Tree Cutting in University, 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 Ole Miss Grove, Whirlpool plant, Highway 6 East industrial park, where water oak, pin oak, willow oak 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.
Campus-adjacent property challenges
Rental houses near campus get heavy foot and car traffic, so we schedule drops and chip-outs around class change times and football Saturdays when All American Drive backs up for miles. Faculty neighborhoods tend to have older, well-established oaks that owners want pruned for shape rather than removed outright.
