In 1964, Major Milo E. Myers married my beautiful mother, Mary Ellen Moak, the widow of a distinguished U.S Air Force Hero, B-17 pilot, B-52 pilot and our great dad, Major John C. Moak. The wedding took place at Lackland AFB in San Antonio Texas.. Mary E. Moak became Mrs. Mary E. Myers and now could face the future with a bit more security for her 5 young sons as Milo assumed the Unselfish position of Dad to her 5 young boys.
Following his retirement from the US Air Force as a Super Sonic B-58 Hustler pilot, Milo E Myers started Myers Marine Construction in 1972. Focusing on building docks, sea walls, bulkheads and bridges in Myrtle Beach, S.C. which by default became a tree oriented business.
It grew and grew. Anyone visiting or living in Myrtle Beach, S.C. knows it is the land of Golf Courses and beautiful trees. We discovered that pretty much any project we began, from building a bridge from the Green at hole # 17 to the start of hole # 18, trees often had to be protected or removed. Throw in a Hurricane or two, (Yugo) and we, as a family came to know and understand the nature of what it takes to manage, trim, repair, treat and often remove trees and/or dangerous limbs. The Tree business became second nature to Milo's sons and it's been pretty much a family business ever since.
From San Antonio to Myrtle Beach, to Mississippi and Louisiana.
We've completed the full circle back to Texas.
where It looks and feels like home here in Houston, Texas.
Hello Houston!! What a great place!! We are roaming no longer.
We are home again. Hello Texas!! We are back where it began.
and we are delighted to be back in the Lone Star State.
Been here 11 years now!
Expanding back into Texas we still go by the handle of.
Myers Marine Construction, Gulf Coast, LLC.
And NO, we haven't changed our name. We simply have two handles you can call us by, including THE LONE STAR TREE CZAR. A lil secret: Since Myers Marine Construction Gulf Coast, LLC was our name and that will never change, when we decided to get modern with our own web presence, we thought it would be a good idea to have the word "Tree" appear somewhere in our title.. duh. And of course it wouldn't hurt to continue with some clever wording which would remind us and our customers of our Texas roots and that we are in Texas!
thus was born.
THE LONE STAR TREE CZAR
So working under both names, we've worked tirelessly to improve many areas of Texas, especially whenever and wherever Mother Nature has sent us reminders of her fury. We have tested our metal on Large storms like Hurricane Ike, Katrina and Rita and Harvey. On our links page you can find a few videos our crews hard at work, where on one job alone, we removed around 4,000 trees deposited in or around Panthers Branch, Bear Branch, and The Kuykendahl Spillway of what essentially was 9 miles of flood control that weaved itself throughout The Woodlands. That job lasted 4 months in 2009.. removing and cleaning up the mess of trees Ike were deposited in or near those flood controlled waterways. By removing the literal "Log Jams" in those 9 miles, we reduced the risk of flooding as well as the new habitats for snakes and mosquitos, that had taken unfair advantage of those log jammed waterways.
The Woodlands contract with the USDA/NRCS was one of 16 contracts that Myers Marine Construction, Gulf Coast has performed with our specialty of removing trees from waterways. That was our specialty and over the years and in this case The Woodlands contract was our first joint partnership with The San Jacinto River Authority and the USDA. Of course they were deeeeelighted with our work as were the residents of The Woodlands
Removing those 4,000 dead and broken trees was a major challenge, that we accepted and after 4 months, proved that there is no job too big or too small for this Tree Czar. It was just one more job for us and as is always the case, we demonstrated our professional approach and our commitment to deliver for our customers exactly what they needed and expected and at a cost that more often than not was the lowest price in a very competitive market.
Your consideration in allowing our hard working crews to deliver to you a professional service, safely, is and will always be appreciated!
And We thank you for that consideration.
We are committed to making sure that when you choose
The Lone Star Tree Czar..
It's a choice you will always be happy you made.
