Tree Service in Forest Park, OK

Tree Service in Forest Park is often a call from someone who used to do the work themselves. The town had 1,049 residents in the 2020 census, a median age of 55.3, and almost a third of residents were 65 or older. It is a settled, residential place of about 1.8 square miles in Oklahoma County, with 473 housing units and a homeowner vacancy rate of half a percent. Houses rarely change hands, and the trees around them have had decades to grow. When a big limb needs to come off the roof, many owners here have decided, sensibly, that it is time to hire it out.

Make it simple

We try to make tree work easy for owners who do not want to manage a project. One visit to look and price everything, in writing. One scheduled day for the work. Wood, brush and chips hauled away, the yard raked and blown, gates closed behind us. If you want a family member involved, we are happy to send the estimate to them or talk it through over the phone.

A pruning schedule instead of emergencies

Most of the expensive calls we get start as something small that was left for years: a dead limb that finally falls on a car, a crack in a fork that opens in a windstorm, a tree touching the roof that eventually wears through shingles. On established yards like Forest Park's, a light pruning visit every three to five years for the large trees near the house usually prevents those calls. We remove dead wood, lift limbs away from the roof and the service line, and look for cracks and decay while we are up there.

Things to watch for between visits

1. Dead branches with no leaves in summer, especially over the drive or the roof 2. Mushrooms or fungus shelves at the base of the trunk 3. Cracks where two trunks or big limbs meet 4. Soil heaving or cracking on one side after a storm 5. Limbs that rub or rest on the roof or on wires 6. Sudden thinning at the top of a tree that used to be full

If you see any of these, call. We would rather look at a tree that turns out to be fine than clean up one that was not.

Ice and wind in eastern Oklahoma County

The October 2020 ice storm put a half inch to two inches of ice across central Oklahoma and damaged thousands of trees. Older trees with long horizontal limbs and old wounds took the worst of it. A good pruning before winter, focused on weight and dead wood, is the best way to get through the next one.

Schools and neighbors

Most of Forest Park is in the Midwest City-Del City school district, with a portion in Millwood. That puts the town right in the middle of the area we already serve around Spencer, Midwest City and Nicoma Park.
