Gladewater sits where US 80 crosses US 271, mostly in Gregg County with part of town in Upshur County. The older homes around downtown sit under mature pines and hardwoods, with shaded lawns and leaf-filled beds every fall. Outside town the lots open up into acreage with woods, fence lines and long drives, and some properties sit out toward Lake Gladewater. The ground is the same sandy loam over clay found across this part of East Texas.
That mix shapes the work. In town that usually means mowing, hedges, leaf cleanup and bed refreshes under big trees. On the larger properties it's more about keeping a big lawn cut on a steady schedule, trimming along fences and ditches and solving drainage across a whole lot instead of one corner. Gladewater is a little farther out than White Oak, so we'll be straight with you about how often we can be there before you sign up.
What Gladewater yards deal with
Big trees in town
Older Gladewater streets have tall pines and hardwoods over the yards. Expect a heavy leaf drop, shaded St. Augustine and beds that need shade plants and mulch more than sun lovers.
Acreage outside town
Larger lots past the edge of town mean longer mowing days, more fence line to trim and drainage that has to be solved across a whole property.
Sand over clay
Like most of Gregg County, Gladewater ground is sandy on top with clay below. It drains well until the top saturates, and then low spots stay wet after a long rain.

$900 to $3,600 most projectsDrainage & Grading
On bigger Gladewater properties, water problems often start upslope: a neighboring field, a road ditch or a long drive sending runoff toward the house.
$2,000 to $3,750 most projectsMulch Installation
With heavy tree cover over many Gladewater yards, mulch breaks down and gets buried under leaves faster than people expect.
$600 to $2,400 most bedsFertilization
Gladewater's sandy topsoil lets nutrients wash through quickly, especially after a long rain.
From about $190 per visitTree & Shrub Care
Plenty of established Gladewater yards have shrubs and ornamental trees that outgrew their space: crepe myrtles crowding a roofline, hollies swallowing a walk, small trees leaning into a fence.

$1,500 to $4,700 most projectsIrrigation & Sprinkler Systems
Gladewater properties often have more ground than anyone wants to water, so we focus the system where it counts: the lawn and beds around the house, zoned by sun and shade, with drip in the beds.

Where a Gladewater yard slopes toward the house or a drive cuts into a bank, a wall holds the soil and creates level ground.

They cleared the area quickly, removing overgrowth, debris, and ensuring proper drainage. Highly recommend Miller for any type of lawn care!”
