Referral website, not the contractor. How it works

Tree service in Whitehouse covers the same jobs as in Tyler: removals, trimming, stump grinding and storm cleanup. To get help, send a request with the form, and pick "Whitehouse" 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 Whitehouse requests to a local tree service company that serves the area, and it will tell you whether it covers your address. Pricing and scheduling come from that company.

What's different about tree work in Whitehouse

Its own city rules. Whitehouse is a separate city, incorporated in 1953, about six miles southeast of Tyler on Farm Road 346 and State Highway 110, according to the Texas State Historical Association. Tyler's tree code and brush fees don't apply here. Whitehouse has its own permits and building inspection office at City Hall, 101 A Bascom Road, 903-510-7500. Call there before any large removal or lot clearing.

Bulk pickup runs twice a month. The city's utilities FAQ says Republic Services provides curbside bulk collection on the 1st and 3rd Thursdays of each month, for all areas of the city. Collection covers up to two bulk items, bundles must be securely tied, and leaves must be dry and bagged, with a 12-bag limit per pickup day. Schedule by calling Republic at 903-586-1449. The FAQ doesn't give a size limit for tree limbs, so ask Republic before you set out a brush pile from a removal, or have the tree company haul it.

A growing town. Census Bureau estimates put Whitehouse at about 8,200 residents in April 2020 and about 10,000 in July 2025, roughly 21 percent growth. TSHA credits the school district, Lake Tyler two miles to the east, and the short commute to Tyler for the town's growth.

Nurseries and oaks. TSHA lists tree nurseries among Whitehouse's local industries, alongside cattle and chicken farming. If you're trimming or removing near oaks you want to keep, Texas A&M Forest Service asks Texans to avoid wounding oaks from February through June and to paint fresh wounds year-round, to slow oak wilt.

Inside or outside city limits. A Whitehouse mailing address doesn't always mean you're inside the city. In unincorporated Smith County, county burn bans apply when they're in effect, and the Smith County Fire Marshal's Office enforces the state's outdoor burning rules.

Tree services in Whitehouse

You can send a request for any of these jobs:

Tree removal. Dead, leaning or crowding trees, taken down in sections where they're close to the house.
Tree trimming. Roof clearance, deadwood and raising low limbs over driveways. Time oak work for July through January.
Stump grinding. Taking stumps below grade after a removal, so you can mow or replant.
Storm and emergency tree removal. Trees on roofs, cars or fences after spring storms.

For limbs near power lines, the electric utility comes first. Texas Health and Safety Code Chapter 752 bars work within six feet of a high-voltage overhead line unless the line's owner has arranged safety measures. Call the utility named on your bill.

Typical costs for Whitehouse homeowners

National guides checked in October 2026 put common jobs at:

Job	Typical national range	Source
Removing one tree	About $200 to $2,000, average about $750	HomeAdvisor
Trimming one tree	About $430 to $640	LawnStarter
Grinding one stump	About $131 to $438	LawnStarter

These are national ranges, not Whitehouse quotes. The company sets its own prices; ask whether there's a trip fee for your address. HomeAdvisor says travel or mileage outside a company's usual area runs about $50 to $200. The Tyler tree removal cost guide covers every add-on.

Before you send a request

Note the tree type if you know it, roughly how tall it is, and how far it is from the house.
Say whether your address is inside Whitehouse city limits.
Mention any power lines near the tree.
Decide whether you want the wood hauled away or left, since bulk pickup has limits.
If you have an HOA, check its rules on tree removal.

Common questions

Will Whitehouse pick up my tree limbs?

The city's FAQ says Republic Services collects bulk items curbside on the 1st and 3rd Thursdays of each month, asks that bundles be securely tied, and limits leaves to 12 bags per pickup. It doesn't publish a size limit for limbs, so call Republic at 903-586-1449 to schedule and ask before you set brush out.

Do I need a permit to remove a tree in Whitehouse?

Whitehouse has its own permits and building inspection office, separate from Tyler's, so Tyler's code doesn't apply. Call Whitehouse City Hall at 903-510-7500 and ask. Check your HOA rules too.

Can I burn brush in Whitehouse?

Inside city limits, ask the city first. In unincorporated areas around town, Smith County burn bans apply when they're in effect, and burning at other times has to follow the state's TCEQ rules, according to the Smith County Fire Marshal's Office.
