Arkadelphia’s Most Trusted Tree Removal Service
Plyler’s Tree Service has been removing trees in Arkadelphia and Clark County for over 24 years. Owner Robbie Plyler runs every job himself. We’ve taken down thousands of trees — big oaks hanging over houses, dead pines leaning toward power lines, storm-damaged trees blocking driveways. We handle it all. Our crew uses ropes, rigging, and sectional cutting to bring trees down safely, even in tight spots between your house and your neighbor’s fence. We’re fully licensed and insured, so if anything goes wrong, you’re covered. When the tree is down, we clean up everything — branches, brush, sawdust, all of it. Your yard looks better than when we got there. Every estimate is free, and we’ll tell you straight up what it’ll cost before we start. That’s why we have a perfect 5.0-star rating on Google with more than 70 reviews.
When Does a Tree Need to Come Down?
Not every tree needs to be removed. But some trees become a danger to your family and your property. Here are the signs we look for.
The Tree Is Dead
No leaves in summer, bark falling off, branches snapping in light wind. A dead tree can fall without warning.
It’s Leaning
If a tree is leaning more than it used to — especially toward your house, garage, or carport — it’s time to act.
Cracks in the Trunk
A crack running down the trunk means the tree’s structure is failing. It can split apart in the next storm.
Growing Into Power Lines
Trees growing into power lines can cause outages, fires, and serious injury. Don’t wait on these.
Roots Causing Damage
Roots lifting up through your yard, cracking your driveway, or pushing into your foundation mean the tree is causing damage underground.
Storm Damage
A tree with a broken top, split limbs, or hanging branches after a storm is dangerous. Call us right away.
If you’re not sure, call us. We’ll come look at it for free and tell you the truth — if the tree can stay, we’ll say so. We don’t push work you don’t need. Not sure if it needs trimming or full removal? Here’s how to tell →
How We Remove a Tree
Every tree is different. A tree in the middle of a field is a simple job. A 70-foot oak between your house and your neighbor’s shed takes a lot more planning. Here’s how we work.
- 1
Free On-Site Assessment
Robbie or a crew lead comes to your property, checks the tree, looks at what’s around it, and figures out the safest way to bring it down. You get an honest price on the spot — no surprises.
- 2
A Plan for Your Tree
We decide whether the tree can be felled in one piece or if we need to take it apart in sections. For trees near houses, we rig ropes so every piece comes down exactly where we want it.
- 3
Safe, Careful Removal
Our crew does the work. We cut, we lower, we chip. The whole time, we’re watching out for your house, your yard, your landscaping, and your neighbor’s stuff.
- 4
Full Cleanup
Branches, brush, sawdust, wood chips — all of it. We haul it away unless you want to keep the firewood. When we leave, you wouldn’t know we were there except the tree is gone.
Once the tree is down, most folks add stump grinding so there’s nothing left behind. Not sure if you need grinding or full stump removal? Here’s the difference →
How Much Does Tree Removal Cost in Arkadelphia?
Every job is different, so there’s no one-size-fits-all price. The biggest things that affect the cost are the size of the tree, how close it is to your house or power lines, and how easy it is for us to get our equipment to it. A tree in an open backyard costs less than one squeezed between a house and a garage.
We always give you the exact price before we start — no hidden fees, no surprises. Call us or fill out the form below for a free estimate.

One of the best tree removal services in Clark County by far. Very reliable, fair priced, and not trying to take unnecessary money like most try to throw in there. They clean up the area awesome and never leave your yard or property a mess.
I had some trees removed — close to a power line, the house, and the edge of the driveway. Did an amazing job. He was the cheapest and had the equipment to get it all done, cleanup and everything.
Plyler's removed several trees for us. The attention to detail and knowledge of tree removal was unmatched. They finished ahead of schedule and right on budget. I've recommended them to family and friends.

Tree Removal Questions
Answers to the things Clark County homeowners ask us most about tree removal.
How much does tree removal cost in Arkadelphia?
It depends on the size of the tree and how hard it is to get to. Small trees under 30 feet usually run $200 to $500. Medium trees (30 to 60 feet) cost $400 to $1,000. Large trees over 60 feet or trees close to a house or power line can run $800 to $1,500 or more. We give you the exact price before any work starts — always free, no obligation.
How do I know if my tree needs to be removed?
Look for dead branches, bark falling off, a cracked or split trunk, the tree leaning more than normal, mushrooms growing at the base, or roots pushing up through the ground. If a tree is close to your house and shows any of these signs, give us a call. We'll come look at it for free and tell you the truth.
Do you remove the stump too?
Tree removal and stump grinding are separate services, but we can do both at the same time. Most folks add stump grinding because leftover stumps attract termites, get in the way of mowing, and just look bad. We grind them below ground level so you can fill it in and grow grass over it.
Are you insured?
Yes. We carry full liability insurance. If something goes wrong during a removal — a branch hits a fence, equipment nicks a driveway — our insurance covers it. Never hire a tree company that can't show you proof of insurance.
How long does it take to remove a tree?
Most jobs take half a day or less. A small tree in an open yard can be down and cleaned up in a couple hours. A large tree close to a house takes longer because we cut it in sections and lower each piece with ropes. We'll tell you how long it'll take when we come out for the estimate.
Can you take down a tree that's close to my house?
That's actually what we do best. We use ropes, rigging, and sectional cutting to bring trees down piece by piece in tight spots. Robbie has been doing this for 24 years and has safely removed thousands of trees next to houses, garages, sheds, fences, and power lines.
Do I need a permit to remove a tree in Arkadelphia?
Usually not. Arkadelphia doesn't require a permit for removing a tree on your own residential property. If the tree is near a public road or you have HOA rules, there might be restrictions. We can help you figure that out when we come for the estimate.
What happens to the wood after the tree is down?
We haul away all branches and brush. If the trunk wood is good — like oak or pecan — you're welcome to keep it for firewood. If you don't want it, we take it with us. Your yard is clean when we leave.
