Common Questions About Skyline Tree Service and Our Services
How does Summit Tree Care remove trees?
We begin with a walkthrough of your property to see where the tree stands and what might be around it. Trees close to homes, fences, or wires need careful planning. We pick the right equipment based on the layout – sometimes it’s a chainsaw and ropes, sometimes it’s a crane. Once the tree is taken down safely, we cut it up, haul it away, and can grind the stump if you want it gone. Our crew always cleans the site so you’re not stuck with the mess. We explain everything beforehand and stick to the plan. No surprises. We’ve removed trees from small backyards, wooded lots, and tight city spaces. We’ve seen it all. If there’s anything tricky, we’ll talk it through with you before we start. Safety and clear communication matter just as much as getting the job done.
Do I need to be home during tree service?
Not always. If it’s basic trimming, pruning, or stump grinding, we can usually take care of it without you being there. We just need access to the space and clear instructions about what needs to be done. If it’s your first time using us or if the job is complicated, we may set up a time to meet and walk through everything together. That way you can ask questions and we’re all on the same page. Either way, we keep you updated. We call when we’re on the way and let you know when we’re done. If anything changes while we’re working, we’ll pause and check with you before moving forward. You’ll also get a clear quote before the job starts. You won’t come home to unexpected charges or something you didn’t agree to. We do things the way we’d want someone to handle it at our place.
Is Summit Tree Care licensed and insured?
Yes. We’re fully licensed to work in Ohio and carry the insurance that covers both our crew and your property. That includes liability and workers’ comp. Tree work can be risky, especially when dealing with large limbs, roofs, or utility lines. We follow safety rules and make sure every team member is trained for the job they’re doing. We also carry proof of insurance and licensing, and we’re happy to show it if you ask. This stuff matters. Without insurance, any damage or injury could become your problem, and that’s not right. When you hire us, you’re not just paying for equipment and labor. You’re also getting the peace of mind that the job will be done the right way and that everyone’s protected if something goes wrong. We take care of our team, and we take care of you too.
Does Summit Tree Care offer free estimates?
Yes, every estimate is free. We won’t charge you to take a look or talk through a job. Just give us a call or send a message through the website, and we’ll schedule a visit. One of our team members will come out, walk the property with you, and go over what needs to be done. You’ll get a written quote that lays out everything clearly – no fine print or hidden costs. You don’t have to book on the spot. We want you to have time to think it over and ask questions. We’re not in the business of pressuring folks into fast decisions. The estimate is good for a while, and if anything changes, we’ll update the quote before we start. Our goal is to make the process simple. You know what it costs, what’s included, and when it will get done.
How long does a tree job usually take?
It depends on the work. A basic tree trimming might take one to three hours. If we’re removing a large tree near your house or close to power lines, it could take a full day. Some jobs need more gear, like cranes or climbing equipment, and that adds time. Before we start, we’ll walk the site and give you an honest estimate of how long it will take. That way you’re not left guessing. If we run into anything unexpected – like tough ground or weather delays – we’ll keep you updated. We don’t cut corners just to finish faster. We stay focused on safety and making sure everything is done right. Once the work is done, we clean up thoroughly. You won’t be left with branches, sawdust, or tire marks in your yard. We treat your property with care from start to finish.
How much does tree trimming or removal cost?
Cost depends on a few things: the size of the tree, where it’s located, how easy it is to reach, and the kind of work it needs. A small tree that’s easy to access might cost a few hundred dollars. A large tree near wires or structures will cost more because it takes more time and tools to remove safely. Diseased or damaged trees sometimes need extra care, which also affects the price. We don’t guess. We’ll come out, look at the job, and give you a clear written quote that explains the total cost. No hidden fees. No vague estimates. If you have questions about what the price includes, we’ll explain it in plain language. You’ll know exactly what we’re doing and what you’re paying for. We believe in fair pricing and doing the job right the first time. That’s how we’ve built trust in Pepper Pike.

Can Summit Tree Care help choose and plant new trees?
Yes. If you want to add new trees to your yard, we can help pick the right ones. Not every tree fits every space. We’ll look at your soil, yard layout, and how much sunlight or shade the area gets. Then we’ll suggest trees that will grow well without damaging nearby buildings or wires. We also think ahead – making sure the tree won’t outgrow its space or cause root problems later. Once you’ve picked the tree, we’ll plant it for you, making sure it’s set up to grow strong. We’ll also walk you through how to care for it. If you want help with watering, pruning, or feeding down the road, we can set up a plan. Planting the right tree the right way saves money and headaches later on. We do it with care and help you get it right from the start.
