Tree trimming and removal in Broken Arrow

Crown & Root Tree Service is locally owned in Tulsa, and Broken Arrow is part of our regular service area, with no extra travel charge.

Broken Arrow is the fourth-largest city in Oklahoma, around 120,000 people spread over about 55 square miles. A lot of that is newer construction, so a lot of BA yards have trees that are still young, ten or twenty years into building a root system.

Young trees are where trimming pays off most. A second leader or a limb growing at a tight angle is easy to fix while it’s the size of a broom handle and a lot harder once it’s hanging over the roof. If your tree has two trunks fighting for the top, have it looked at before the next spring storm.

Here’s the part people find out after the work is done: the trash cart only holds so much. In Broken Arrow a big pile of limbs becomes a scheduled bulky waste pickup, billed by the cubic yard, and the city’s own way of picturing a cubic yard is a washing machine. One medium tree makes a lot of washing machines. When we do the job, cleanup and haul-away are in the price and the brush leaves with us the same day.

About the name

Broken Arrow takes its name from Rekackv, a Muscogee (Creek) word meaning “broken arrow.” It was the name of a community whose people were forced from their homeland in Alabama and relocated here. As the story goes, the name came from the way community members gathered river cane and bois d’arc limbs, snapping them by hand for making arrows.

It’s a serious piece of history behind a name a lot of people use every day without a second thought. It also means this city has been tied to its cane and its bois d’arc, and to the work of cutting and shaping wood by hand, for a lot longer than we’ve been doing it.

Questions from Broken Arrow homeowners

How much does tree removal cost in Broken Arrow?

Every removal in Broken Arrow is priced on the tree in front of us: how tall and wide it is, whether it’s dead or still sound, and what’s underneath it. A lot of BA backyards are newer lots with privacy fences, sheds and patios close together, so the tree comes down in pieces on ropes instead of being dropped, and that takes longer. A storm-split tree hanging over a roof takes more work than the same tree on a calm day. Stump grinding and haul-away are included, so the city’s bulky waste fee never comes into it. We come out free, any day 7 to 7, and give you a firm price before we start.

Will the City of Broken Arrow remove a fallen tree?

Not if it fell on your property. The City of Broken Arrow clears trees that block streets and public land; a tree in your yard is yours to deal with, even after a storm. During past storm cleanups the city took limbs with regular trash when they were cut to 4 feet and tied in bundles about a foot thick, and a whole tree becomes a scheduled bulky waste pickup billed by the cubic yard. After some big storms the city has run free curbside pickups, but you can’t count on one. When we clear a fallen tree, every piece leaves on our trucks the same day.

What time of year is best to trim trees in Broken Arrow?

For most shade trees in Broken Arrow, late winter is best, before the leaves come out. With the leaves off every cut is easy to see, and Oklahoma State University Extension recommends late winter because the cuts sit open for the shortest time before the tree starts sealing them. That’s also the time to shape the young trees in BA’s newer neighborhoods, before a second leader gets big. Redbuds and other spring bloomers wait until right after they flower. Dead or storm-broken limbs don’t wait for a season: those come off any time of year.

Should I trim my tree or have it removed in Broken Arrow?

Trimming is almost always cheaper, and in Broken Arrow it usually makes more sense too: most BA trees are young and healthy, and a few well-placed cuts now fix a weak fork for a fraction of the work it takes later. Removal is the better buy only when the tree is dead, hollow, split down the trunk or leaning at the house, because otherwise you pay to trim it now and pay again to take it down later. We look at the tree for free and tell you which one it needs.
