Tree removal is the most dangerous service we offer — and the one where experience matters most. A single mistake near a home, power line, or family member can cost tens of thousands of dollars or worse. At Parma Tree Service, we've safely removed over 4,800 trees across Northeast Ohio since 2003. Our crew is ISA-certified, OSHA-trained, and fully insured because tree removal done right is non-negotiable.
When Tree Removal Is the Right Call
Trees are precious, and we always recommend trying to save a tree before removing it. But sometimes removal is the safest, most responsible choice. We commonly remove trees that are:
- Dead or dying — Severely declined trees can fail without warning, especially in Ohio's high winds and ice storms.
- Structurally compromised — Trees with major cavities, cracks, or codominant stems with included bark are high-risk.
- Diseased beyond recovery — Emerald ash borer, oak wilt, and Dutch elm disease have killed millions of trees in our area.
- Hazardously located — Trees too close to homes, power lines, septic systems, or pools may need to come out before they cause damage.
- Crowding healthier trees — Selective removal can dramatically improve the health of remaining canopy.
- In the way of construction — New additions, driveways, or pools sometimes require removing existing trees.
