Safety is of the utmost importance to Muskogee Tree. However, we believe Residential and Commercial Tree Care, along with other service businesses such as Lawn-Care, Electrician, Plumbing, Roofing, etc. are “Critical Industries” due to the nature of the services provided. Though we have a responsibility to our employees, our customers, and the general public to do our part in curbing the spread of Covid-19, we currently have no plans to cease operations within the City Limits without a direct mandate from the City of Muskogee.

Please keep in mind that with a few minor considerations we have the ability to serve you without ever having to meet in person. For the purposes of maintaining “social distancing,” we are observing the following Industry Suggested Guidelines from the Tree Care Industry Association (TCIA) until such time as this crisis has abated.
