Why OAK
Why Choose OAK Across the Southeast
Three things set OAK apart: an ISA Certified Arborist leads every job (we keep multiple certified on staff so coverage never depends on one person), TCIA accreditation that places us in the top 2% of US tree services, and 21 years of documented work across the Southeast — including a 126-ft tree crane most regional outfits do not own.
Locally Rooted Since 2005
21 years of CSRA-based tree work. We know every neighborhood, species, and storm pattern in this region — out-of-state crews don't.
Certified Arborist Owner
Charles Rice is the owner AND the certified arborist on staff — not a hired-on cert. ISA Certified for 14 years.
Top 2% Nationally
TCIA Accredited since 2016 — placing OAK in the top 2% of all tree companies in the country.
BBB A+ Rated
50+ verified Google reviews and an A+ Better Business Bureau rating across two decades of work.
126-ft Tree Crane
Heavy equipment competitors can't match — Tree Mek and Mecanil-branded 100-ton crane for trees on roofs, blocked roads, and structures.
Insurance Documentation
Timestamped photo evidence, itemized damage assessments, direct carrier liaison — paperwork your insurer can use without rework.
