Tree Service in Green, OH

Tree Service in Green covers a lot of ground. At about 33.5 square miles, Green is one of the largest cities by area in Summit County, with 27,475 residents in 2020. It was Green Township until voters approved merging the village with the township in 1991, and it became a city in 1992. So it has a city government with a township's geography: subdivisions, older farmhouses, wooded lots, lakes and wetlands all mixed together.

Wet ground is part of the picture

About 1.5 square miles of Green is water, and the city includes the Singer Lake Bog nature preserve. Wetlands were a big enough issue that they were part of the city's long fight over the NEXUS gas pipeline, which ended in a $7.5 million settlement before construction began in 2018. For tree work, wet ground means two things. Shallow-rooted trees on soggy soil are more likely to tip in wind. And heavy equipment can sink and leave ruts, so we pick our access route carefully and use mats or smaller machines where needed.

Newer neighborhoods, young trees

Green grew quickly in recent decades. Many subdivisions were built with a few small trees per lot, or cut from woods with a buffer of older trees left at the back. Both create work. Young trees benefit from structural pruning early, which sets up a single strong leader and well-spaced limbs and saves expensive corrective work later. Older edge trees left behind after construction often decline from root damage a decade or so later. If a tree at the back of your lot is thinning at the top, construction damage is a likely cause.

What Green homeowners call about

• Structural pruning of young shade trees in newer subdivisions
• Removing declining edge trees left after development
• Taking down dead ash along lot lines and in woodlots
• Clearing trees for patios, pools and additions
• Grinding stumps and roots for new landscaping

Wind at the airport

Akron-Canton Regional Airport sits partly in Green. In the August 2023 storm, the airport recorded peak sustained winds of 49 mph, and an 80 mph gust was measured near Kent. Open fields and large lots around the airport give wind a long run, so trees on exposed edges deserve a check before summer storm season.

Parks

Boettler Park, 26 acres donated to the city for public use, offers trails and fishing. Homes near parkland and preserves often share tree lines with public land; we only work on trees on your property and will confirm the line if it's unclear.
