Tree trimming and removal in Jenks
Crown & Root Tree Service is locally owned in Tulsa, and Jenks is part of our regular service area, with no extra travel charge.
Jenks started in 1904 as a stop on the Midland Valley Railroad, right on the Arkansas River, and it flooded often enough in its early years that the Army Corps of Engineers built a levee around it. That levee circles about 7.8 miles of the city today. In 1986, when Keystone Dam had to release record amounts of water, Jenks was one of the river towns under a mandatory evacuation.
That river history is still in the ground. A lot of Jenks sits on river-bottom soil, and it grows cottonwood, sycamore, willow and silver maple fast. Fast-grown wood is weak wood, and soft wet ground doesn’t hold a root plate the way hard clay on a hillside does. After a long soaking rain, a big tree that already leans can go over whole, roots and all.
So on a Jenks job we check two things before we cut: how well the tree is anchored and where it would land. Taking weight off the long limbs over a roof is usually the fix. When a tree does have to come down, we take it in pieces and haul every bit of it off the same day.

Questions from Jenks homeowners
How much does tree removal cost in Jenks?
Removal prices in Jenks come down to the size of the tree, what’s under it and the ground around it. River-bottom lots inside the levee can stay soft for days after a rain, so we plan where equipment can go without rutting the yard, and a big cottonwood or sycamore over a house comes down in pieces on ropes. A dead tree costs less to take down before a storm than after one breaks it. Stump grinding, cleanup and haul-away are always in the price, and the estimate is free and firm.
Does the City of Jenks remove fallen trees?
Only when it’s in the city’s way. The City of Jenks clears trees blocking streets and public land; a tree that falls in your yard is usually yours to clear, even when it came from next door, and your homeowners insurance may help if it hit the house or a fence. Residential trash in Jenks is handled by American Waste Control, so ask them what they’ll take before you stack limbs at the curb. A tree on a power line is the power company’s call: stay back and phone them first. For the rest, we cut it up and haul every piece off the same day.
What month is best to trim trees in Jenks?
Late winter, before the cottonwoods and maples leaf out, is the best time for most trimming in Jenks. The leaves are gone so the structure is easy to read, and the cuts start sealing as soon as spring growth begins. Fast growers along the river also put on a lot of weight in one season, so a winter trim takes the load off long limbs before the spring storms and the next ice storm. Broken or hanging limbs come off right away, any month.
Is it cheaper to trim a tree or cut it down in Jenks?
Trimming usually costs less, but in Jenks the soil matters. A healthy cottonwood or sycamore that just needs weight taken off the long limbs is a trim. One that’s leaning toward the house on soft river-bottom ground, or hollow at the base, is the kind of tree that pulls out roots and all after a soaking rain, and trimming it is money spent on a tree that still has to come down. We’ll tell you honestly which one you’ve got.
Should I remove a big cottonwood tree near my house in Jenks?
Not automatically. Cottonwoods grow fast and drop limbs, and wet river-bottom ground can let a leaning one pull out by the roots after heavy rain. We’ll look at the lean, the base and the limbs over the house and tell you straight whether it needs a trim, a removal or nothing at all. The estimate is free.
