"The estimate was a good discussion. He's an Arborist which was really helpful. The work was fast and the next day. The workers friendly and responsive to a request I made. They cleaned up the yard well. Looking forward to the stump-grinding which is scheduled. Thank you very much!"

"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."

"Robert came out gave fair estimate and showed up on scheduled time. Work was completed in a timely manner cutting down three 40’ aspen or birch trees between two houses and trimmed a 50’maple of house voltage lines along with other smaller maple. Robert and crew worked until job was done they were a pleasure to watch Will hire again as needed.."

"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."

Arborists FAQs, answered by experts

Be cautious of unusually low quotes, cash-only requests, or missing written estimates when comparing Cleveland tree service pros. Lack of insurance, vague answers about cleanup or permits, and no local references are warning signs. If a company seems unfamiliar with common issues like Emerald Ash Borer or rushes your decision, consider other options for your tree trimming or removal needs.

Helpful?

When hiring in Cleveland, prioritize tree service pros familiar with local tree species and threats like Emerald Ash Borer. Ensure they carry proper insurance, employ certified arborists, and understand city ordinances. Experience with tight city lots, utility line clearance, and safe tree trimming is crucial. Ask about their approach to handling diseased wood and maintaining neighborhood safety during projects.

Helpful?

In Cleveland, frequent lake-effect storms, heavy rainfall, and fluctuating temperatures can delay tree trimming or removal and make access challenging for equipment. Winter’s dormancy is ideal for pruning to reduce disease risk, while fall removals help prevent snow damage. Sudden thaws or saturated soil may cause unexpected branch failures, so scheduling around local weather patterns helps minimize project interruptions.

Helpful?

Before starting tree service in Cleveland, confirm if permits are needed for large removals and always mark underground utilities before digging. Double-check property boundaries and clear pathways for equipment. Schedule work during dry periods to prevent soil damage, and avoid pruning oaks in spring to reduce disease risk. Request detailed, written estimates and verify insurance coverage before signing any contract.

Helpful?

In Cleveland, unexpected costs can arise from required permits, coordinating with utility companies, or managing street access for large equipment. Clay-heavy soil may complicate stump grinding, and storm-damaged or diseased trees often need special disposal. Protecting historic landscaping or working in narrow lots can increase labor time, so clarify all potential charges with your tree removal or arborist service provider upfront.
