Tree Cutting in Oxford, MS is handled by licensed and insured crews from Oxford Tree Removal, powered by Garrison McKinney Tree Service. General-purpose tree cutting for yard trees, fence lines, and firewood-size jobs.
We regularly work near The Square, Bailey Woods Trail, Avent Park, where water oak, southern red oak, loblolly pine are common. Not every job needs a full removal quote with rigging and a bucket truck. Sometimes you've just got a scrub tree crowding a fence line, a couple of pines you want dropped for firewood, or a leaner in the back forty that's not near anything. That's tree cutting: straightforward felling and bucking without the complexity of a tight structural removal.

Where tree cutting fits
Good candidates are trees with clear drop zones: pasture edges, rural lots outside Oxford proper, back corners of a yard away from the house, or fence lines out toward Highway 6 and Highway 7 where sweetgum and cedar volunteer growth crowds the wire.
Felling technique
We cut a directional notch and back cut so the tree lands where we want it, then buck the trunk into rounds on request. If you're keeping the wood for firewood, we'll cut to your preferred length before we leave.
When cutting turns into removal
If we get on-site and the lean or the target zone changes the picture, say a tree we thought was clear of the fence actually has a limb over it, we tell you before we proceed and adjust the price if it now needs rigging instead of a straight fell.
Property types we see most
In-town lots around the Square and along South Lamar are tight, with mature oaks planted decades ago right up against porches and power lines. Newer subdivisions off Old Taylor Road and near Highway 6 have younger pines and Bradford pears that split easily in ice. Student rental duplexes near campus often have overgrown trees nobody has pruned in years because landlords defer maintenance until a limb comes down.
