Tree service in Edmond, OK

Edmond sits on Kirkland and Renfrow clay soils that have very high plasticity, meaning they absorb almost no water and shed runoff across the surface. When a yard is not graded with enough slope to move that water away from the home, it pools and stays. Proper grading and resloping is the most direct fix for this condition.

Yes. The clay in that part of Edmond shrinks and cracks in summer heat, then swells when moisture returns. Those cycles shift the soil surface over time and can reverse a grade that was correct when it was set. We account for that seasonal movement when establishing the finished slope so the grade stays effective through the full weather cycle.

Yes. Sloped lots in Edmond are prone to erosion during heavy spring storms because the clay surface sheds water fast and the runoff gains speed on any grade. We provide erosion control construction that stabilizes the slope and directs water into controlled paths rather than letting it cut channels through the yard.

Yes. Clearing and grubbing removes existing vegetation, stumps, and root systems, and we then grade the site to the slope needed for construction. Edmond's northern growth areas often have raw lots with uneven native terrain that needs significant grading before a foundation crew can begin.
