Answer first: We take emergency and scheduled tree calls in Spring Hill and Pine Tree every week, the same as anywhere else in Longview. If a line is down, call SWEPCO first at 888-216-3523. If a tree is on a structure or blocking your only way out, we triage it the same way we would downtown. Trimming, dead-pine removal, and stump grinding book on the regular calendar at the same rates.
Why these neighborhoods see so many tree-on-house calls
Spring Hill and Pine Tree share the same story: subdivisions built in the 1970s and 80s, often with mature loblolly pine left standing or planted close to the house. Forty-plus years later those trees are 60 to 80 feet tall over rooflines that were never built to carry that kind of weight if one comes down. In our research on tree-on-house calls across Gregg County, this pairing of neighborhoods came up as the single most common cluster, more often than any other part of the county. A brown or thinning pine near a Spring Hill or Pine Tree house gets read the same way it would anywhere else: either a scheduled removal today or an emergency call later, and waiting on a leaning pine rarely saves money.
Neither community is its own incorporated city. Spring Hill was annexed by Longview in 1983 and Pine Tree is the name of the local school district, not a city government. That does not change coverage: our pricing and scheduling are the same countywide. Small tree $300-$700, medium tree $700-$1,500, large loblolly or oak $1,500-$3,000 and up, with emergency and storm-night work running 1.5 to 2 times the scheduled rate.

Emergency response in Spring Hill and Pine Tree
A tree on a house, a limb over a driveway people use, or a trunk blocking your only exit is an emergency here the same as anywhere in Longview. We stabilize and tarp the same night, then do the full removal in daylight once the crew can see what the tree is actually doing. That two-visit approach is standard on every emergency call we take, and it keeps you from paying full storm rates for work that could safely wait a few hours. If a downed line is involved anywhere near the tree, SWEPCO clears it first at 888-216-3523.
