Close to Lubbock, Still Rural

Tree Service in New Deal is mostly work on spread-out properties. New Deal is a small town just north of Lubbock with about 730 residents across more than two square miles, so lots are bigger and homes farther apart than in the city. Trees around these houses often serve as the only wind shelter, and losing one changes how a place feels in a March dust storm. We try to keep that in mind on every job.

Where the name came from

New Deal started in 1909 as a railroad loading point called Monroe, after landowner Monroe G. Abernathy. Because another Texas town already used the name, postal officials renamed it New Deal, matching the consolidated school district and honoring Franklin Roosevelt's programs. In 1970, residents voted to incorporate instead of being annexed by Lubbock. That independent streak shows up in how people here prefer to handle things: straightforward, practical, and with a clear price.

Wind across open fields

With cropland on every side, there's nothing between New Deal's trees and the wind. A West Texas Mesonet station six miles east of town logged a 63 mph gust on May 31, 2024, and 59 mph on February 17, 2026. Trees that have grown lopsided from years of southwest wind carry most of their weight on one side, which makes them more likely to fail when a strong gust comes from the north behind a front.

What we handle here

  • Removing dead trees from around houses, shops and barns
  • Thinning big trees so wind passes through the crown
  • Clearing limbs from service lines to the house once the utility has made lines safe
  • Storm cleanup on driveways and fence lines
  • Taking out old windbreak rows that have died back
  • Stump grinding so the ground can be mowed or replanted

Reading a lopsided tree

Not every leaning tree is dangerous. A tree that grew with a lean over many years has usually built extra wood to support it. The warning sign is a lean that is new or getting worse, especially with cracked soil or exposed roots on the side away from the lean. If you notice that, call us before the next windy day.

Wood and cleanup

On country lots, some owners want brush piles left for wildlife or firewood cut and stacked. Others want everything gone. Tell us what you prefer and it goes in the written quote, along with the price.

Trees near outbuildings

On farmsteads, trees often grow right against barns, sheds and equipment shelters, where they were handy for shade. Over time, limbs scrape metal roofs and roots lift slabs. Removing or reducing those trees takes careful cutting so nothing lands on the building, and we price that care into the estimate up front.

New Deal Questions

Is a leaning tree always dangerous?

No. A lean that developed slowly over years is usually stable. A lean that appeared suddenly or got worse after a storm, especially with cracked or raised soil on one side, needs attention right away.

Can you leave the brush pile on my property?

Yes, if you want it. On country lots some owners keep a brush pile or firewood. We'll note that in the quote and price it accordingly.

Do you charge more to drive out to New Deal?

New Deal is just north of Lubbock and well within the area we cover. The estimate is based on the work, access and cleanup, not the drive.

Can you thin a tree so it handles wind better?

Yes. Thinning removes selected branches throughout the crown so wind passes through instead of pushing against a solid mass of leaves. Done properly, it takes out a modest share of the live canopy and leaves the tree's natural shape.
