Malvern's Go-To Tree Service for Over 24 Years
Plyler's Tree Service has been taking care of trees in Malvern and Hot Spring County for over two decades. We know the older homes along Main Street and Page Avenue, the mature oaks and pecans in the established neighborhoods off Highway 67, the wooded properties around Lake Catherine, and the rural acreage out toward Rockport and Magnet Cove. From in-town removals near downtown Malvern to long-driveway jobs deep in the county, we've handled tree work across every part of this area.
Malvern sits along the Ouachita River, where the foothills meet the flatter timber country of south-central Arkansas. That means a heavy mix of old-growth oaks and pecans in town, towering pines on the surrounding hillsides, and storms that roll in fast off the Ouachitas. When a tree comes down on Main Street at midnight or a dead pine leans toward your house near Lake Catherine, you need somebody who knows the area. Our crew is based about 25 minutes west in Arkadelphia and runs jobs up I-30 to Malvern 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 Malvern
Every service a homeowner or property owner in Hot Spring County could need — all from one local crew.
Tree Removal
A storm-cracked pecan leaning over the porch on Page Avenue, a dead oak threatening the garage off Highway 270, or a giant pine that's outgrown a lakefront lot on Lake Catherine — we bring them down safe and haul off every branch. In-town tight lots, rural acreage, lakefront property — doesn't matter. We handle it.
More About Tree Removal →Tree Trimming
Limbs scraping the roof on Main Street, branches hanging over the driveway, canopy shading out your lawn — 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 drops a tree on your house, blocks Highway 67, or takes out a fence at 2 a.m., call us any time — nights, weekends, holidays. Our crew is just 25 minutes west in Arkadelphia and can be on the way fast.

Real reviews from real customers across Malvern, Lake Catherine, and Hot Spring County.
"Plyler's Tree Service has been a lifesaver and a house saver for us! When a huge tree fell on my parents' house they showed up the next morning and stayed for 14 hours until they had the tree completely off the house. They will always have my business."
"So impressed by the professional, quality work of this service. They were on time, efficient and cleaned everything up and hauled it off. Would definitely use them again and recommend them. Had a tree fall on my house during a storm and they were right over to help and make life normal again! Great People!!"
"Great experience. Got a large tree down from over a carport and cleaned up in a day. Didn't leave a mess and no further trimming necessary."

Tree Service Questions — Malvern
Answers to the things Malvern homeowners ask us most.
Do I need a permit to remove a tree on my property in Malvern?
For trees on private residential property inside Malvern 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, trees in historic districts, or trees on properties under specific easements. If you're not sure, City of Malvern at (501) 332-3303 can answer questions about anything in the right-of-way. For rural properties outside city limits in Hot Spring County, no permit is required. When you schedule your free estimate, we can also help you figure out whether anything applies to your situation.
You're based in Arkadelphia — how fast can you get to Malvern?
About 25 minutes. We take I-30 east straight to Malvern. Our crews are in Hot Spring County and the Lake Catherine 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 Malvern, and do you handle emergency calls?
Hot Spring 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. Malvern sits along the Ouachita River where storm systems funnel in off the mountains, and pecan and oak trees in older neighborhoods take heavy damage when straight-line winds move through. We answer emergency calls 24 hours a day, 7 days a week — nights, weekends, holidays. When a tree drops on your house in Malvern, call us and we're on the way.
Do you work on lakefront properties around Lake Catherine?
All the time. The lots around Lake Catherine and Lake Catherine State Park are heavily wooded with trees growing close to docks, retaining walls, and the house itself. We handle removals on steep slopes above the water, canopy trim-back from rooflines, and deadwood clearing to prevent debris falling into the water or onto a neighbor's property. When equipment access is tight on lakefront lots, we use ropes and rigging to take trees apart in sections.
What types of trees do you deal with most in Malvern?
Malvern has a big mix of mature hardwoods and pines, and each one comes with its own headaches. The older neighborhoods near Main Street and Page Avenue have enormous white oaks, red oaks, and pecans — the pecans drop heavy limbs in storms and the oaks split at the crotch as they age. Hillsides and rural lots are heavy in shortleaf and loblolly pine that grow tall, lean toward houses, and snap in ice storms. Sweetgums and hickories fill in along the edges, and hickories in particular hold dead branches that fall without warning. We've handled all of them across this area for over 24 years.
