Tree planting on Tallmadge lots
Tallmadge planting calls usually follow a silver maple removal, and the priority is picking a species that does not repeat the same problem in fifty years. We suggest species with stronger wood, better long-term structural form, and mature sizes appropriate to the post-war grid lot scale. Planting is done to ISA standards — root flare exposed, no buried collars, follow-up establishment care recommended.
“In Tallmadge if I just removed a silver maple, the last thing I want to do is plant another one. The replacement should outlast what came out.”

Replacing Tallmadge's maples with trees that last.
Tallmadge's next canopy is being planted now. Choosing longer-lived species and planting them well keeps the streets shaded for the next seventy years.
Longer-lived choices
In place of silver maple, choose species that grow well in our clay and live much longer. Swamp white oak, white oak and bur oak are long-lived and sturdy. Blackgum, Kentucky coffeetree, hackberry and American linden are good shade trees too. For smaller spaces or under lines, serviceberry, redbud and Japanese tree lilac stay a manageable size.
Avoid planting another silver maple, Callery pear or Norway maple, and skip ash while emerald ash borer is still around. Mixing species on your lot and your street protects the canopy from losing everything to a single pest or disease.
Tree lawn rules and planting right
If you'd like a tree in the tree lawn, Tallmadge's street tree program applies: the tree lawn must be at least seven feet wide, and the city's Service Director specifies the species, size and location for public-way plantings. Check with the city first.
On your own property, we plan placement for the tree's full size, away from the house, wires and the old maple's stump. The tree is set high rather than deep, its roots straightened, and mulched in a wide, shallow circle, and we leave a watering calendar for the first two years. Light structural pruning in the first decade builds strong structure.

Common questions
Tree & Shrub Planting FAQs for Tallmadge
Have a question not answered here? Call (330) 221-1617.
What should replace my silver maple?
A longer-lived species like swamp white oak, white oak, blackgum or Kentucky coffeetree, planted with room to grow.
Can I plant a tree in a narrow tree lawn?
Not if it's narrower than seven feet. Tallmadge doesn't allow new trees in tree lawns under that width.
Should I plant before or after my old maple comes out?
Before, if you can. Planting a few years ahead gives the new tree a head start on shade.
