Tree trimming and removal in Sand Springs
Crown & Root Tree Service is locally owned in Tulsa, and Sand Springs is part of our regular service area, with no extra travel charge.
Sand Springs sits at the edge of the Cross Timbers, the band of old post oak and cedar woodland that runs across Oklahoma. You can see it at the Keystone Ancient Forest just west of town, where some of the post oaks are around 300 years old and the cedars are older still. A lot of the hillside lots in town carry that same native mix.
Post oaks are tough, but they don’t like having their roots disturbed. A new driveway, an addition or a change in grade can stress one for years before it shows. Eastern red cedar is the opposite problem: it spreads fast and crowds out everything around it. Between the two, a Sand Springs visit is often part trimming, part thinning out cedars that have moved in too close to the house.
The hills matter in a storm, too. After a July 2023 storm, the city said Ward 6 got hit especially hard because the hilly ground near the river funneled the wind into strong gusts. Contractors came through to pick up green waste, but only piles at the curb, cut to lengths a crew could handle.
And you can’t just burn the pile. Open burning isn’t allowed inside Sand Springs city limits, and a variance is only possible on property over 3 acres, with the fire department’s approval. When we do the work, the brush leaves on our trucks the same day, so there’s nothing to burn or drag to the curb.

Questions from Sand Springs homeowners
How much does tree removal cost in Sand Springs?
On the hills in Sand Springs, the ground sets the price as much as the tree does. A big post oak on a slope above the house comes down in pieces on ropes, and getting the wood back up a steep yard takes more hands than a flat lot. Cedars are quicker, but there are usually a lot of them. Size, access and what’s underneath decide the rest. Since you can’t burn inside city limits, haul-away matters here, and it’s always included, along with stump grinding. Free estimate, firm price.
Does the City of Sand Springs remove fallen trees?
Not on private property. After past storms Sand Springs hasn’t always run curbside pickup: in 2013 residents were told to bundle limbs next to the trash cart, 4 feet long and 25 pounds at most, or bring them to a city chipper day, and after the 2023 storm the city sent contractors through Ward 6 only for piles at the curb. You can’t burn the pile inside city limits either. When we clear a fallen tree, it’s cut, loaded and gone the same day.
What month is best to trim trees in Sand Springs?
Late winter for most trees, and the dead of winter for post oaks and other oaks, which are best cut while fully dormant. With the leaves off we can see what the wind off the river and the hills has done to the crown, and the cuts seal as spring growth starts. Cedars can be cut any time of year. Broken limbs from a storm come off right away.
Is it cheaper to trim a tree or cut it down in Sand Springs?
Trimming is cheaper when the tree is worth keeping, and an old post oak usually is: some of the post oaks just west of town are around 300 years old, and they don’t grow back. Thinning out the deadwood keeps one standing. Cedars are the opposite. Trimming a cedar crowding the house only buys a year or two, and cutting it out at the ground is usually the cheaper fix for good.
Can I burn tree limbs in Sand Springs?
Not inside city limits. The city only allows a variance on property over 3 acres, with approval from the Sand Springs Fire Department. When we trim or remove a tree, haul-away is included, so there’s nothing left to burn.
Should I cut down the cedar trees near my house?
Usually, yes. Eastern red cedar spreads fast, crowds out the trees you want to keep and burns hot, which is the last thing you want next to the house. We cut them out, grind the stumps if you want and haul everything off.
