Execution notes
Measured like a theorem. Finished like a ghost.
Every removal is its own puzzle: how much the crown weighs, what it can hit coming down, where a truck or crane can reach. We rig it so the wood comes down in pieces instead of a crash, then haul off the wood and chips before we leave.
How the job runs
You see each step coming.
- 01 //
On-site estimate
We walk the tree, check access and what's underneath, and give you a firm written price — no guessing from the curb.
- 02 //
Plan the drop
We map fall direction, rope paths, and crane setup if the yard is tight, then protect beds, fences, and the lawn.
- 03 //
Sectional takedown
The tree comes down in measured pieces, lowered or craned out so nothing slams the ground or your turf.
- 04 //
Cut low and clear roots
We cut the trunk low to the ground and clear the surface so the spot is tidy and ready for whatever comes next.
- 05 //
Haul and rake clean
Wood, brush, and chips are removed and the work area is raked so it looks like the tree was never there.

FAQ
Questions, answered.
Do I need to be home when you take the tree down?
Not usually. Once we've walked the job and you've approved the written price, most removals are done with you away. We text before and after, and there's nothing to clean up when you get back.
Do you grind stumps?
We don't grind stumps in-house, but we work with a trusted local stump-grinding company and can connect you.
My tree is right next to the house — can you still get it out?
Yes. Tight backyards and zero-clearance trees are exactly where we bring the crane and rigging, lowering the wood in pieces instead of felling it whole.
Do you offer 24/7 emergency tree removal in Medina County?
Yes. Ghost Tree Service answers around the clock for storm damage and hazard trees across Medina County and Northeast Ohio. Call (330) 907-6403.
What does tree removal cost?
Cost depends on the tree's size, location, access, and whether a crane is needed. You get the full price on site, before any work begins.
Are you insured?
Yes. Ghost Tree Service is insured, and references are available on request, especially for commercial, municipal, and utility accounts.
What is low-impact tree service?
It means protecting your property while we work and leaving the site clean. We haul, chip, and rake so the hazard is gone and the yard looks like we were never there.
How fast can you respond after a storm?
Emergencies are triaged on the call. For active hazards we move as fast as conditions and crew availability allow; planned work is scheduled around the danger.
