Pruning for storm-exposed Streetsboro properties
Streetsboro's exposed corridor properties take wind from every direction, and the trees that get pruned before storm season hold up better than the ones that do not. We do crown reduction to remove end weight, structural pruning on younger trees, and clearance work near homes and outbuildings. We do not top trees — it weakens them and creates the failures we are trying to prevent.
“In Streetsboro the pruned tree survives the storm. The unpruned one is the call I am taking at 6 AM Monday.”

Pruning Streetsboro's young trees into strong ones.
A lot of Streetsboro's trees are at the age where the right pruning prevents most of the problems that lead to cabling and removal later.
Fixing builder trees early
Many young Streetsboro trees have structure problems that started at the nursery or at planting: two competing leaders, branches crowded at one point on the trunk or a weak, narrow fork. On a ten- to twenty-year-old tree, those are fixable with a few small cuts. Reduce one competing leader so the other becomes the trunk. Remove a few crowded branches so the scaffold spreads out.
Wait until the tree is forty years old and the same problem requires bigger cuts, a cable or removal. Structural pruning every few years during a tree's first couple of decades is one of the most cost-effective things you can do for it.
Clearance, storms and timing
On mature trees, Streetsboro pruning is mostly clearance and storm preparation: lifting limbs over driveways and walks, keeping branches off the roof and reducing heavy limbs on older maples. Selective thinning can reduce wind load on dense crowns on exposed lots, as long as it's done modestly.
Leave oak pruning for late fall and winter. Oak wilt, which is in Ohio, gets in through fresh wounds during spring and early summer. Most other species can be pruned any time. If you have pears, pruning can buy time but won't fix their basic structure, and we'll be honest about that.

Common questions
Trimming & Pruning FAQs for Streetsboro
Have a question not answered here? Call (330) 221-1617.
When should young trees first be pruned?
A couple of years after planting, then every few years through their first decade or two. Small corrective cuts early prevent big problems later.
Can pruning save my Bradford pear?
It can reduce some risk for a while, but it can't fix the pear's weak structure. Replacement is usually the better long-term choice.
Will thinning help my tree in storms?
Modest, selective thinning can reduce wind load on a dense crown. Heavy thinning does more harm than good.
