Tree Service in Amity, AR
The crew Amity, Glenwood, and Caddo River homeowners have trusted for over two decades. Tree removal, trimming, stump grinding, and same-day storm response — serving Amity and the surrounding Caddo Valley from our Arkadelphia base.
Amity's Go-To Tree Service for Over 24 Years
Plyler's Tree Service has been taking care of trees in Amity and the Caddo River valley for over two decades. We know the older homes along Highway 27, the wooded acreage out past Joplin Mountain, the riverfront lots down the Caddo, and the rural properties around Ouachita Hills and Caddo Cove Road. From in-town removals near downtown Amity to long-driveway jobs deep in northwestern Clark County, we've handled tree work across every part of this area.
Amity sits in the Ouachita foothills along the Caddo River, surrounded by national forest on three sides. That means big mature pines, dense hardwood canopy, and storms that hit hard when a system rolls down out of the mountains. When a tree comes down across Highway 27 at midnight or a dead oak leans toward your roof off Bee Mountain Road, you need somebody who knows the area. Our crew is based about 20 minutes south in Arkadelphia and runs jobs up Highway 8 to Amity multiple times a week — no trip fee, no travel charge.
We carry a perfect 5.0-star rating on Google with more than 70 reviews from homeowners across the area. Every estimate is free, every price is in writing before we start, and we clean up everything before we leave. That's how we've done it since day one.
What We Do in Amity
Every service a homeowner or property owner in the Caddo River area could need — all from one local crew.
Tree Removal
Tall pines crowding a house off Highway 27, a dead oak leaning toward the barn out near Joplin Mountain, or a hardwood that's outgrown a riverfront lot along the Caddo — we bring them down safe and haul off every branch. Rural acreage, tight in-town lots, wooded river property — doesn't matter. We handle it.
More About Tree Removal →Tree Trimming
Limbs scraping the roof off Bee Mountain Road, branches hanging over the driveway, canopy blocking sunlight from your yard — we trim them back the right way. No topping, no hacking. Just proper cuts that keep the tree healthy and your property safe.
More About Trimming →Stump Grinding
That stump you've been mowing around for three years? We grind it 6 to 8 inches below ground and fill the hole. Flat enough to grow grass over or plant something new. We do multiple stumps in one trip and save you money.
More About Stump Grinding →Emergency Storm Damage
When a storm rolls down out of the Ouachitas and drops a tree on your house, blocks Highway 8, or takes out a fence at 2 a.m., call us any time — nights, weekends, holidays. Our crew is just 20 minutes south in Arkadelphia and can be on the way fast.
More About Storm Work →Tree Assessments

Caddo River Country and Rural Acreage Tree Work
Amity sits at the edge of the Ouachitas where the Caddo River cuts through rural Clark and Pike County terrain. The tree work out here is different from anywhere else we go. Here's what we see.
🌊 Caddo River Bottomland Trees
The bottomland along the Caddo River grows different trees than the surrounding hills — bald cypress, water oak, river birch, and big willow oaks that root in saturated soil. These trees take heavy stress when the river floods or when the water table shifts, and they show damage years after the original event. Hidden root rot, hollow trunks under healthy-looking bark, sudden lean from undermined banks. We walk the property and read what's actually going on before we recommend anything.
🛣️ Highway 8 and the Backroads
Most of the work around Amity is rural — properties strung out along Highway 8 east toward Glenwood and west toward Caddo Gap, plus the back-county roads heading up into Montgomery County. Long driveways, gravel access, properties where you can't see the next house. We bring the right equipment for the terrain — chip trucks that can navigate narrow gravel turns, and rigging gear for properties where bucket-truck access just isn't going to happen.
🌲 Ouachita Pine and Hardwood Acreage
South and west of Amity, you're heading into the Ouachita foothills proper. Heavy shortleaf and loblolly pine plantation, hardwood ridges, and rural acreage that often backs up to the Ouachita National Forest. Ice storms and straight-line winds do real damage out here — entire sections of pine stand can come down in a single weather event. We handle the storm-damaged section clearing, the dangerous lean removals, and the long-haul rural work that property owners out this way actually need.
🏡 Amity Town Lots and Old-Town Trees
The older properties in Amity proper — along Main Street, the streets off Highway 8 through downtown, and the established residential areas — have mature pecans, white oaks, and pines that have been growing in town for decades. Tight lots, close-set houses, power lines and outbuildings to work around. The work takes patience and the right approach. We've been doing it for years and we know which old trees on which streets are next in line for attention.

Tree Service Questions — Amity
Answers to the things Amity homeowners ask us most.
Do I need a permit to remove a tree on my property in Amity?
For trees on private residential property inside Amity city limits, you generally don't need a permit for removal. The only exceptions are trees in the public right-of-way along city streets or trees on properties that fall under specific easements. If you're not sure, Amity City Hall at (870) 342-5822 can answer questions about anything in the right-of-way. When you schedule your free estimate, we can also help you figure out whether anything applies to your situation. For rural properties outside city limits, no permit is required.
You're based in Arkadelphia — how fast can you get to Amity?
About 20 minutes. We take Highway 8 straight up and we're in Amity. Our crews are in the Caddo River area multiple times a week for scheduled jobs, and for emergencies we can usually be on-site within an hour. There's no trip fee or travel charge — the price is based on the job, not the drive.
When is storm season worst around Amity, and do you handle emergency calls?
Northwestern Clark County catches its heaviest storms from late March through early June, with another rough stretch in October and November. Ice storms hit hardest between December and February. Amity sits in the Ouachita foothills, and storms funnel down out of the mountains and dump on the valley fast. We answer emergency calls 24 hours a day, 7 days a week — nights, weekends, holidays. When a tree drops on your house in Amity, call us and we're on the way.
Do you work on rural acreage and Caddo River properties around Amity?
All the time. A lot of the land around Amity is rural acreage — wooded lots along the Caddo River, properties backing up to the Ouachita National Forest, and hillside builds around Joplin Mountain. We handle long-driveway access, hazardous trees on steep slopes, riverbank cleanup, and large hardwood removals where equipment access is tight. If a property is too narrow for a bucket truck or too wooded for direct lifting, we use ropes and rigging to take trees apart piece by piece.
What types of trees do you deal with most in Amity?
Amity sits at the edge of the Ouachita National Forest, so pine and hardwood mix is heavy. Shortleaf and loblolly pines dominate the hillsides and rural lots — they grow tall, lean toward houses, and snap in ice storms. Post oak, white oak, and hickory fill in the older in-town properties and the river bottoms. Sweetgums show up on cleared land and along fence lines. Each species has its own issues. Pines drop limbs in wind and topple roots in saturated soil. Oaks get heavy and split at the crotch. Hickories hold dead branches that fall without warning. We've handled all of them across this area for over 24 years.
