In the realm of tree care providers, where precision, safety, and service reign supreme, Titan Arbor Care is a towering presence with a team dedicated to upholding the highest standards.

“It begins with knowledge,” says Jay Dalton, one of the co-owners of Titan Arbor Care with Jeremy Rolf and Tyler Honsaker. “We’ve undergone extensive education and training, resulting in our certification as arborists. We adhere rigorously to the highest industry standards, tailoring tasks to the time of year, specific tree species, and specialized techniques while prioritizing safety for both our crew and your property.”

By adhering to the highest standards, the locally owned company champions best practices in every project it undertakes.

“When it comes to pruning, we offer a comprehensive canopy pruning service, provided the customer opts for it,” Jay explains. “This involves precise pruning back to the branch collar and steering clear of harmful practices like lion’s tailing or topping trees. Our crew never uses tree-climbing spikes, and we always remove the proper percentage of foliage to nurture healthier growth, bolster stability during adverse weather conditions, and maintain aesthetic appeal.”

Despite setting a high bar, Titan Arbor Care provides a range of service levels.

“Not everyone requires a full-scale package, so we’re flexible in tailoring our quotes to suit each client’s preferences, needs and budget,” Jay says. “That’s our ultimate aim with every client.”

“We’re trained to spot potential issues that could escalate over time,” he adds. “While a tree may appear healthy on the surface, there could be signs of trouble, such as indicators on the ground, trunk, or high up in the canopy. The team diligently identifies these warning signs and brings them to each client’s attention to avoid future complications.”

Titan Arbor Care prioritizes the long-term health and successful growth of every tree it touches so that each tree receives the care it needs to thrive, enhancing the overall beauty and vitality of clients’ landscapes.

“Selecting the right tree for the right spot is where we showcase our expertise as certified arborists,” Jay says. “We understand each tree’s potential growth, dimensions, growth rate, and environmental adaptations and account for factors like sunlight exposure, soil moisture and traffic patterns. We’ll remove the wrong tree in the wrong place and replace it with the right tree in the right place.”


Titan Arbor Care works to a better standard.

“We take every step to leave your yard better than we found it,” Jay says. “We haul away the grindings, spread fresh topsoil and plant grass right away. So, we leave you with a nice, clean, finished yard. If we didn’t, to us it would seem like an incomplete job.”

Jay and the rest of the team take pride in the betterment of the neighborhood. It’s their neighborhood, too.

“We’re local, and we support local communities,” he says. “Our owners are in three different school districts: Brunswick, Cloverleaf and Wadsworth, and we’re really proud of where we live and the greater community we call home.”

From protecting delicate plants and shrubs to tidying up post-project debris, Titan Arbor Care works to exceed expectations and stand head and shoulders above the competition, elevating landscapes to new heights.

“We have multiple certified arborists in the field, ensuring that we adhere not only to the scope of work but also to industry standards,” Jay says. “This commitment ensures that our practices stand the test of time, guaranteeing quality service now and in the future, so you’ll always know we’ve done things right and delivered nothing short of the highest quality.”
