Tree Service in Bellbrook, OH

Tree Service in Bellbrook often means working in a wooded setting. The town's name joins Stephen Bell, one of the town's early settlers who helped found it, with Little Sugar Creek, which flows through it. Bellbrook was surveyed in 1816, became a city in 1974 after annexing land from Sugarcreek Township, and now covers about 3.1 square miles. Many lots back onto creek ravines and wooded slopes, and large native trees are common in back yards.

Wooded lots need a different approach

A tree in a woods behaves differently from one alone in a lawn. Trees that grew up together lean on each other for wind protection, and removing one can expose its neighbors. On a wooded lot, we look at the group, not just the single tree. Sometimes thinning a few small trees helps the larger ones; sometimes taking out a dominant tree means a nearby one needs pruning to handle the new wind load.

Slopes and the creek

Little Sugar Creek and its tributaries cut through the area, and many yards have slopes down to the water. On slopes, we pay attention to where cut pieces could roll and how the crew can work safely. Near the creek, we try to leave root systems in place to hold the bank, grinding stumps only when needed.
