An Old City With Big Trees

Tree Service in Springfield deals with a city that has had two centuries to grow trees. James Demint, a former teamster from Kentucky, founded Springfield in 1801, and it became the county seat of Clark County. The city lies along the Mad River, Buck Creek and Beaver Creek, about 25 miles northeast of Dayton. Its older neighborhoods have large shade trees and older homes, and the creek valleys bring in bottomland trees that grow big fast.

Older housing, older trees

The 2020 census counted 27,689 housing units in Springfield, 11.1% vacant. Census QuickFacts lists a 52.4% owner-occupied rate and a median owner-occupied value of $116,800. Many homes are older and many are rentals. For owners and landlords alike, the common needs are practical: remove the dead tree, clear the roof, grind the stump, and keep costs predictable. Our estimates are itemized so you can choose what to do now.

Buck Creek and the reservoir

Buck Creek State Park, at the city's edge, covers more than 4,000 acres around the Clarence J. Brown Reservoir, held back by a 6,620-foot dam. The surrounding land includes glacial moraines, spring-fed bogs and fens, and restored prairie. Properties along Buck Creek and the Mad River often have cottonwoods, sycamores and silver maples, and wet soils that affect how firmly trees are anchored.

Historic homes

Springfield's Westcott House, a Frank Lloyd Wright Prairie-style home commissioned in 1908 on East High Street, is one sign of the city's architectural history. Older neighborhoods with large houses often have big trees close to roofs, porches and garages, where careful rigging matters more than speed.

Storm history in the region

Springfield sits in the path of the same weather that crosses the rest of the Miami Valley. The June 2012 derecho brought gusts above 80 mph to several locations in Ohio and knocked out power to more than 1 million customers statewide, and summer thunderstorms bring damaging winds most years. Older trees with deadwood or decay are the first to fail, so a check of large trees near the house every few years is worth the time.

Springfield Questions

Do you work in Springfield even though it's in Clark County?

Yes. Springfield is within our service area, along with the surrounding parts of Clark County.

I own several rentals. Can you quote them together?

Yes. We can visit each property and give you itemized written estimates, so you can prioritize the most urgent work.

A tree is growing into the power line on my street. Can you remove it?

Trees touching or near the main lines on poles should be handled by the electric utility. Call them first. We can handle the rest of the tree once the line is clear.

Can you remove a big tree close to an older house?

Yes. We climb and lower the tree in sections with ropes, and use a crane when that's the safest way. The estimate explains the method.

Should I treat or remove my ash tree?

If the ash is healthy, with a full crown, and important to you, treatment by a licensed pesticide applicator may be worth considering. If it has lost a third or more of its crown, removal is usually the safer choice.

Can you clean up a vacant or overgrown lot?

Yes. We remove dead and unwanted trees, clear brush and small saplings, and grind stumps if needed. The estimate lists each part of the job.

Do you work in the older neighborhoods with alleys?

Yes. Alley access often makes tree work easier, but tight alleys may mean we cut wood smaller and carry it out. The estimate notes access.
