Professional Tree Services in
Munson Township, OH

Munson Township borders Chardon directly to the south and west, making it the closest community to our home base. Wes can be on a Munson Township property in 10 to 15 minutes, which means faster estimates, quicker scheduling, and the shortest emergency response times in our service area. The township spans roughly 24 square miles of quintessential Geauga County landscape: wooded ridges, rolling farm fields, and residential properties carved out of second growth forest along roads like Rockhaven, Mayfield, and Bass Lake.

Bass Lake, a 50 acre natural kettle lake near the center of the township, is one of Munson’s defining features. The properties around Bass Lake and neighboring Woodiebrook Lake have shoreline trees, primarily willows, red maples, and swamp oaks, that grow in perpetually moist soil. Those species develop extensive but shallow root networks in the saturated ground, and they are prone to leaning and toppling during saturated soil wind events, particularly in late winter and early spring when the frost comes out of the ground and the water table is at its peak. We handle lakeside removals carefully, using rigging to keep debris out of the water and off docks. When a tree goes down near the shore, it is not just a tree problem but a drainage and access issue too, and we make sure the site is cleaned up completely.

The eastern half of Munson Township is more agricultural, with active farms and large parcels that have woodlots, hedgerows, and tree lined fence rows. The common farm tree management requests we get here include clearing overgrown fence lines, removing dead or dying trees from around barns and outbuildings, and opening up field edges where the woods have been creeping into productive pasture. We do selective clearing on these properties, taking out the problem trees and invasive species while leaving desirable hardwoods that provide windbreak value and wildlife habitat. A lot of Munson’s rural properties also have old apple orchards that have gone wild, and homeowners sometimes want those cleaned up: dead trees removed, survivors pruned back, and the stumps ground so the area can be mowed.

Munson Township sits at the heart of the Geauga County snowbelt at an elevation of about 1,200 feet. The township regularly records some of the highest snowfall totals in the county, with 90 to 110 inch winters being typical. That persistent snow load is hard on trees, particularly multi stemmed species and trees with included bark at their branch unions. Crabapples, ornamental pears, and silver maples are the most common storm casualties in Munson’s residential areas. We also respond to a lot of calls for trees that have fallen across driveways in the township, which is a bigger deal here than in more developed areas because many Munson properties have a single long driveway as their only access. When a tree blocks that driveway during a winter storm, getting it cleared is urgent.
