Tree Service in Oologah, OK

Near Oologah Lake trees catch more wind than in a sheltered neighborhood, so a lot of removals here are storm-damaged trees, which take more care than sound ones. Bottomland trees along the Verdigris grow big and heavy. Size, condition and what’s underneath set the price; stump grinding and haul-away are included, and our emergency team is typically on site within 1 to 2 hours when a tree is on something.

Not on private property. The town clears its streets and Rogers County its roads; a tree in your yard is yours. Oologah knows storms better than most since the 1991 tornado. When we clear a fallen tree, it’s cut up and hauled off the same day, and we help with the insurance claim.

Late winter for most trees, so the weight comes off long limbs before the spring storms that sweep across the open ground near the lake. Oaks are best done in the dead of winter. Broken limbs from a storm come off right away, any month.

If the trunk is sound, trimming a storm-damaged tree is cheaper than removing it: clean up the broken stub, balance the crown and it keeps growing. If the break runs into the trunk, or the tree has lost a big share of its crown, it’s a removal, and doing it before the next windstorm costs less than after.

Stay clear of any hanging limbs and any wire it touched. Once it’s safe, the broken stub needs a clean cut back to the next branch or the trunk so the tree can seal over, and the limbs left on that side may need lightening so the tree stays balanced. Our emergency team is typically on site within 1 to 2 hours when it’s on something.
