Trees are often beautiful, and they can provide a number of benefits to Oklahoma properties. However, trees can also create a variety of problems, ranging from safety risks to poor property visibility. They can even attract pests or make it challenging to grow a lawn you can be proud of.
That’s why Oklahoma residents must occasionally have trees removed from their properties. The problem is that most homeowners and commercial property managers have no idea where to turn when they need a tree removed. They hear horror stories about unprofessional tree removal companies causing damage to properties and charging hidden “gotcha” fees once they’re done.

Unfortunately, many homeowners don’t realize that they have a problematic tree growing on their property. But when left in place, these kinds of trees can cause significant damage to your home and put your family’s safety at risk. That’s why it is always important to contact Elion Landscaping & Tree Service if you notice any of the following signs.
Cracks in the trunk or large branches of a tree represent an emergency situation, as they indicate that the tree is already actively failing. These kinds of defects can cause the branch to fall (or the entire tree to collapse) at any moment, without any warning at all.
Hollows are something that should never be ignored as they indicate that the tree’s structure has been compromised and that decay is likely present. This means that the tree cannot properly support its own weight, putting it at extreme risk of failure.
Mushrooms growing on a tree or on the ground above the tree’s roots indicate the presence of hidden fungi. These fungi may be silently digesting the tree’s living tissues and wood, putting it at risk of failing. In some cases, these fungi may even spread to nearby trees.
Some trees lean naturally, often in an attempt to reach more sunlight. But while this is not always cause for concern, trees that begin leaning more than they normally do are almost always hazardous and often indicate problems with the roots below the surface.
One of the most dangerous signs to see near a tree, shifting or mounding soil often indicates that the soil’s structure is breaking down and that the roots are slipping free. These cases should be considered an emergency, and you’ll want to prevent access to the area and contact us immediately.

While a single bug or handful of diseased leaves may not necessitate the immediate removal of a tree, significant attacks from insects or disease can quickly send a tree into decline. Often, removal is recommended at these times to not only reduce risk but help protect the other trees in your yard.
Trees that have already dropped branches are likely to drop additional branches in the future. In some cases, the selective pruning of ailing branches may be enough to make the tree safe, but in other cases, tree removal will be the best course of action.
Trees that do not leaf out, shed their leaves prematurely, or are covered in dead leaves should always be evaluated for removal. And prompt action is warranted, as trees become more and more brittle the longer they’re allowed to decline, which may increase the costs of removal.
While trees can certainly provide a number of benefits, ranging from improved property aesthetics to reduced home cooling bills, they can also create several problems. But on the other hand, removing a tree from your property may help provide a number of benefits too.
Removing a damaged, diseased, or dead tree from your property will help keep your family safe and protect your home from property damage.
By removing large, overgrown trees, you’ll be able to access more of your property and get better value from the space available.
Removing one or more trees from your property will reduce the amount of raking and leaf blowing you’ll have to do.
By clearing out an old or ailing tree, you can replace it with a new, young tree that’ll look better and improve your home’s curb appeal.
Lots of insects, from roaches to mosquitoes, use trees as habitat, so by removing them you’ll reduce your local pest population.
Many common trees produce a ton of pollen in the spring and summer, which can cause irritating allergy symptoms, ranging from headaches to watering eyes.
To enjoy these and other benefits, contact Elion Landscaping & Tree Service for tree removal in Oklahoma!
Because tree removal is very dangerous work, which may put your home and family at risk, you should never trust just anyone with your tree removal needs.

We’ll be happy to provide the professional tree removal services you need, while offering the kind of unmatched customer service that has helped us earn such a good reputation among your friends and neighbors.
There are several different ways that trees can be removed, and the specific method we choose will vary based on the size, health, and species of the tree, as well as the details of your property. Typically, we’ll employ one of the following techniques when removing trees in Oklahoma.
Tree felling refers to the removal of a tree without needing to climb it or access the top using any type of lift. Instead, the tree is carefully cut near the base, while we use ropes and wedges to ensure that it falls in the proper spot. This kind of tree removal is the most affordable approach, but it is only appropriate for relatively large and open properties.
When there isn’t enough space available or the tree presents other types of hazards, we’ll often use an aerial lift to help access the upper portions of the tree. We’ll then cut small, manageable portions of the tree at a time and use ropes to guide them safely to the ground. Because we can remove trees quickly in this manner, it’s a very common approach.
In some cases, we may not be able to access a tree with an aerial lift. For example, the tree may be located in an inaccessible portion of your property, or it may be growing near power lines, preventing the aerial lift from accessing the tree. In these cases, we’ll send one of our skilled climbers up the tree to remove and lower small pieces to the ground.
While tree removal can sometimes be scheduled in advance at a convenient time, there are also cases in which a tree starts presenting an immediate — and often unexpected — risk. These kinds of trees often require emergency removal, in which we’ll send our crew to your property to quickly, efficiently, and safely remove the tree posing the hazard.
Occasionally, homeowners have trees that have already fallen on their property, which they need removed. We’ll gladly provide these kinds of services and always recommend that homeowners contact us in these situations, as downed trees can react in unpredictable ways when cut. This can lead to serious injuries or even leave you trapped beneath the tree.

The exact cost of a tree removal job will vary based on the size, location, health, and condition of the tree, along with a variety of other factors. With that said, most tree removal projects will cost between $500 (for a small tree) to more than $5,000 for a large tree in poor health. If you’d like to find out how much it would be to remove a tree on your property, simply visit our contact page to schedule a free estimate.
In most cases, you do not need a license to remove trees in Oklahoma. This is part of the reason it is so important to choose a tree-removal company you can trust and avoid shady, fly-by-night tree companies, who may put your home or family at risk.
You can cut down a tree in your own yard in most municipalities in Oklahoma, but some cities or counties do require a permit. We’ll gladly discuss whether you need a permit or not to cut down your trees and provide guidance for navigating the process if necessary.
Insurance will usually not pay for the removal of a standing tree, but every insurance company and policy are different. We recommend contacting your insurance company directly to find out if they’ll help pay to have trees removed from your property.
Trees with dead branches, large hollows, or cracks should often be removed. Additionally, trees that have mushrooms or have started to lean in one direction may also require removal to keep your property safe.
It is impossible to determine how long an individual tree will remain standing after it dies. In some cases, the tree may remain standing for years, but other trees may fall within a matter of weeks. We recommend contacting Elion Landscaping & Tree Service and arranging for an assessment to learn more about the dead trees on your property.
It depends on the size of the tree. It may only take a few minutes to remove a small tree measuring 10 feet or so, whereas removing a large tree may require multiple days to complete the job safely.
