"I was very impressed at the skill of the workers, they had a tough job removing 9 large trees that were all along a driveway sandwiched between my house and my neighbors house, they barely had enough room to work but they pulled it off flawlessly. they lifted the trees over my house with the crane after cutting them it was something to watch, very professional."

"This was, by far, one of the best experiences. They were very professional; kept me updated on time, etc,BUT what sets the apart from all others is tge job they did. Just incredible. I had just moved in to a rental, but I wanted the house to look clean and well taken care of. There were some weeds taller than the windows. There was Poison Ivy and all those weeds were choking out any good plants. They cleaned it all out, cut trees, removed bushes, trimmed bushes, raked the flower beds and hauled it all away. 7 hrs of work! I cannot say enough great things about this company. There are a few more bushes I'd like taken out, but need to get the landlords permission first. If that happens, i will definitely contact Set Apart Tree."

"Louis responded promptly to my message to have a tree trimmed and a large lilac bush removed. He gave me a quote for half of what another company quoted .He came the following week as promised and did an excellent job. He cleaned up the yard and hauled everything away.I would definitely hire him again and highly recommend him"

"Excellent job completed as promised, priced competetively, not the lowest but willing to do all that I needed including moving the wood to a nearby location. It was a big job and they handled it efficiently. I have already asked Marlon about another smaller job for me and will keep him as my "Go to" guy for tree work."

"Travis and his team are amazing! We had a lot of trees cut down and stumps ground out. I wouldn't hire anyone else to do trees! He is honest and will let you know exactly what needs to be done. They cleaned everything up, which if you ever have big trees cut down is a big deal. I will recommend Kustom Trim Tree Service to anyone that need any tree service. Don't hesitate to call him you won't be sorry!"

"They did an excellent job installing a brick patio and planter for a very reasonable price. They came when they said they would and did the job in in a very short time frame because they have the proper equipment and sufficient skilled workers who work together efficiently and in harmony to produce a beautiful result. The owner Jason is a very nice person, easy to work with, planning for the project and producing the expected final result."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

In Akron, frequent mistakes include attempting DIY tree removal, hiring unlicensed or uninsured contractors, and neglecting to obtain required permits from the City of Akron. Over-pruning or topping trees can lead to long-term health issues, especially for species susceptible to local diseases. Homeowners should also avoid scheduling tree trimming during peak pest seasons and always verify the arborist's credentials with the Ohio Department of Natural Resources.

Helpful?

For tree service in Akron, professional crews should follow OSHA safety standards and use proper protective equipment. Homeowners should keep children and pets indoors and stay clear of the work zone. If trees are near power lines, only qualified arborists approved by the City of Akron or local utilities should perform the work. Always confirm your contractor carries liability insurance to protect against accidents or property damage.

Helpful?

In Akron, the City of Akron Public Works Department requires a permit for removing trees over six inches in diameter or those near public rights-of-way. Special approval may be needed for heritage or protected species. It's recommended to consult the City of Akron's Urban Forestry Division or the Ohio Department of Natural Resources for guidance and to ensure all local permit requirements are met before starting tree removal or trimming.

Helpful?

In Akron, homeowners may encounter extra charges for permit applications, stump grinding, or large debris removal, which are often not included in basic tree removal quotes. If the work is near power lines, coordination with Akron's utility companies may result in additional fees. Emergency tree service after storms can also incur surcharges, so it's wise to clarify all potential costs with your arborist and confirm what's included in your contract.

Helpful?

When hiring for tree service in Akron, always verify the company's insurance and certifications, such as those recognized by the Ohio Department of Natural Resources. Ask for local references and ensure the arborist is familiar with Akron's common tree diseases, like oak wilt. Request detailed, written estimates that specify whether stump grinding and debris cleanup are included, and confirm the contractor complies with City of Akron regulations.
