Referral website, not the contractor. How it works
Tree service in Lindale includes removals, trimming, stump grinding and clearing wooded lots north of Tyler. To get help, send a request with the form, and pick "Lindale" as your town.
Tyler TX Tree is a referral website, not a tree service company. We send your request to one independent local tree service company. You never pay us; companies we refer you to may pay us for referrals.
We send Lindale requests to a local tree service company that serves the area, and it will tell you whether it covers your address and whether it charges a trip fee. Pricing and scheduling come from that company.
Lindale basics for tree work
Where it is. Lindale sits on US 69 about ten miles north of Tyler, in northwestern Smith County, according to the Texas State Historical Association. TSHA says the town grew in the 1970s because of its closeness to Tyler and Interstate 20.
How fast it's growing. Census Bureau estimates put Lindale at about 6,000 residents in April 2020 and about 7,400 in July 2025, roughly 23 percent growth in five years. New construction often means clearing, so if you're building, see the land clearing page and ask the City of Lindale what it requires before you clear.
Who to call at the city. Lindale City Hall is at 105 Ballard Drive, 903-882-3422. Lindale sets its own rules, so Tyler's tree code and brush fees don't apply here.
Lindale's trash and brush rules
Lindale's rules are tighter than Tyler's in one way that matters for yard work:
| Lindale | Tyler | |
|---|---|---|
| Who collects | Republic Services, under city contract (1-800-678-7274) | City of Tyler Solid Waste |
| Small limbs | Neatly tied stick bundles, no longer than 3 feet, count toward twelve items picked up each week | Bundles under 4 feet and under 50 pounds picked up at no charge |
| Bigger brush | The city says it charges for brush and bulky-item removal | Special pick-up, from $20 by size and quantity |
So if you're trimming yourself in Lindale, cut sticks to under 3 feet and tie them. For anything bigger, such as the brush from a removal, ask the tree company to haul it, or call the city about brush removal charges first.
Burning. If your Lindale-area home is outside city limits, Smith County burn bans apply when they're in effect. A county ban ordered in August 2026 was lifted on October 5 after rain. At other times, the Smith County Fire Marshal's Office says burning must follow the state's TCEQ rules, and brush may be burned only on the property it came from. Inside city limits, ask the city first.
Tree services in Lindale
- Tree removal. Dead, damaged or crowding trees, including trees close to the house that need to come down in sections.
- Land clearing. Brush, saplings and small trees on lots, fence lines and pasture. Forestry mulching leaves the material on the ground instead of in a pile.
- Stump grinding. Taking stumps below grade after a removal or a clearing job.
- Tree trimming. Deadwood, roof clearance and low limbs. Oaks should be trimmed outside February through June.

Before you send a request
- Say whether you're inside Lindale city limits or in the county.
- For a removal, give the tree's height and distance from the house; for clearing, give the acreage and what's growing there.
- Mention any power lines nearby; the utility handles limbs near the lines.
- Decide who handles the brush, since Lindale's weekly pickup only takes short tied bundles.

Common questions
How long can stick bundles be for Lindale trash pickup?
No longer than 3 feet. The City of Lindale says small bundles of sticks are picked up if they're neatly tied and under 3 feet long, as part of the twelve items collected each week. That's a foot shorter than Tyler's limit.
Is there free tree service in Lindale?
We haven't found a free tree removal program for Lindale homeowners. The referral on this site is free to use, but the tree company charges for its work. Small stick bundles go out with regular trash; the city says it charges for brush and bulky-item removal.
What's the cheapest way to handle a tree job in Lindale?
Get the price in writing with the stump, chipping and hauling listed separately, so you can decide what to do yourself. Cutting small limbs into tied bundles under 3 feet lets them go out with weekly trash. HomeAdvisor says many companies charge less per tree when they take down several at once.
