The blocks bordering the Ole Miss campus, from the Grove out along Rebel Drive and Fraternity Row, carry some of the oldest and largest oaks in Oxford, many planted when the university itself was founded, and preserving that canopy matters to the campus and the neighborhoods around it.
Fraternity and sorority houses, faculty homes, and the athletic facilities near the Coliseum all border mature oak and pine stands that need regular professional attention, both for the safety of heavy foot traffic underneath and to keep the historic tree canopy healthy for the long term.

Historic canopy preservation
Many of the oaks around the Grove and Circle Drive are decades old and central to the look of campus, so our work here leans toward cabling, deadwooding, and disease management rather than removal whenever a tree can be saved safely.
High foot-traffic safety
With thousands of people walking under these trees on gameday and during the school year, we prioritize removing dead limbs before they become a liability, especially in the Grove where tailgating brings heavy crowds directly under old oak canopies.
Scheduling around the academic calendar
We plan larger jobs bordering fraternity and sorority houses around move-in, finals, and home game weekends so equipment and debris don't interfere with students or campus events.
