Tree Work for a Town Built by Farm Families
Tree Service in Wilson is usually a short list of specific jobs: one dead tree by the garage, a few limbs over the roof, a stump that's been in the yard for years. Wilson is a small place, with about 434 residents on a little more than half a square mile in northern Lynn County, and that's the scale we work at. We give the same careful estimate for a single limb as we do for a full removal.
A history in the Green Building
Wilson was founded in 1912 by William Dickson Green and Lonnie Lumsden, who expected the Panhandle and Santa Fe Railway's branch line from Slaton to Lamesa to come through. It did. Early settlers were German and Polish farm families who bought land on former Wilson County school lands, which is where the town's name comes from. Green's 1917 store building, renovated in 1963, now serves as city hall and a museum. The rail line was abandoned in 1999, but FM 400 still follows the old route.
Big hail, hard wind
Wilson doesn't get much attention, but storms find it. On June 6, 2025, hail measuring 3.25 inches fell five miles west of town. On the night of June 11, 2026, NWS said the O'Donnell and Wilson area was particularly hard hit by damaging winds, after gusts reached 76 mph near Tahoka. Hail that size breaks branches outright and leaves deep bark wounds; wind like that drops weak trees.
What hail-wounded bark means
When hail tears bark, the wood underneath is exposed. A healthy tree begins sealing the wound from the edges, but large wounds can take years to close, and decay fungi can get in first. We look at how much of the bark was damaged and where. Damage on small branches is usually fine. Damage that wraps much of the way around a trunk or a main limb is a reason to plan a removal or a replacement.

Fair pricing on small jobs
We know a single-tree job in a small town isn't a big project for most companies. For us, it's normal work. You get a free site visit and a written price that covers cutting, cleanup and hauling, with nothing added after.
Before you plant again
If a storm takes out a tree in your Wilson yard, give the replacement a fair chance. Plant it well away from the house and from overhead lines, choose something sized for the space when mature, and water deeply through the first few summers. A young tree that gets a light structural pruning around year three or four will hold up far better in the next big blow.

Wilson Questions
Will you come out for just one tree?
Yes. Single-tree jobs are a regular part of our work, and the estimate is free whether it's one limb or several trees.
Hail ripped the bark on my tree. Will it heal?
Small wounds usually close within a season or two. Large wounds, or damage that circles much of the trunk, may let decay in or girdle the tree. We can look and tell you which you have.
Do you remove trees around barns and grain bins?
Yes. Trees near farm buildings are taken down in sections and lowered carefully so nothing lands on the structure.
Can you leave the trunk wood for firewood?
Yes. Let us know before the job and we will cut the trunk into rounds and stack them where you want. Brush and small branches are still chipped and hauled away.
