Tree Service in Bixby, OK

In Bixby the price depends on the tree and the lot. The older neighborhoods have tall shade trees that went years without a trim, and taking one of those down over a roof means a climber, ropes and more hours. Newer lots on both sides of the river are usually quicker. Size, how close it stands to the house or lines, and whether it’s already storm-damaged decide the rest. Stump grinding and same-day haul-away are included, which matters in a town that hasn’t always run curbside pickup after storms. The estimate is free and the price is firm.

Not if it’s on your property. The city deals with trees blocking streets and public land. After the July 2013 windstorm Bixby told residents it had no plans for curbside pickup, and after the 2016 storm it opened a drop-off site on 131st Street for residents with a water bill instead. Either way, the limbs were the homeowner’s to cut and haul. When we clear a fallen tree in Bixby, nothing is left for you to load.

Late winter for most trees: the leaves are down, the structure is easy to see, and the cuts seal fast once spring growth starts. Late fall after the leaves drop works for most shade trees too, and it gets weight off long limbs before ice season, which is what breaks the tall old trees in Bixby’s older neighborhoods. Oaks are best trimmed in the dead of winter, and flowering trees like redbuds right after they bloom. Dead or broken limbs come off any time.

A trim almost always costs less, and most of Bixby’s big older trees only need the deadwood out and weight off the long limbs to stay safe for years. Even a tree that’s gone a decade without a trim usually needs a bigger trim, not a removal. Removal is cheaper in the long run only when the tree is dead, hollow, split or leaning at the house. We’ll walk the yard with you and tell you which trees fall in which group.
