About Oak City Tree Services

Who We Are

Oak City Tree Services is a locally owned and operated tree care company based in Raleigh, North Carolina. The company was founded by Josh Deleon, an experienced owner-operator who has spent years working in the Triangle's varied terrain — from the mature hardwoods of midtown Raleigh to the fast-growing pine corridors of Apex and Wake County's newer subdivisions.

Josh started Oak City Tree Services because he believed Raleigh deserved better. He'd seen too many jobs done carelessly — crews that left behind a mess, companies that gave vague estimates and then padded the bill, outfits that weren't properly insured and left homeowners exposed to liability. He built this company the right way: with real credentials, transparent pricing, and the kind of work ethic that keeps neighbors calling back year after year.

Today, Oak City Tree Services handles everything from routine seasonal trimming to complex emergency removals after major storms. We serve homeowners, property managers, developers, and HOA communities throughout the greater Triangle area. Whether you have a single problem tree in your backyard or a multi-acre lot that needs clearing before construction, we have the equipment and expertise to do it right.

Our Services

We offer a full range of professional tree care services across Raleigh and the Triangle. Every service comes with free estimates, upfront pricing, and our commitment to leaving your property clean and safe.

Our Approach

Safety First — Always

Every member of the Oak City Tree Services crew is trained in safe tree work practices. We assess every job before we start — identifying power lines, property boundaries, structures that need protection, and escape routes for our team. We never rush a job at the expense of safety, and we carry full liability insurance and workers' compensation coverage so you're never exposed to risk on your own property.

Clean Job Sites

We take pride in leaving your property in better shape than we found it. When we remove a tree, we haul away all debris — logs, limbs, and brush — and blow or rake the area clean. You shouldn't have to clean up after a tree service. That's part of the job.

Clear Communication

You'll always know exactly what we're going to do and what it will cost before we start. Our estimates are free, detailed, and honest. If something changes during the job — if we find decay we didn't expect, or if the scope expands — we'll tell you before we proceed. No surprises on the invoice.

Respect for Your Property

We use proper rigging and lowering techniques to protect your lawn, landscaping, fences, and structures. We understand that your yard is an extension of your home. We lay down ground protection where needed, avoid driving heavy equipment over sprinkler lines, and re-grade any disturbed areas before we leave.

Why Choose Oak City Tree Services

Being locally owned matters. When you call Oak City Tree Services, you're talking to someone who lives in this community, who cares about the reputation of their name, and who will be driving past your house long after the job is done. We don't have call centers or regional managers — just a crew that shows up, does the work right, and treats your property the way we'd want ours treated.
