ABOUT HOWDY TREE SERVICE CO.

Tree Work Done the Right Way — Because Shortcuts Cost More

The Howdy STORY

Howdy Tree Service Co. was built after seeing too many homeowners pay the price for rushed, careless tree work.

Jobs were cut fast instead of planned carefully. Property was damaged. Crews disappeared when problems showed up. Tree work was treated like routine yard work — even though one wrong cut can cause serious damage.

We built Howdy to do it differently.

Every job starts with planning, property protection, and trained professionals who take responsibility for the outcome. We slow the process down, do the work right, and finish with a clean site — not excuses.

When tree work is handled correctly, it shouldn’t feel stressful.
It should feel controlled, professional, and handled.

That’s the standard Howdy Tree Service Co. brings to every Fort Worth home we work on.

THE FOUNDER

Meet Jake “Howdy” Lawson

Hi — I’m Jake.

If you’re on this page, you’re probably deciding who you trust around your home. That matters more than most people realize.

Tree work isn’t just cutting wood. It’s managing risk. Every decision affects your house, your yard, and your peace of mind.

I started Howdy Tree Service because I got tired of seeing homeowners left with damage, excuses, or silence after a job went wrong.

When we show up, we come prepared.
When we start a job, we finish it right.
And when we leave, your property should be safer and cleaner than before.

That’s the standard I hold my crew to — and the one I hold myself to.

If that’s what you’re looking for, we’ll get along just fine.

MEET THE HOWDY CREW LEADERSHIP

The Crew That Shows Up Ready — Every Time

Experienced. Trained. Accountable.
No shortcuts. No guesswork. No random hires.

Tree work isn’t something you learn on the fly — and it’s not something you leave to whoever shows up that day.

The Howdy Crew is built from trained professionals who understand that every job carries risk. Each crew member is selected, trained, and held to the same standards — from safety and communication to cleanup and respect for property.

 

Senior Climber
Chris handles complex removals and technical climbs near homes and structures. Calm under pressure and precise in execution.

Crew Lead | Rigging Specialist
Ryan manages rigging systems and job flow on high-risk removals. His focus is control, coordination, and safety from start to finish.

Ground Operations Lead
Matt runs site safety, property protection, and final cleanup. If a yard looks untouched after a job, Matt had a hand in it.

Equipment & Safety Coordinator
Daniel ensures equipment, PPE, and safety systems are ready before any work begins — and stay reliable throughout the job.

WHAT WE STAND FOR

These aren’t slogans. They’re the standards we follow on every job — before the first cut and long after cleanup is finished.

Safety Before Speed

Every job starts with planning, protection, and preparation.

Respect for Property

Lawns, landscaping, and structures matter — we protect them.

Clear Communication

You’ll know what’s happening and why before work begins.

Complete Cleanup

Tree work is messy. We don’t leave it that way.

Accountability

If we touch it, we stand behind it.

No Shortcuts

We don’t rush jobs, cut corners, or sacrifice safety to move faster.

Proudly Fort Worth

Local Crew. Real Accountability.

Howdy Tree Service Co. is based right here in Fort Worth. That means faster response times, real accountability, and a crew that understands local trees, neighborhoods, and storm conditions.

We don’t subcontract work or send crews in from out of town — when you call Howdy, you’re working with professionals who live and work in the same community you do.

Fully insured

No subcontractors

Fast local response

THE HOWDY GUARANTEE

When we take on a job, we take responsibility for how it’s handled — start to finish. If something isn’t right because of our work, we’ll address it. No finger-pointing. No disappearing acts. This isn’t about shortcuts or gimmicks. It’s about standing behind what we do.

READY TO WORK WITH A CREW THAT DOES IT RIGHT?

No pressure. No sales games.
Just professional tree work handled the right way.
