Tree Pruning & Deadwooding
Well-cared-for trees are attractive and can add considerable value to your property. Proper tree care is an investment that can lead to substantial returns. We prune in strict adherence to the professional standards of the International Society of Arboriculture (ISA). Our arborists can determine what type of pruning is necessary to maintain or improve the health, appearance and safety of your trees.
Why Perform Tree Pruning?
Pruning is a necessity on all trees and shrubs no matter what size they are. Mature trees require pruning to eliminate dead and dying branches. This promotes health and safety for the tree and community. It is documented that tree pruning reduces wind resistance during storms. With less resistance this causes less storm damage to your property.
Beneficial pruning will:
- Eliminate branches that rub each other.
- Remove limbs that interfere with wires, building facades, gutters, roofs, chimneys, windows or obstruct streets or sidewalks.
- Remove dead or weak limbs that pose a hazard and may lead to decay in the tree.
- Remove diseased or insect infested limbs. Create better structure to reduce the potential for storm damage.
- Remove limbs damaged by adverse weather conditions.
- Thin or remove unnecessary branches for the tree to support.
- Improve the shape or silhouette of the tree
Tree Removal – what to expect
Urban and suburban landscapes can present a challenge. We frequently work in suburban neighborhoods, providing tree service Westerville and in other suburbs around Columbus. Trees in neighborhoods often are surrounded by other valuable plantings or structures. Tree removals, especially for large trees, require careful dismantling by highly trained personnel utilizing state-of-the-art machinery to ensure your safety and the protection of your home and property. The use of specialized equipment during tree removals is determined by the conditions on your landscape, branch architecture, and the soundness of your tree.
Standard tree removal includes:
- Taking down a tree
- Chipping all brush
- Hauling away wood (unless specified differently)
- Cutting the stumps as flush as possible to the ground
- Optional: Cutting wood at specified length and leaving on premises
- Optional: We also can provide stump grinding & chip disposal services
Why Remove a Tree?
Although tree removal is certainly a last resort, but removal can help and is recommended when:
- The tree canopy is more than 40% dead or dying.
- The tree is considered irreparably hazardous.
- The tree is crowding and causing harm to other trees.
- The tree is to be replaced by a more suitable specimen.
- The tree is causing an obstruction that is impossible to correct through pruning.
- The tree should be removed to allow for new construction.
- The removal of trees, when needed, can also open up opportunities to plant something new and appropriate for your growing environment – giving your landscape increased value and/or health.

We can flush the stump as low to the ground as possible – or, if you want to replant or have no remnants of the tree remaining, we are equipped to grind out any size stump. Depending on the size and type of stump, the amount of chips after stump grinding will vary. No matter the size of the stump, or location, we have the equipment and expertise to handle the job in a safe and efficient manner, including:

Why Remove a Stump?
When, unfortunately, a tree has to be cut down, their roots continue to grow and produce new growth. To start the decaying process of the root system it is important to grind tree stumps. According to National Arborists, failing to grind away tree stumps can result in other trees becoming infected. Fungi can infect tree stumps that have been left after a tree has been cut down. This can lead to fungi spores being released into the soil and then spread to your healthy trees. This in turn causes your healthy trees to be infected and further damage occurs. Tree stumps can also be an eyesore and safety hazard on your property. They can create trip hazards and make lawn care a more difficult task. The professionals at Charter Oaks have the expertise and equipment to grind any size tree stump with minimal damage to your property.
Tree Removal Alternative: Cabling and Bracing
Cabling and bracing create artificial support to structurally weak or injured trees and branches. These supports help to prevent further injuries, such as crotch and branch failure, by providing protection. This practice may also extend the life and well being of the tree. The fork of a tree is the weakest point of a trees structure. Installing a cable system in a tree will help to support the main forks of the tree by differing breakage from strong winds and ice storms. Cable systems help maintain the natural beauty of the tree, while making a tree more secure. This helps prevent property damage that might occur in a storm—and also stabilizes areas of your tree that are prone to breaking or have areas of disease and decay.
