An arborist is a specialist in the care of trees — knowledgeable about their needs and trained and equipped to provide proper care. Well-cared-for trees are attractive and add considerable value to your property; poorly maintained trees can be a significant liability. Because pruning and removing large trees is dangerous work, it should be done only by trained professionals.
A Family-Owned Company You Can Count On
Because we're family-owned, we offer personal, individual service tailored to the specific needs of our clients. The overwhelming majority of our clientele — both residential and commercial — are repeat customers who have done business with us many times over the years. Mid Ohio Tree Service was founded in 1987, and while dozens of "tree companies" go out of business every year, we've continued to refine our company to better serve our customers. We take pride in our efficiency, our premium service, and our dedication to leaving every customer satisfied.
Tree Pruning
An arborist can determine the type of pruning necessary to maintain or improve the health, appearance, and safety of your trees, including:
- Eliminating branches that rub each other
- Removing limbs that interfere with wires, building facades, gutters, roofs, chimneys, windows, streets, or sidewalks
- Removing dead or weak limbs that pose a hazard or may lead to decay
- Removing diseased or insect-infested limbs
- Creating better structure to lessen wind resistance and reduce storm damage
- Removing limbs damaged by adverse weather
- Thinning unnecessary branches and improving the tree's shape and silhouette
Tree Removal
Although removal is a last resort, an arborist can help determine whether a tree should be removed — and has the skills and equipment to do it safely and efficiently. Removal is recommended when:
- The tree is dead or dying
- The tree is considered irreparably hazardous
- It causes an obstruction impossible to correct through pruning
- It is crowding and harming other trees
- It is to be replaced by a more suitable specimen
- It must be removed to allow for new construction
Emergency Tree Care
Storms may cause limbs or entire trees to fail, often landing on homes, cars, or other structures. Storm-damaged trees are heavy and dangerous to remove or trim — an arborist can perform the job safely while reducing further risk of damage to your property. We also provide cabling and bracing systems, corrective and aesthetic pruning, view enhancement, nutrient treatments, insect control, fertilization, difficult tree removals, and 24-hour emergency storm service.
