Emergency Tree Service
Emergency Tree Service Overview
Trees on houses, blocked driveways, hazardous limbs after storms — call our 24/7 dispatch line. Most CSRA emergency calls reach the site within 90 minutes.
When a storm drops a tree on your roof or blocks your driveway at 2 a.m., O.A.K. Services dispatches from its Aiken headquarters at 3039 Charleston Hwy — centrally positioned to reach most CSRA locations within 90 minutes. Owner Charles Rice is a 14-year ISA Certified Arborist who runs calls personally, not a subcontractor unfamiliar with the site. O.A.K. has operated out of the same Aiken location since 2005 and holds TCIA Accreditation — a credential held by fewer than 2% of tree companies nationally.
WHAT WE BRING TO EVERY JOB
Emergency removals often involve trees that can’t be safely rigged and lowered by hand — that’s where O.A.K.’s 126-foot, 100-ton Tree Mek crane with Mecanil equipment makes the difference. That machine can lift and extract a full root ball off a structure in a single pick, reducing roof and foundation contact that hand-cutting causes. Every job also carries full Commercial Auto, General Liability, and Worker’s Compensation insurance. Charles Rice — the ISA Certified Arborist and TCIA Accredited company owner — directs the work, not a crew chief with a clipboard.

TREE-SPECIFIC PROJECT WORK
Beyond standard tree removal, OAK takes on the difficult work others pass on: hazard tree assessments, structural cabling, large-diameter takedowns, and crane-required removals near homes and utilities. Every project gets the same Certified Arborist oversight.
SAFETY & ENVIRONMENTAL CARE
O.A.K. holds ISA Tree Risk Assessment Qualified (TRAQ) certification, which means storm-damaged trees get a documented hazard assessment before any cuts are made — not just a visual guess from the ground. Once the tree is down, O.A.K.’s 100% wood waste recycling program handles all debris; nothing goes to a landfill. The company also carries the South Carolina Forestry Association’s Timber Operation Professionals (TOP) certification, covering safe, environmentally responsible timber handling on every removal.

“Very knowledgeable and safety oriented. O.A.K.

Thank You so much for all you did to help us get back to normal. If you need them, call them they are great.”

Frequently Asked Questions
Common Questions About Our Services
How fast can O.A.K. Services reach my property after a storm emergency?
Most emergency calls in the CSRA reach the site within 90 minutes. The 24/7 dispatch line is 1-855-OAK-SERV (625-7378). O.A.K. is headquartered at 3039 Charleston Hwy in Aiken, a central location that keeps response times short across Aiken, North Augusta, Belvedere, and surrounding communities.
What equipment does O.A.K. bring to a storm emergency — can you handle a tree that's landed on my roof?
Yes. O.A.K. operates a 126-foot, 100-ton Tree Mek crane with Mecanil rigging equipment, along with heavy-duty grapple-equipped removal rigs. That combination handles trees on structures, vehicles, and blocked access points where standard climbing and rigging aren’t safe or practical.
After a big storm, how do I know a tree company knocking on my door isn't a scam operation?
Storm-chaser operators are common after major events. O.A.K. has been at the same Aiken address since 2005, holds TCIA Accreditation (top 2% nationally since 2016), carries Commercial Auto, General Liability, and Worker’s Comp insurance, and has 50+ verified Google reviews. Owner Charles Rice is an ISA Certified Arborist — ask any company you consider to show the same credentials before signing anything.
