Arkadelphia's Home-Base Tree Service Since 2002
This is where it all started. Robbie Plyler grew up in Clark County, built his first crew right here in Arkadelphia, and has been taking care of trees in this town for over 24 years. We know the big oaks along Main Street, the tall pines behind the neighborhoods off Highway 8, and the hardwoods on the older properties near Ouachita Baptist and Henderson State. We've worked yards in Feaster Park, off 10th Street, out toward Caddo Valley, and everywhere in between.
Arkadelphia sits right where the Caddo and Ouachita rivers come together, with DeGray Lake just a few miles up the road. That means big trees, heavy canopy cover, and storm seasons that don't go easy on anyone's yard. When ice snaps a limb over your roof at 2 a.m. or a dead pine starts leaning toward your carport, you want somebody close — not a company driving in from Little Rock. We're already here.
We carry a perfect 5.0-star rating on Google with more than 70 reviews from people right here in Clark County and the surrounding 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 Arkadelphia
Every service a homeowner or business in Clark County could need — all from one local crew.
Tree Removal
Big oaks near the older homes off Main Street, dead pines leaning toward a carport, or a sweetgum that's outgrown the yard — we bring them down safe and haul off every branch. Tight lots, open acreage, doesn't matter. We handle it.
More About Tree Removal →Tree Trimming
Limbs scraping your roof on 10th Street, 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
Clark County catches its share of strong storms. When a tree comes down on your house, blocks your road, or lands on a fence, call us any time — nights, weekends, holidays. Since we're already in Arkadelphia, we can be at your property fast.
More About Storm Work →Tree Assessments
Not sure if a tree needs to come down or just needs some work? Robbie has spent 24 years looking at trees in this area — reading the lean, checking the trunk, spotting root damage and disease that most people walk right past. He'll walk your property and give you a straight answer on what's healthy and what's a problem.

Tree Service Across Arkadelphia Neighborhoods
Arkadelphia is home. We've worked tree jobs on nearly every street in this town over 24 years. Here's what we see most across the neighborhoods we know best.
🎓 Henderson State and OBU Areas
The neighborhoods around Henderson State University and Ouachita Baptist — Pine Street, 10th Street, Walnut, Caddo, Henderson Street — are full of mature pecans, white oaks, and shortleaf pines that pre-date most of the houses. Rental properties on these streets get neglected; the trees show it. Storm damage, hidden trunk decay, root issues from old sidewalks and curbing — we see it constantly. If you own or manage a property near campus, we've probably done work on your block.
🏘️ Country Club Drive and the East Side
The established neighborhoods east of Highway 7 — Country Club Drive, Twin Rivers, Riverview, the streets off 9th — have big mature trees on bigger lots. A lot of these homes were built in the '60s and '70s and the trees have grown into their final stage of life. We get called out here for storm-cracked oaks, dead pines near roof lines, and major canopy work on properties where the homeowner wants the trees thinned without losing the shade.
🛣️ Caddo Valley and the I-30 Corridor
North of town toward Caddo Valley and along the I-30 corridor, properties get bigger and more rural fast. Long driveways, wooded acreage, pine plantation behind the back fence. We're set up for it — equipment access on rough driveways, storm-damaged section clearing in pine stands, and fence-line work where the timber goes back further than most people realize. If you're on the Caddo Valley side, we know your terrain.
🌊 DeGray Lake and South Toward Gurdon
Out toward DeGray Lake and south along Highway 67 toward Gurdon, you're in classic Clark County timber country — rural lots, lakefront cabins, and acreage where the trees have been growing tall since long before the houses showed up. We handle the lakefront work on DeGray, the long-haul rural removals south of town, and everything in between. Lakefront work especially takes extra care — steep slopes, tight equipment access, and trees growing right up to the dock or retaining wall. We've been doing it for 24 years.

Tree Service Questions — Arkadelphia
Answers to the things Arkadelphia homeowners ask us most.
Do I need a permit to remove a tree on my property in Arkadelphia?
For most residential properties inside city limits, no. Arkadelphia does not require a permit to remove a tree on your own land. If the tree is near a public road or sits on a property line, you may want to check with the city building department at (870) 246-1818 before you start. When you schedule your free estimate, we can help you figure out if anything applies to your situation.
Will the city pick up tree debris in Arkadelphia?
Not really. Arkadelphia's sanitation department will pick up small limbs under 10 feet, but their policy says no trunks, logs, or spoils from tree removal. That means if you have a tree taken down, somebody has to haul the debris. We handle all of that. Every job includes full cleanup — we chip the brush, haul off the wood, and leave your yard clean. You never have to worry about dragging anything to the curb.
When is storm season worst in Clark County, and do you handle emergency calls?
Clark County sees the heaviest storms from late March through early June, and ice storms can hit between December and February. Arkadelphia knows what bad weather can do — the town took a direct hit from an F4 tornado in 1997 and has dealt with serious storms since. We answer emergency calls 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including nights, weekends, and holidays. Since we're already in Arkadelphia, we can usually be on-site within a couple of hours when a tree comes down on a home or blocks a road.
I rent out property near Henderson State or OBU — do you work with landlords?
All the time. A lot of the rental homes around Henderson State and Ouachita Baptist sit on older lots with big trees that haven't been touched in years. We work with landlords and property managers to trim back overgrowth, remove dead trees, and grind stumps between tenants. We can meet you at the property or handle the whole thing while you're off-site — just tell us what you need and we'll send photos when it's done.
What types of trees do you deal with most in Arkadelphia?
Arkadelphia sits at the edge of the Ouachita Mountains, so we get a good mix. The older neighborhoods in town are full of big water oaks, post oaks, and pecans. Loblolly pines are everywhere — especially on the south side and out toward Bismarck. Sweetgums, hickories, and the occasional cedar round it out. Each species has its own issues. Oaks get heavy and drop big limbs in storms. Pines grow fast and lean toward houses. Sweetgums have shallow roots that come up in high wind. We've handled all of them thousands of times right here in Clark County.
