Room to Grow, and Trees That Did

Tree Service in Nicoma Park usually involves more tree than the homeowner expected. The city spreads about 2,300 residents over roughly 3.4 square miles, about 688 people per square mile, which is a much looser pattern than the suburbs to the west. Lots are roomy, many homes have been owned for a long time, and trees planted decades ago have filled the space. In 2020, 78.2% of occupied homes were owner-occupied.

A name with a story

Nicoma Park's name is a blend: the first three letters of Nichols, for Oklahoma City developer G.A. Nichols, plus the last three letters of Oklahoma. Nichols is the same developer behind Nichols Hills, but the two places could not be more different. Where Nichols Hills is a formal, landscaped city, Nicoma Park is practical and open, with bigger yards, outbuildings and room for gardens.

Where the work tends to be

On larger lots, trees are spread out and get less attention until something goes wrong. Common calls include:

A tree along the back fence that died two summers ago and is starting to drop limbs
Elms, hackberry or cedars that came up along a fence and are now pushing it over
A big shade tree over the house that has not been pruned in 20 years
Storm-broken limbs hung up high in the crown
Stumps left from old removals that make mowing harder
Branches tangled in the service wire to the house or shop

Planting the right tree in the right place

When you replace a tree, think about the lines first. OG&E asks people not to plant trees or shrubs directly under power lines or within six feet of poles, and recommends at least 20 feet of distance from lines for medium trees up to 40 feet tall, and 50 feet for large trees. Call 811 before you dig to have buried utilities marked. On a big Nicoma Park lot, there is almost always a spot that meets those distances.

Wind and ice on open lots

Trees standing alone in open yards take more wind than trees in a dense neighborhood. They also tend to grow long, low, heavy limbs that reach out toward the light. Those are the limbs that break under ice. Reducing their length and removing dead wood every few years is the best maintenance a big-lot tree can get.

Nicoma Park Questions

How close to my house can I plant a new shade tree?

For a large shade tree, 20 feet or more from the foundation is a good starting point, and keep it well away from overhead lines. OG&E recommends 50 feet from lines for large trees. Call 811 before digging.

Can you remove trees growing into my fence?

Yes. We cut them as close to the fence as is safe, and grind or treat the stumps so they do not come back. If the fence is shared, let your neighbor know first.

Do you charge for coming out to look?

No. The estimate is free, and it is in writing so you can compare it or think it over.

A dead tree is standing in the back of my lot, away from the house. Can it wait?

If nothing is within reach when it falls, it may be able to wait a while, but dead trees get more brittle and more dangerous to cut the longer they stand. A tree that is easy to drop today can need slow, piece-by-piece work in two years. It is usually cheaper to deal with it sooner.

Can you prune a tree that has not been touched in decades?

Yes, but we spread the work out. Taking off too much live wood at once stresses an old tree. We remove the dead and dangerous wood first and do any heavier reduction over one or two later visits.

Do you grind old stumps that have been there for years?

Yes. Old stumps are often partly rotted and grind quickly. We grind below the surface so you can level it and seed grass over the spot.
