Roy is a small south Pierce County city on SR 507, surrounded by ranch homes, farms and pasture, with Joint Base Lewis-McChord to the north and west. Big firs near houses and barns, fence-line trees and pasture edges are typical of the acreage here. We take down storm-damaged and hazard trees, clean up after storms, and clear land when you want the lot or acreage opened up.

Storm tree removal and cleanup in Roy
Open prairie and pasture give winter windstorms a clear run at tall, isolated firs. A single tall tree standing alone near a house, barn or shop is the one worth a look before storm season.
We handle:
- Hazard and storm-damaged trees: leaning, cracked, rooted-up or hanging over a structure (hazard tree removal)
- 24/7 emergency storm response when a tree is on a house, car, driveway or road (emergency tree service)
- Cutting, chipping and hauling storm debris so you can use the driveway and yard again
Land clearing in Roy
After the storm wood is gone, or when you are opening a homesite, shop pad, pasture edge or fence line, we clear trees, brush and blackberry, grind or pull stumps, and mulch or haul the material. See land clearing, or book a land & site consultation for planning help before machines arrive.
The equipment we bring to the job is matched to access and ground conditions. The Puget Sound Clean Air Agency prohibits land-clearing fires across Pierce County, so brush and debris are mulched or hauled, not burned.
Trees we see in Roy
Douglas-fir is the main tree on the prairie ground around Roy, mixed with Oregon white oak, shore pine and red alder, and Scotch broom fills in open ground.
Terrain and access
The gravelly glacial outwash around Roy drains fast and is mostly flat to gently rolling, so trucks and machines can usually get close to the tree. On farm and ranch ground we plan the route around fences, wells, septic drainfields and livestock areas.
Permits and regulated trees
Inside Roy city limits, check with Roy City Hall about trees in the right-of-way or in critical areas. Outside city limits, Pierce County regulates clearing more than 7,000 sq ft (and almost any clearing in a critical area) and protects Oregon white oak as priority habitat (PCC 18E.40). Oaks are common on prairie ground around Roy, so we flag them during the estimate.
Frequently asked questions
Can you take down oak trees around Roy?
Sometimes, but check first. Outside city limits Pierce County protects Oregon white oak as priority habitat, and removing one usually needs county review. We flag oaks during the estimate.
Do you come out to Roy for storm damage?
Yes. Storm service is 24/7. Call (360) 503-0571 if a tree is on a house, car, driveway or road. Text a photo if you can.
Can you clear a pasture edge or fence line after the storm wood is gone?
Yes. We drop the remaining trees, grind or pull the stumps, and mulch or haul the brush. Tell us what the strip is for so we leave the ground ready.
