About Oak City Tree Services
Raleigh's locally owned tree service — built on honesty, expertise, and a genuine love for the Triangle's trees.
Our Story
Oak City Tree Services was founded by Josh Deleon with a simple mission: bring professional-grade tree care to Raleigh homeowners at honest prices, with the kind of service you would expect from a neighbor. Growing up in the Triangle, Josh developed a deep appreciation for North Carolina's incredible tree canopy — the ancient oaks in Cameron Park, the towering longleaf pines along the Neuse River greenway, the flowering dogwoods that make Raleigh springs unforgettable.
After years working in the tree care industry, Josh founded Oak City to do things the right way: proper ISA-standard techniques, full licensing and insurance, transparent pricing, and complete cleanup on every job. No shortcuts, no surprises.
Since opening, Oak City has served hundreds of Triangle homeowners, HOAs, and businesses. Our 5.0-star rating across 17+ verified reviews reflects our commitment to quality work and honest communication on every single job.
"I started Oak City because I was tired of seeing homeowners get overcharged or underserved by tree companies that treat every job like a number on a spreadsheet. Every tree is different. Every yard is different. Every homeowner deserves a company that actually cares about getting it right."
Our Values
Safety First
Every job begins with a safety assessment. No work proceeds until every crew member understands the plan and the hazards. Safety is not negotiable.
Honest Pricing
We quote what the job costs, and that is what you pay. No hidden fees, no scope creep, no bait-and-switch. Written quotes on every project.
Clean Worksites
We leave your property cleaner than we found it. All debris is chipped or hauled, every piece of wood accounted for, all sawdust blown or raked.
Local Expertise
We know Triangle trees. Loblolly pine, willow oak, sweetgum, crepe myrtle — we understand their biology, their failure modes, and how to work with them safely.
Our Service Area
We serve Raleigh and all of the Triangle metro area, including:
