Tree Service in Skiatook, OK

Lake lots west of Skiatook are steep, and the house usually sits below the trees, so most removals there come down in pieces on ropes instead of being dropped. That takes more time than a flat lot in town. Post oaks and blackjacks are hard, heavy wood, and the cedars around them add cleanup. Size, slope and what’s underneath set the price; stump grinding and haul-away are included, and the estimate is free.

Not if it’s on your property. The town or Osage and Tulsa counties, depending on the road, clear trees blocking public roads; a tree in your yard is yours. After the July 2013 storm, Skiatook opened a brush dump where residents could drop off debris, but they still had to cut it up and haul it there. When we clear a fallen tree, it’s gone the same day.

The dead of winter is the best time to trim the post oaks and blackjacks in the Osage hills, while they’re fully dormant, and late winter works for most other trees. Cedar can be cut any time, which is why cedar clearing often happens in summer and oak trimming in winter. Storm damage comes off right away.

On a lake lot, trimming is usually cheaper than removal, and it keeps the roots that hold the slope. Opening up a view is often a trim too: raising the canopy and thinning out cedar instead of cutting oaks. Removal pays off when an oak is dead or leaning toward the house, since on a steep lot that tree only gets harder to take down every year.

Yes. On slopes and in tight spots our climbers cut the tree down in sections on ropes, so the pieces are lowered instead of dropped, and we haul everything off.

Yes. We cut the cedar, keep the oaks you want to save, and can grind the stumps so the ground is easy to mow or build on.
