Tree Removal in Cache, OK

Cache is a small Comanche County city of about 2,930 people, and tree removal and the rest of our work here splits two ways: neighborhood lots in town and bigger parcels on the edges where a single property may have a windbreak, a few pasture trees and an old shade tree by the house. We handle both, from careful trimming over a roof to clearing out a fence line that has grown shut.

Trimming and pruning comes first

Most calls in Cache start with a tree that has simply gotten too big for where it stands. Limbs rub the roof, hang over the driveway or block the view from the road. The right fix is usually reduction pruning: cutting a long limb back to a smaller branch that can take over, instead of stubbing it off. That keeps the tree's shape, closes faster and does not trigger the flush of weak sprouts that comes from topping.

We also lift canopies so you can mow underneath and get a truck past, and we clean out deadwood that collects in older elms, hackberries and oaks. Deadwood is the first thing to fall in a thunderstorm, so removing it is cheap insurance.

Stump grinding after a removal

When a tree comes out, the stump is often the part that bothers people most: it catches the mower, sprouts suckers and sits in the middle of the yard. We grind stumps below the surface and can chase the larger surface roots a few feet out. On rural parcels with several stumps along an old fence row, we can work down the line in one visit.

Rock and elevation

Cache sits at about 1,247 feet, on rising ground west of Lawton heading toward the Wichita Mountains. The higher you go in this part of the county, the more often we find rock near the surface. A grinder handles it, but rock does limit how deep we can go, and we will tell you before we start if we expect to hit it.

Historic places in town

Cache has several sites on the National Register of Historic Places, including the Star House, the home of Comanche chief Quanah Parker, and Eagle Park. Trees around historic structures need extra care because a falling limb or a careless drop can do damage that is hard to undo. If your property sits near one of these sites or has an older outbuilding of its own, we plan cuts and lowering so nothing swings toward the structure.

Removing a tree that is too far gone

Some trees cannot be saved by pruning: a split trunk, heavy decay at the base, or a lean that has gotten worse after a storm. On larger lots we can sometimes fell a tree whole. Near a house, a shop or a power line we take it down in pieces. Either way, we look at the drop zone first and keep brush and wood off your driveway and septic area.
