The certified arborists at Titan Arbor Care are experts at tree pruning and removal, but the time to call is now

By Adam Cook

You probably won’t appreciate that your yard’s trees could use some sprucing up until you’re outside in the summer shade.

Still, it’s not too late. All it takes is a trained eye.

In and around Medina County, the owners of Titan Arbor Care, certified arborists Jay Dalton, Jeremy Rolf, and Tyler Honsaker, are out taking care of their clients’ trees.

“You want to be able to envision a bird flying through the crown,” says Jay. “If you can’t, you want to prune to let the wind flow through. The tree looks better, and you won’t have to worry about it toppling over in a big storm.”

If it’s a tall order, it’s better to leave it to the professionals. Once they’re up there, a trained eye can spot dead or diseased branches that need to come down, extending the tree’s life span.

“A tree is either a benefit or a hindrance,” says Jay. “Some trees reach a point where it looks like the only answer is removal, but there might be other options such as corrective pruning or an injection.”

Even so, there are many reasons you might want to remove it.

It could be that you’re now realizing, as you’ve had a chance to spend some time outside, that it’s too close to the house, threatening the foundation, or just detracting from the beauty of your yard.

When that’s the case, there’s no time like the present. Summer happens to be the ideal time to remove a tree since the ground is firmer.

“We take every step to leave your yard better than we found it,” says Jay. “We haul away the grindings, spread fresh topsoil, and plant grass right away.”

With that out of the way and the trees spruced up, you can appreciate the difference a trained eye makes.
