Thomason Lawn Care handles tree removal, trimming, stump grinding, and ongoing maintenance across the Oklahoma City metro area, operating as a locally rooted outfit that handles both residential and light commercial properties.
The company specializes in tree removal for dead, diseased, or hazardous trees, crown cleaning and thinning, stump grinding below ground level, and regular pruning. They also manage storm cleanup and haul away debris. The business works year-round in the OKC area, where the growing season and weather swings (ice storms, high winds) create steady demand for both preventive work and emergency response.
Thomason quotes jobs on-site after assessing the tree size, proximity to structures, accessibility, and complexity. Removal costs for a typical residential tree in the 30- to 50-foot range usually fall between $500 and $1,500; larger or difficult trees can exceed that. Stump grinding runs roughly $75 to $150 per stump depending on diameter and depth. Trimming and crown work is priced per tree or as an hourly rate, typically $85 to $120 per hour for crew labor. Debris removal and chipping are sometimes included in the removal quote or charged separately at around $50 to $100 per truckload. Confirm current pricing when you call; labor rates and material costs shift seasonally and with fuel prices.
OKC has several established competitors. Arbor Pro Tree Service handles removals and maintains a strong reputation for climbing work on tight residential lots; they tend to run 10 to 15 percent higher on routine jobs but excel at complex canopy work in confined spaces. Turney Tree Service operates on the south side and offers similar removal and stump-grinding services at comparable rates. The key difference with Thomason is responsiveness and crew availability during heavy seasons (spring storms, fall cleanup); they typically schedule faster than larger regional outfits. If you need work done within two weeks or require same-day emergency cleanup, Thomason's local footprint often wins. If you want a tree health assessment or specialized pruning for rare species, Arbor Pro's certified arborists are the better fit.
Thomason works well for homeowners needing routine removals, storm cleanup, and stump work without elaborate design or consultation. They are a practical choice for rental properties and commercial landscapes where cost and speed matter more than aesthetics. They are less suitable if you need a certified arborist's report for a heritage tree, pest management integrated with pruning, or high-end landscape coordination. For a simple takedown and cleanup, they deliver straightforward service; for complex arboricultural decisions, seek a certified crew.
Call or text with photos and a description of the tree or job. A crew member will schedule a site visit, usually within two to five business days depending on season. During the walk-through, they measure, assess hazards and obstacles, and provide a verbal or written estimate. No deposit is required to schedule; payment is due upon completion, typically by cash, check, or card. Stumps are ground the same day as removal or scheduled separately based on crew availability.
Thomason operates Monday through Saturday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., year-round. They serve Oklahoma City and surrounding suburbs within a 15-mile radius. Work is scheduled by appointment. They handle parking and work-site setup themselves; no homeowner preparation is needed beyond pointing out the tree and noting any utilities. Winter weather (ice, snow) can cause delays; spring and early summer see the longest booking queues.
Thomason Lawn Care fills the gap between fly-by removal crews and certified arborists, offering reliable execution for the majority of OKC homeowners who need a tree down, a stump gone, and no surprises on the invoice.
