Trees are undeniably valuable assets for homeowners and commercial property managers. They help reduce energy bills, runoff water, and erosion, while also helping to improve the overall aesthetics of any property. But trees can also create logistical headaches or present safety risks, which means that some trees need to be removed.
And unfortunately, because most people don’t have an existing relationship with a tree care company, homeowners and property managers rarely know where to turn for safe and professional tree removal services. But that’s not a problem for those in the Norman, Oklahoma area. Simply contact Elion — the best tree removal service around.

It can be disheartening to realize you need to remove one of your beloved trees, but that’s an unfortunate reality at times. For all the value they provide, trees can also present risks to your safety and the integrity of your property. And unfortunately, many homeowners and property managers don’t realize the problems their trees are causing.
So, be sure to watch for any of the following signs, which may indicate you need a tree removed, including:
Large cracks aren’t a sign of potential trouble; they’re a sign that your tree is already failing. This can be a sign of imminent collapse, so you’ll want to have the tree assessed immediately and removed if necessary.
Large hollows don’t always spell danger—some trees can stay strong and healthy for decades even with hollow sections. Still, it’s important to have a tree-care professional inspect the tree and recommend the best course of action.
Mushrooms or other fungal growth on or around a tree—even in the nearby soil—can be a warning sign of internal decay in the trunk or root system. In many cases, mushrooms don’t appear until the fungus has already caused significant hidden damage.
Some trees grow in a leaning manner for their entire lives, often in an effort to reach more sunlight. That’s not always a problem, but trees that start to lean suddenly or lean farther than they have should always be assessed promptly.
If you see the soil around a tree shifting or “lifting,” you’ll want to keep everyone away from the tree and contact a tree-removal professional immediately. These kinds of signs typically indicate that the soil or roots are no longer able to anchor the tree properly.
Some pests and diseases are mostly cosmetic and may clear up on their own. Others—like emerald ash borer or pine wilt disease—can rapidly kill a tree, turning it into a serious hazard for nearby people and property.
Trees naturally shed branches at times, but trees that suddenly shed healthy-looking limbs may be suffering from a number of problems. And because previous limb drop is often linked to future limb drop, you’ll want to have these kinds of trees examined by a tree-care expert.
Dying branches in the canopy should never be ignored, since they can be linked to serious diseases like oak wilt. A professional arborist should inspect the tree—sometimes pruning is enough, but in other cases, full removal is the safer choice.
Shallow-rooted trees—like willows and maples—can sometimes cause your home or business’s foundation to shift or crack. Removing problem trees early can help you avoid major structural damage and potentially save tens of thousands of dollars in repairs.
Shallow-rooted trees can also wreak havoc on water pipes, sewer lines, and septic systems, which can lead to huge and expensive problems when not addressed. At times, tree roots can even damage buried electric or natural gas lines too.
Tree removal is dangerous work, which is why it’s so important to hire a professional service with the right knowledge, skills, and experience to keep your home, family, or staff safe throughout the process. Unfortunately, many unqualified tree-care companies end up causing property damage or putting people at risk. You can avoid those problems by choosing a trusted team of tree-removal experts—like the professionals at Elion Landscaping & Tree Service.
Hazardous trees can drop large limbs or fall with almost no warning. At best, this might just damage your landscaping—but too often, it leads to serious property damage, injuries, or worse. Once a tree is removed, its risk is eliminated, giving you complete peace of mind.
Trees often block access to various parts of a property, making it difficult to mow, tend plants, or travel through the area. And when trees grow near structures, they can make it impossible to access things like water spigots, utility meters, entrances, and exits. They can even block sight lines, ruin beautiful views, or prevent customers from seeing your storefront. But once you have the offending trees removed, all of these problems go away.
No tree is completely maintenance-free—most will drop leaves or needles (even “evergreens” shed needles). Many also produce flowers or fruit, and in some cases, the fallen fruit can even create slip or trip hazards. This means you’ll likely need to spend time, effort, or money on cleanup several times a year—unless the trees are removed.
There are actually a number of tree species that tend to thrive in the Norman, Oklahoma area, providing tons of benefits without creating many problems at all. But to enjoy these kinds of high-value trees, you’ll often find it necessary to remove existing trees to create sufficient space for their replacements. In fact, this is one of the most common reasons Oklahoma residents and property managers have trees removed.
Trees offer valuable resources for wildlife—nectar for butterflies, acorns for deer, and shelter for songbirds. But they also attract less welcome animals, such as roaches, rats, and mice. To help cut down on nuisance wildlife populations, many homeowners and property managers choose to have certain trees removed.
Flowering trees may look beautiful, but many species—such as oaks, cedars, and mulberries—produce large amounts of pollen. This can trigger months of sneezing, congestion, and other allergy symptoms. For people who suffer during spring and early summer, removing these trees and replacing them with low-pollen alternatives can make a big difference.
Because no two trees, properties, or customers are the same, we treat every tree-removal job as a unique project. In fact, devising customized tree-removal solutions is something we take great pride in. However, we have developed a fairly consistent approach to tree removal, which we use as a starting point.
This process unfolds in three different steps:
Once you notice that a tree may require removal, you submit an estimate request form. One of our tree-removal specialists will then visit your property and provide you with a written estimate outlining all of the costs involved.
After you’ve given us the green light, we’ll devise a plan to remove the tree safely, while protecting the surrounding area. We’ll then gather the necessary tools and equipment, assemble the team members necessary to carry out the work, and remove the tree.
After removing the tree, we’ll clean up all of the debris produced, using care to ensure your property looks just as good as it did when we arrived. One of our team members will then review the work with you and ensure your complete satisfaction.
Not all tree removal jobs are the same, and different trees and properties require different removal techniques. But while we can handle any kind of tree removal job you need, the following types of removals are the most common ones Norman, Oklahoma residents and property managers need:
Tree Felling: Tree felling means cutting the tree low to the ground in a skilled way and guiding it down with high-strength ropes. Since it can be done from the ground, this is usually the fastest, simplest, and most affordable removal method. It works best for healthy trees on larger properties.
Aerial Lift Assisted Removal: This method uses a bucket truck or other lift to reach the higher parts of a tree. The arborist removes the tree in small, controlled sections, lowering each piece carefully to the ground. Lift-assisted removal is often the best choice for trees that hang over homes, driveways, or roads.
Climber Assisted Removal: Some trees grow in spots that lifts simply can’t reach. In those cases, one of our skilled climbers will ascend the tree and dismantle it piece by piece, using ropes to safely lower each cut limb. This is often the only option for trees overhanging structures in tight or difficult-to-reach spaces.
Emergency Removal: Certain trees pose an immediate danger to people or property—for example, when a failing tree gets stuck leaning against another instead of falling fully. These situations are extremely hazardous and always require professional help. We use specialized techniques to handle emergency removals safely and efficiently.
Down Tree Removal: Even when a tree has already fallen, it can still be dangerous. Fallen trees often shift unpredictably when cut, making injuries common for anyone who isn’t trained. That’s why downed tree removal should always be left to professionals.
