Fallen Tree Removal — Emergency Response
Overview
Are you scared of trees falling? We have all seen fallen trees on the news, and they cause real damage. OAK Services responds 24/7 to fallen trees on homes, blocked roads, and hazardous limbs.
When a storm drops a tree on your roof or blocks your driveway in Aiken, SC, O.A.K. Services responds 24/7. Owner Charles Rice is an ISA Certified Arborist with 26 years in the Green Industry, and O.A.K. has operated out of the same Aiken headquarters since 2005. That means a credentialed, locally-rooted crew arrives — not a storm-chaser passing through town.
OUR APPROACH
O.A.K. runs a 126-foot, 100-ton tree crane (Tree Mek and Mecanil equipment) specifically for fallen-tree situations where weight and reach make hand-cutting dangerous or impossible. Before any cutting starts, Charles Rice performs a site assessment under his ISA Tree Risk Assessment Qualified (TRAQ) credential. That step determines the safest removal sequence and protects your structure from secondary damage during extraction.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common Questions About Our Services
How quickly can OAK Services reach me after a tree falls on my house?
OAK Services operates 24/7 emergency response year-round. The company has been based in Aiken at the same location since 2005, which puts it centrally positioned across the CSRA to reach Aiken, North Augusta, Graniteville, and surrounding areas. Call the emergency line at 1-855-OAK-SERV (625-7378) any time — day or night.
How do I know a storm-response tree company is legitimate and not a storm chaser?
After major storms, unlicensed operators often canvass neighborhoods. OAK Services has operated from the same Aiken headquarters since 2005, carries Commercial Auto, General Liability, and Worker’s Comp insurance, holds BBB A+ accreditation, and is TCIA Accredited — a designation held by the top 2% of tree companies nationally. Owner Charles Rice is an ISA Certified Arborist with 26 years in the industry.
