Amity's Go-To Tree Service for Over 24 Years
Plyler's Tree Service has been taking care of trees in Amity and the Caddo River valley for over two decades. We know the older homes along Highway 27, the wooded acreage out past Joplin Mountain, the riverfront lots down the Caddo, and the rural properties around Ouachita Hills and Caddo Cove Road. From in-town removals near downtown Amity to long-driveway jobs deep in northwestern Clark County, we've handled tree work across every part of this area.
Amity sits in the Ouachita foothills along the Caddo River, surrounded by national forest on three sides. That means big mature pines, dense hardwood canopy, and storms that hit hard when a system rolls down out of the mountains. When a tree comes down across Highway 27 at midnight or a dead oak leans toward your roof off Bee Mountain Road, you need somebody who knows the area. Our crew is based about 20 minutes south in Arkadelphia and runs jobs up Highway 8 to Amity 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 Amity
Every service a homeowner or property owner in the Caddo River area could need — all from one local crew.
Tree Removal
Tall pines crowding a house off Highway 27, a dead oak leaning toward the barn out near Joplin Mountain, or a hardwood that's outgrown a riverfront lot along the Caddo — we bring them down safe and haul off every branch. Rural acreage, tight in-town lots, wooded river property — doesn't matter. We handle it.
Tree Trimming
Limbs scraping the roof off Bee Mountain Road, branches hanging over the driveway, canopy blocking sunlight from your yard — we trim them back the right way. No topping, no hacking. Just proper cuts that keep the tree healthy and your property safe.
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.
Emergency Storm Damage
When a storm rolls down out of the Ouachitas and drops a tree on your house, blocks Highway 8, or takes out a fence at 2 a.m., call us any time — nights, weekends, holidays. Our crew is just 20 minutes south in Arkadelphia and can be on the way fast.
Tree Assessments
Not sure if a tree needs to come down or just needs some work? Robbie has spent 24 years looking at trees across this area — reading the lean, checking the trunk, spotting root damage and disease that most people walk right past. He'll walk your property and give you a straight answer on what's healthy and what's a problem.

What Your Neighbors Are Saying
Real 5-star Google reviews from folks across Clark County and southwest Arkansas.
Robbie is one-of-a-kind. Engaging personality, stellar work ethic, super responsive by text. His estimate was very reasonable and he showed up exactly when he said he would. My 89-year-old father trusts no one and is rarely satisfied — he could not have been happier with Robbie's work and the price. Two thumbs up!
Robbie Plyler is so honest and hard working. We'd trust him with any of our tree service needs!
10/10 recommend Plyler's for any of your tree needs. Very professional and very price competitive. Robbie goes above and beyond for his customers.
Caddo River Country and Rural Acreage Tree Work
Amity sits at the edge of the Ouachitas where the Caddo River cuts through rural Clark and Pike County terrain. The tree work out here is different from anywhere else we go. Here's what we see.
🌊 Caddo River Bottomland Trees
The bottomland along the Caddo River grows different trees than the surrounding hills — bald cypress, water oak, river birch, and big willow oaks that root in saturated soil. These trees take heavy stress when the river floods or when the water table shifts, and they show damage years after the original event. Hidden root rot, hollow trunks under healthy-looking bark, sudden lean from undermined banks. We walk the property and read what’s actually going on before we recommend anything.
🛣️ Highway 8 and the Backroads
Most of the work around Amity is rural — properties strung out along Highway 8 east toward Glenwood and west toward Caddo Gap, plus the back-county roads heading up into Montgomery County. Long driveways, gravel access, properties where you can't see the next house. We bring the right equipment for the terrain — chip trucks that can navigate narrow gravel turns, and rigging gear for properties where bucket-truck access just isn't going to happen.
🌲 Ouachita Pine and Hardwood Acreage
South and west of Amity, you're heading into the Ouachita foothills proper. Heavy shortleaf and loblolly pine plantation, hardwood ridges, and rural acreage that often backs up to the Ouachita National Forest. Ice storms and straight-line winds do real damage out here — entire sections of pine stand can come down in a single weather event. We handle the storm-damaged section clearing, the dangerous lean removals, and the long-haul rural work that property owners out this way actually need.
🏡 Amity Town Lots and Old-Town Trees
The older properties in Amity proper — along Main Street, the streets off Highway 8 through downtown, and the established residential areas — have mature pecans, white oaks, and pines that have been growing in town for decades. Tight lots, close-set houses, power lines and outbuildings to work around. The work takes patience and the right approach. We’ve been doing it for years and we know which old trees on which streets are next in line for attention.

Tree Service Questions — Amity
Answers to the things Amity homeowners ask us most.
Do I need a permit to remove a tree on my property in Amity, AR?
For trees on private residential property inside Amity city limits, a permit is generally not required for removal. The only exceptions are trees in the public right-of-way along city streets or trees on properties under specific easements. Amity City Hall at (870) 342-5822 can answer questions about anything in the right-of-way. For rural properties outside city limits, no permit is required. At the free estimate, Plyler's Tree Service will help determine whether anything applies to your situation.
How fast can Plyler's Tree Service get to Amity from Arkadelphia?
About 20 minutes by way of Highway 8. Plyler's Tree Service crews are in the Amity and Caddo River area multiple times per week for scheduled jobs, and for emergencies can usually be on-site within an hour. There is no trip fee or travel charge — the price is based on the job, not the drive.
When is storm season worst around Amity, and do you handle emergency calls?
Northwestern Clark 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. Amity sits in the Ouachita foothills, where storms funnel down out of the mountains and dump on the valley fast. Plyler's Tree Service answers emergency calls 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including nights, weekends, and holidays. When a tree comes down on a home in Amity, the crew is on the way.
Do you work on rural acreage and Caddo River properties around Amity?
Yes. A lot of the land around Amity is rural acreage — wooded lots along the Caddo River, properties backing up to the Ouachita National Forest, and hillside builds around Joplin Mountain. Plyler's Tree Service handles long-driveway access, hazardous trees on steep slopes, riverbank cleanup, and large hardwood removals where equipment access is tight. When a property is too narrow for a bucket truck or too wooded for direct lifting, the crew uses ropes and rigging to take trees apart in sections.
What types of trees are most common in Amity, and do you work on all of them?
Amity sits at the edge of the Ouachita National Forest with a heavy pine and hardwood mix. Shortleaf and loblolly pines dominate hillsides and rural lots — they grow tall, lean toward houses, and snap in ice storms. Post oak, white oak, and hickory fill in older in-town properties and Caddo River bottoms. Sweetgums show up on cleared land and along fence lines. Each species has its own challenges — pines drop limbs in wind and topple roots in saturated soil, oaks get heavy and split at the crotch, hickories hold dead branches that fall without warning. Plyler's Tree Service has handled all of them across this area for over 24 years.
