Tree removal across Ravenna's older neighborhoods
Most Ravenna removal calls involve more than one tree — usually a dead ash, sometimes a declining elm, often a stump from a previous removal that never got finished. We schedule efficiently in Ravenna and price multi-tree work fairly. We walk the property first and quote everything that needs to come out, so the homeowner is not paying for repeat trips.
“In Ravenna I rarely show up for one tree. There is usually more to do, and it is cheaper to handle it together.”

Ravenna removals: dead ash, declining elms and old yard trees.
Ravenna's removal work is shaped by its losses: ash killed by emerald ash borer, elms affected by Dutch elm disease and old trees that have reached the end on tight historic lots.
Ash and elm removals
Emerald ash borer hit Ravenna's ash hard, and dead ash still stand in yards, alleys and tree lines across the area. Dead ash dry out and get brittle within a few years, which makes them unpredictable to climb and more likely to drop limbs. The ones near houses, garages and driveways should come out first.
Elms are a different story. A large American elm with Dutch elm disease will decline, often quickly, and infected elms should be removed promptly so the beetles that spread the disease don't breed in the wood. Elm wood shouldn't be stored as firewood with the bark on for that reason. We'll tell you whether an elm can be treated or should come out.
Close quarters downtown, open ground outside
On the older streets near downtown, removals often mean a big tree between houses on a narrow lot. Those come down in sections, lowered by rope, with the house, garage and neighbor's property protected. We plan the rigging and the truck access before the job is scheduled.
On township lots with open ground, felling is often possible, which is faster and usually less expensive. In either case, trees on city property, including street trees, are the city's to decide on. If a tree you're concerned about is in the right-of-way, we'll let you know so you can contact the city first.

Common questions
Tree Removal FAQs for Ravenna
Have a question not answered here? Call (330) 221-1617.
Can I keep firewood from a diseased elm?
It's best not to store elm wood with the bark on, since it can harbor the beetles that spread Dutch elm disease. We can haul it away or split and debark it if you want to keep some.
How urgent is a dead ash in my Ravenna yard?
More urgent each year it stands. Dead ash becomes brittle and drops limbs without warning. Trees near structures and driveways should come first.
Can you remove a street tree in front of my house?
Not without the city's approval. Trees on public property in Ravenna are the city's, so contact the city first.
