Bur Oak Tree Service, LLC | Tree Removal, Climbing, Stump Grinding

What we do

Six things, in their own words, and they are the six they actually wrote down.

This list is not a guess and it is not a template. It is the Piqua company's own description, copied line for line, semicolons and all. Professional tree care and removal, expert tree climbing, forestry mowing, lot clearing, bucket truck service, stump grinding. That is the whole list and this page is not adding to it. One warning worth putting right here at the top, because it costs this business money. There is another Bur Oak Tree Service in Carpentersville, Illinois, and they own the exact match domain. Search engines regularly attribute the Illinois company's twenty four hour storm cleanup and crane service to Piqua. Neither of those is on this page, because neither is Piqua's claim. If you need something not on the list, call (937) 980-4020 and ask.

Professional Tree Care and Removal

The first line of their own description, and the job that fills their reviews. What matters most when you call (937) 980-4020 is how tall it is, what is standing underneath it, and how close it sits to the house or the wires. One customer wrote that no one wanted to touch our tree because we live on a very narrow one way street, and that Bur Oak did not hesitate to take it on. If yours is the awkward one everybody else has walked away from, that is worth saying on the phone.

Expert Tree Climbing

Line two, in their words. A climber gets into trees a machine cannot reach, the one behind the garage, the one in the fenced back corner, the one on the narrow street where nothing can park. It is the slower and more skilled half of this trade and it is the half most crews quietly do not offer. They put it second on their own list, which tells you something about how they see themselves. Call (937) 980-4020 and describe the access.

Forestry Mowing

Line three, and it is not a common thing to see advertised by a crew this size. Forestry mowing is the machine that turns overgrown scrub, saplings and brush back into usable ground in a day rather than a season. If you have a back acre, a fence line or a lot that has gone to honeysuckle and thorn, this is the service you are looking for and most of the tree companies in the county do not have the machine. Ask on the phone.

Lot Clearing

Line four. Building on it, farming it, selling it or just tired of looking at it, clearing a lot is a different job from taking down one tree and it gets priced differently. What is worth asking about is what happens to the material, the stumps, and how the ground gets left. Call (937) 980-4020 and say roughly how many acres and what is on it now.

Bucket Truck Service

Line five. A bucket lets a crew work a tree over a driveway or a roof in pieces instead of dropping it whole, and it is the reason a tree tight to a building is a job at all rather than a shrug. One customer noted that all of the needed equipment as well as number of men were all there all day, which is the difference between a one day job and three weekends of chaos. If your tree is close to the house, say so.

Stump Grinding

Line six, the last one on their own list. The stump is the part people forget to ask about until the tree is already down and there is a knee high reminder in the middle of the lawn. Worth doing in the same visit rather than as a second callout. Ask how deep they take it and what gets left behind, because that is a fair question and it deserves a plain answer. (937) 980-4020.

Finished work

Fifty seven five star reviews, an A plus rating, and the Visit Website button on their own listings goes to a page that no longer loads.

Here is the honest situation, and none of it is about the trees. Their business bureau profile, their chamber of commerce listing and their business catalog entry all carry a Visit Website button, and all three of them point at the same old Facebook address. That address was loaded, logged in, and it renders a grey skeleton forever. It never resolves. Their real page is at a completely different address. So the one link on their highest authority listing is dead, and has been for a while. Everything else disagrees with itself too. Google says 5.0 across fifty seven, the chamber says 5.0 across forty four, Facebook says ninety eight percent across forty nine, and the bureau shows exactly one review. Google says they are open eight to five on weekdays. Facebook says always open. Both are live right now. The photos below are the kind of work this is, on a page that actually opens.

How it works

How to get a price on your tree.

Call (937) 980-4020

This is the number on every listing that exists, and it is labeled Mobile on Facebook rather than an office line. There is no website, no booking system and no contact form for this business anywhere, which is most of the reason this page exists. Reviewers repeatedly mention getting a quote the same day they called.

Say how big and how close

Rough height, and what is standing underneath it. A house, a garage, a fence, a power line, or open yard. Mention the access too, whether a truck can get in, whether the street is narrow, whether there is a gate. They took on a tree nobody else would touch on a one way street, so access problems are worth naming rather than hiding.

Get it looked at

Trees get priced where they stand. Lean, rot, dead wood, truck access and where the material goes all matter and none of it can be judged over a phone. Worth knowing, no free estimate claim is published anywhere by this business, so ask straight out whether the look costs anything before anyone drives out. One customer described getting an estimate the same day they called.

Ask about the wait, then book it

This is the thing customers name most. One wrote that Bur Oak were not backed up four to eight weeks like every other company was and came out in one week. Tree work still moves with wind and rain, so ask what the lead time actually looks like now, and ask what happens to the brush, the logs and the stump before the day rather than after.

About us

Their brand is being answered for by a company three hundred miles away in Illinois.

Bur Oak Tree Service, LLC started on 1 October 2019 and works out of 327 State Route 66 in Piqua. The business bureau lists Robert Crump and Paul G. Herman and gives the company an A plus. In the reviews it is almost always Paul who shows up and quotes, Paul and his crew, Paul and the guys, Paul with Bur Oak. The reviews are the strongest thing this business owns. Fifty seven of them on Google at a flat 5.0, which beats every other tree service in Piqua on both rating and volume. A realtor writes that she will be recommending them to all of her customers and clients. Somebody who got six quotes writes that Bur Oak was the cheapest and did great work and were not backed up four to eight weeks like every other company was. Another says besides the tree looking fantastic, you would not even know they were here. A woman asked Paul to run a fresh rope on a fifty foot flagpole with the boom truck and he stopped in on the way back to the shop, and she wrote, thanks to their kindness, Old Glory soars once more. Now here is what is going wrong. The Visit Website button on the bureau profile, the chamber listing and the business catalog all point at an old Facebook address that renders a permanent grey skeleton and never loads. Their real page is somewhere else entirely. Four platforms publish four different review counts and the two most visible ones disagree about the opening hours, Google saying eight to five weekdays and Facebook saying always open. Worse, another Bur Oak Tree Service in Carpentersville, Illinois owns the exact match domain, and search engines routinely blend the two, handing Illinois's twenty four hour storm cleanup and crane service to Piqua and handing Illinois's email address to anyone looking for Piqua's. Meanwhile a national lead matching operator runs a templated Piqua page, one of dozens of identical city subdomains, with an eight five five number, a made up Piqua testimonial and a footer admitting that all persons depicted are actors or models. That page outranks a genuine local crew with fifty seven five star reviews. This page is what owning your own front door looks like.

SundayClosed on Google, always open on Facebook

Being straight with you, both of those are live right now and they cannot both be true. Google Business Profile prints Monday to Friday 8am to 5pm with Saturday and Sunday closed. Facebook prints always open. A scraper site mirrors the Google version, and the business bureau, the chamber listing and the business catalog publish no hours at all, with the catalog even showing an empty Working Hours tab. Rather than pick one and have somebody ring at eight on a Saturday on the strength of it, this shows both. Call (937) 980-4020 for the real answer. Deciding which of those two is correct and writing it in one place, once, would take about a minute and it is the cheapest fix on this whole page.

327 OH-66, Piqua, OH 45356

The business works out of 327 State Route 66 in Piqua, in Miami County, and that address is consistent across Google, the business bureau, the chamber listing and the business catalog, which is more than can be said for most of their other data. No service area is published anywhere though, so which towns they cover is genuinely an open question. One reviewer refers to our area, Piqua, and that is about the extent of it. If you are out toward Troy, Covington, Sidney or Fletcher, ring (937) 980-4020 and ask rather than assume.
