Norman · day or night
When the storm wins, call us.
Trees on houses, hangers over driveways, leaners with lifted roots — emergency tree removal with the price said out loud before the saw starts.
Norman keeps getting tested
This city does not get to skip storm seasons. An EF1 tornado tracked through Norman in April 2024. That November, tornadoes hit the metro again — at night. And the October 2020 ice storm remains the benchmark: a glaze that landed on trees still in leaf and broke canopies across the entire metro at once. Around here, storm damage is not a possibility you insure against and forget. It is a season on the calendar.
We plan for it the same way. When the weather turns, our schedule flips from booked work to triage, worst-first.
The first hour
Before anyone touches a saw, three rules. First: if any limb is on a power line — including the drop that feeds your own meter — that is the utility’s problem before it is anyone else’s. Stay back and report it. Second: bent and pinned limbs store violent energy. A loaded limb can release like a spring when cut, which is why storm work injures so many chainsaw owners in the days after the wind dies. Third: photograph everything before cleanup starts. Your insurance adjuster wants to see the tree on the house, not a clean lawn and an invoice.
Then call us. We will tell you honestly whether your situation is a tonight problem or a this-week problem.
Call now, or let it wait
Call now
- A tree or limb is on the house, garage, or a vehicle.
- A broken limb hangs over a door, driveway, or anywhere kids play.
- A whole tree leans with its root plate lifted out of the ground.
- Anything is within reach of a power line — utility first, then us.
It can wait
- Small branches scattered on the lawn.
- Broken interior twigs and deadwood high in the crown.
- A tree that shed a limb over open ground, with nothing underneath.
- Anything you are tempted to ladder-and-chainsaw yourself. Please wait.
Emergency pricing, said out loud
Emergency work can run to $5,000 — that is the honest ceiling for the worst overnight, tree-through-roof jobs with a crane on the invoice. Most storm calls cost far less, and a typical removal in calm conditions averages about $750. Either way, the rule does not change: you hear the number before we start, even in the dark. Storm victims get quoted, not harvested.
After the urgent piece is done, the rest of the cleanup can usually wait for a calm-season price. We will split the job that way ourselves and tell you which half is which.
Watch the sky like we do
The National Weather Service forecast office that covers the whole Oklahoma City metro sits right here in Norman. Their forecasts, watches, and warnings at weather.gov/oun are the straightest weather information you can get, straight from the people who issue it. For the slow-motion version of storm damage — what glaze ice actually does to a canopy and how to get ahead of it — read our ice storm guide.
If it’s on the house, call now.
