Louisville After the 2019 Tornado

Tree Removal in Louisville got a lot of attention on March 14, 2019. That day the National Weather Service confirmed an EF-0 tornado northeast of Louisville, with estimated winds of 83 mph along a path about 1.6 miles long and 100 yards wide. Its survey described considerable tree damage, with uprooted trees and snapped limbs along Easton Street NE and Pilot Knob Avenue NE. Storms like that are not common, but they are a reminder that the trees most likely to fail are the ones already weakened by decay, poor structure or root damage.

Spotting a tree that won't make the next storm

Walk around your trees once a year. Look for fresh cracks in the trunk, mushrooms or soft wood at the base, dead branches larger than your wrist over the house or driveway, and soil that has heaved up on one side. A tree that has started to lean more after heavy rain is a red flag. If you see any of these, call (330) 433-8160. We will tell you whether the tree should come down, whether pruning can buy time, or whether it is fine.

A town of long-time owners

Census QuickFacts shows a 65.8% owner-occupied rate in Louisville and 91.2% of residents in the same house as a year earlier, one of the higher figures in the county. People here tend to plan tree work rather than react to it. We are glad to price several trees at once and let you decide what to do now and what to leave for a later season.

The East Branch and low ground

The East Branch of Nimishillen Creek flows through Louisville. Trees along the creek and in low back yards grow on soil that stays wet in spring, which can mean weak anchoring and more blow-downs. Willows and box elders do well in those spots and grow fast, but they are brittle and drop limbs. Those are frequent removal requests, and stump grinding afterward lets you reclaim the ground.

Power lines

The Canton Repository has listed Louisville among the areas served by AEP Ohio during wind outages. Do not try to cut a tree that is touching a service wire. Call AEP first; once the line is safe or de-energized, we can take it from there.

Replanting after a removal

Many Louisville owners want shade back once a problem tree is gone. Plant the replacement well away from the old stump so it is not fighting decaying roots, give large species at least 15 to 20 feet from the house, and keep anything tall out from under the service wire.

Louisville Questions

What is the difference between an uprooted tree and a snapped one?

An uprooted tree lifts its root plate out of the ground, usually because the soil was wet or the roots were damaged. A snapped tree breaks at the trunk, often at a decayed or cracked spot. Both are cut differently, and uprooted trees hold tension that makes the cuts near the base tricky.

Can you take down a tree that is leaning toward my house?

Yes. Leaning trees are usually rigged and taken apart from the top down so nothing lands on the house. We look at the lean, the roots and the space around it before we price it.

Should I remove a box elder by the creek?

Box elders grow fast and are weak-wooded, so they often split. If one is over a shed, fence or play area, removal is usually sensible. In an open spot well away from anything, it may be fine to leave.

Do you serve the rural roads around Louisville?

Yes, including the parts of Nimishillen Township around the city. Larger rural lots sometimes combine a removal with clearing a fence line or brushy edge.
