Local Conditions

The Ground in Lima

Glacial till plain along the Routes 5&20 corridor, rich farmland loam with generally good drainage and scattered wetland pockets Soft ground after wet spells means we mat high traffic access paths before equipment moves in.

Weather Here

Continental winter pattern removed from lake effect bands, averaging roughly 50 to 55 inches of snow a year We schedule structural pruning ahead of the heaviest ice load weeks so weak limbs do not fail on their own.

Pruned for health, not just looks

Correct pruning does more than tidy a tree: it removes deadwood before it falls, opens the canopy to reduce wind and ice load, and directs growth away from your roofline and wires. Our climbers work to ANSI A300 pruning standards on every job.

We prune ornamentals, shade trees, and fruit trees on a schedule that fits your property, with debris chipped and hauled the same day.
