Village Streets, Then Open Country

Tree Removal in Hartville changes character within a mile. The village itself is small, about 3,329 people in 2020 on roughly two and a half square miles where State Routes 43 and 619 cross, and its older streets have the close setbacks of a 19th-century village. Step outside the village limits into Lake Township and the lots open up into rural acreage with fence rows, windbreaks and woodlots. We handle both, and the approach is different for each.

In the village

On a village lot the question is usually how to get a big tree down without touching the house next door, the garage or the overhead service wire. That means climbing or using a lift, cutting the crown into manageable pieces and lowering them on ropes. Wood is carried to the street and loaded there. Settlement here goes back to 1818, when John Morehart founded the community, and the village was first platted in 1851. Some of the yard trees around the oldest homes are of a size you rarely see in newer subdivisions.

On bigger country lots

Out in the township, the work is more about volume: several dead ash along a fence line, a windbreak of spruce that has thinned out, a storm-split oak at the edge of a field. Felling is often possible where there is open ground, which can keep costs down. We will tell you which trees can be dropped whole and which need to be taken apart.

Beech, ash and other problems in local woods

Ohio State University Extension reports that beech leaf disease has spread through northeast Ohio since its 2012 discovery in Lake County, and beech is common in the wooded parcels around here. Ash killed by emerald ash borer are also still standing in many woodlots and fence rows. Dead trees in the woods may be fine to leave for wildlife, but within falling distance of a house, barn, drive or road they should come down. Quail Hollow Park, the 703-acre former Stewart estate that Stark Parks has managed since 2016, shows what the mixed forest of this part of the county looks like.

What you can do with the wood

Hartville residents can use the Lake Township yard waste facility for branches, but it does not take logs or stumps and is closed to contractors. So we plan the wood before we cut: hauled off, cut and stacked as firewood, or chipped. On rural lots, some owners like to keep brush piles for wildlife, and that is fine too.

Hartville Questions

Is it cheaper to remove trees on a big rural lot?

Per tree, it can be, because open ground often lets us fell trees whole instead of taking them apart. Hauling the wood off a rural property can add cost, so some owners choose to keep the logs.

Can you clear dead ash along my fence line?

Yes. Dead ash become brittle, so we work from a lift or from the ground where possible. We can chip the brush and leave the logs in rounds, or remove everything.

Do I need permission to cut trees near the road?

Trees in the road right-of-way may belong to the road authority, which could be the village, township, county or state depending on the road. Ask them first if a tree is close to the pavement; we can help you figure out which applies.

Do you work in Hartville village and the rest of Lake Township?

Yes, both. That includes Uniontown and the rural roads between.

How do I know if a woodlot tree is close enough to be a problem?

A rough rule is to compare the tree's height with its distance to the house, barn, drive or road. If it could reach something you care about when it falls, it is worth looking at.
