O.A.K. Services provides soil and tree nutrition assessments, deep-root feeding, and supplementation programs for stressed and high-value trees across Aiken, SC and the surrounding CSRA. Every nutrient program starts with an evaluation by owner Charles Rice, a 14-year ISA Certified Arborist with 26 years in the Green Industry — the same credentialed professional who diagnoses the problem, not a technician working from a script.

WHAT WE BRING TO EVERY JOB

O.A.K. Services has been operating from the same Aiken headquarters at 3039 Charleston Hwy since 2005 — 21 years serving the same community. As a TCIA Accredited company since 2016, O.A.K. ranks in the top 2% of tree care companies nationally, a standard that applies directly to how nutrient and health-care work is planned, documented, and executed. Owner Charles Rice holds ISA Certification and Tree Risk Assessment Qualification (TRAQ), credentials that back every soil and supplementation recommendation we make.

DIAGNOSTIC APPROACH

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.

TREATMENT & MONITORING

After initial soil and tissue assessment, O.A.K. delivers deep-root feeding and targeted supplementation based on what the data shows — not a one-size approach. Monitoring intervals are scheduled to track tree response over time. Charles Rice’s Oak Wilt disease expertise also means nutrient programs account for disease-related stress that can easily be misread as simple deficiency, which matters for accurate treatment in the Aiken, SC region.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common Questions About Our Services

What does a tree nutrient assessment from O.A.K. Services actually involve?

Charles Rice, O.A.K.’s ISA Certified Arborist, evaluates both the soil and the tree itself to identify deficiencies or stress factors. The assessment drives any supplementation program — so you’re not guessing at what the tree needs. This is owner-led work, not delegated to a crew member without credentials.

Deep-root feeding is most beneficial for high-value specimen trees and trees already showing signs of stress — thin canopies, discolored leaves, or slow growth. Trees in compacted urban soils or those recovering from construction disturbance are common candidates. O.A.K. serves Aiken, North Augusta, Graniteville, and surrounding CSRA communities.

Lawn fertilization targets turf, not trees, and can actually stress trees if applied incorrectly. O.A.K.’s tree health care nutrition programs are designed around individual tree species, soil conditions, and root-zone delivery — assessed by an ISA Certified Arborist with 26 years in the green industry, not a general landscaping crew.
