Tree Service in Strongsville, OH

Tree Service in Strongsville is different from the inner-ring suburbs closer to Cleveland. The city covers about 24.6 square miles of land, more than most of its neighbors, and many homes back onto woods, ravines or Cleveland Metroparks land. That usually means more room to set up equipment and a better chance of felling a tree in one piece. It also means more wood and brush, and right now Strongsville's curbside brush chipping is suspended.

Where your brush goes

With chipping on hold, the city's Service Department lists two options: take brush to the city transfer station, or cut branches into 4-foot bundles weighing no more than 50 pounds and set them out for Republic Waste on your regular trash day. That works for a weekend of pruning. It does not work for a full removal, which can produce dozens of bundles and logs too heavy to lift. On our jobs, brush is chipped on site and hauled with the wood unless you ask us to leave chips or firewood. Your written estimate says which.

The Rocky River and the reservation

The East Branch of the Rocky River enters Strongsville from North Royalton and leaves into Berea, with Valley Parkway following its course. Cleveland Metroparks' Mill Stream Run Reservation runs along that river, including Bonnie Park and Ranger Lake. In Bonnie Park, the dam and foundation of the area's first mill, built in 1820, still remain. Homes near the reservation tend to have wooded back lots, slopes toward the valley and trees that grew up in a forest setting: tall, with small crowns high up and few low limbs. When the woods around such a tree are thinned for a house or yard, it is suddenly exposed to wind it never had to handle.

City trees and the cost-share program

The Service Department's Division of Forestry is responsible for all city-owned trees and monitors planting, pruning and removal on public property, including tree lawns. If you want a new street tree, the city runs a cost-share program: for 2026, a 1 3/4-inch caliper tree planted in your tree lawn for $155, with spring orders due by February 20. Approved species come from the city's street tree list. If a tree lawn tree is the problem, call the city (440-580-3100) rather than a private crew.
