruning young trees so they grow into strong shapes

Where the wood goes

The City of Lubbock's West Texas Region Disposal Facility is on North FM 2528 with an Abernathy address and is open weekdays 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturdays until noon. Our crews chip and haul wood from jobs as part of the quote, so you won't need to take it there yourself. If you would rather keep firewood, tell us and we'll cut and stack the trunk wood instead.

Planning ahead

The best time to look at older trees is late winter or early spring, before storm season. Bare branches show cracks and dead wood clearly, and fixing a problem on a calm day costs less than cleaning it up after it lands on a roof.

Young trees deserve a look too

Newer plantings around Abernathy homes benefit from early pruning. A tree with two competing leaders at age five can be corrected with one small cut; the same tree at age twenty-five may split down the middle in a storm. If you planted trees in the last few years, a quick look at their structure is worth more than any amount of fertilizer.
