Professional Tree Trimming Services
Whatever your trees need, we can handle. With our experience, equipment, and skill, we’re dedicated to preserving and improving the vitality of your trees in Cincinnati and surrounding areas. We offer a wide range of tree care services to accomplish this, all of which are listed below.
Tree Trimming & Pruning
Trimming and pruning are important parts of a preventative maintenance program for your trees and should be done by a certified arborist. Improper pruning can both shorten the trees life and make it a hazard to you and your neighbors. Dave & Aaron Stang's Certified Tree Care has both certified arborists and years of experience to trim your trees properly to meet your goals of increasing the tree's health, maintaining safety and making the tree aesthetically pleasing. If you have tree trimming needs in Cincinnati or the surrounding areas, do not hesitate to reach out to us.
Our pruning practices are based on the standards that are outlined by the International Society of Arboriculture (ISA) that is in accordance with the American National Standards Institute (ANSI A300). ISA provides guidelines to us to properly prune trees so that we are able to reach a customer's objective while still protecting or improving the health of your tree. These objectives may be tree trimming for clearance of houses, walkways, vehicles and views, removing dead or dying limbs and branches, thinning to increase sunlight, selectivity removing limbs to prevent limb or tree failure, and crown reduction. While Dave & Aaron Stang's Certified Tree Care provides services to reach these goals we do not engage in the practice of topping trees.
Tree & Stump Removal
As tree care professionals we believe in saving trees! Removals are recommended only if it poses a risk to the safety of people, property or other trees and cannot be saved or made safe.
Some examples for tree removal include roots doing damage to structures like driveways, patios and walkways, a dangerously-leaning tree, a species too large for its area, or a tree that is completely dead. If we have to remove a tree, we do so with extreme care with the option of removing the stump. Lawn restoration where the tree's stump was is offered by request with an additional cost.
Emerald Ash Borer
These beetles are responsible for the death of millions of Ash trees. Adult emerald Ash borer lay eggs on the bark of Ash trees. Once the larvae hatch, they borer into the bark and feed on tissues responsible for distributing nutrients and water throughout the tree resulting in the death of the tree.
We offer effective prevention options to deter the emerald ash borers, and if your trees are already affected, our tree care experts will provide recommendations on how to handle the infestation.
Vertical Mulching
Soil compaction or soils that are heavy in clay lack pore space and reduces a tree's access to water and space for root growth which can put a trees health at risk. In regions with heavy clay soil, like here in Cincinnati, vertical mulching helps to alleviate tree stress by improving the soil in the root zone that has been compacted by foot traffic, heavy vehicles or construction. Vertical mulching is a process used to reduce soil compaction, add organic material to the soil, help water penetration and promotes growth of feeder roots. This method involves drilling holes inside the critical root zone of the tree and filling the holes with organic material. If an increase of growth is an objective, a slow release fertilizer may be added.
Tree Fertilization
When trees are deficient in essential nutrients it can adversely affect their health making them more susceptible to insects and disease. The absence of certain nutrients can also reduce growth and cause yellowing (chlorosis) of the leaves. The application of fertilizer can replenish deficient nutrient levels boosting your tree's health and resilience.
Cabling
Some trees because of their species or defects need more than just pruning alone to make them safe. A common structural defect called included bark is found in trees with two or more stems growing at a very narrow angle at their union. As the stems grow in length, they also grow in diameter compromising the structural integrity of where they attach to the trunk resulting in branch failure. Ornamental Pears are an example of a tree that has very weak wood making them prone to breaking and splitting. The installation of extra-high-strength (EHS) cables limits movement and provides extra support. Cables installed correctly by a certified arborist, can help prevent storm and wind damage but if installed incorrectly the cable can create more problems than they are solving. Dave & Aaron Stang's Certified Tree Care has the experience to do this service the right way the first time.
I want to tell you that your men did a wonderful job on my trees! I knew they needed a lot of help and my daughter and husband said it was amazing how much the men were removing and how hard they worked! They said the men were very pleasant and helpful! I am so glad that I decided on your company.

I was quite pleased with the work your team of professionals accomplished for us. They were hard working, polite, and quite knowledgeable. They did the work better than we could have expected. Cleanup was especially well done. The two trees are beautiful and I’m sure will be healthier in the future due to your efforts. I will recommend your tree service to all my family and friends.
