Disposal Is Part of the Job

Tree Service in Fairfield comes with a clear instruction from the city. Fairfield's Public Works department runs a brush and limb pickup from April through October, but it states that residents who hire professional tree trimming or removal services should include disposal in their contract, because the city is unable to accommodate major disposal needs. We agree with that, and every Fairfield estimate we write includes chipping, hauling and cleanup unless you ask us to leave wood behind.

How the city program works

For your own pruning, Fairfield picks up brush by request. Call or submit the form at least a week ahead, by 5 p.m. the preceding Monday. The city is divided into three weekly areas: west of Pleasant Avenue (U.S. 127) in week one, Pleasant Avenue to Winton Road in week two, and east of Winton Road in week three, with no pickups in the last week of each month. Limbs can be up to 10 feet long, laid parallel to the road with cut ends one way, and bundles must weigh 60 pounds or less, tied with natural fiber cord. For bigger loads, the city lends a driveway brush dumpster on request, 8 by 10 feet and 42 inches deep, up to twice a year.

Planting help from the city

Fairfield's Residential Tree Program pays 50% of a tree's cost, up to $200, when you buy from a participating garden center after applying to Public Works between April 1 and November 1. The city's list recommends small trees such as serviceberry, redbud and dogwood for tree lawns 5 to 6 feet wide, medium trees for tree lawns 10 feet or wider, and suggests planting large trees like oaks and sugar maples farther into the yard to avoid sidewalk and utility conflicts. If we remove a tree for you, that program is a good way to replace it.

Land along the Great Miami

Fairfield sits on the east bank of the Great Miami River, over the Great Miami Buried Valley Aquifer. Silver maples, sycamores and cottonwoods are common near rivers across this region; they grow fast, and fast-grown trees often carry long, heavy limbs that benefit from reduction pruning.

Fairfield Questions

Will Fairfield pick up the wood after my tree is cut down?

The city's program is meant for residents' routine brush, and it asks people who hire tree services to include disposal in the contract. Our Fairfield estimates include hauling unless you want the wood left.

Can I get help paying for a replacement tree?

Yes. Apply to Fairfield Public Works before buying; the Residential Tree Program covers half the tree cost up to $200 at participating garden centers, one tree per owner per year.

What tree should go in a narrow tree lawn?

Fairfield recommends small species under about 30 feet, such as serviceberry, redbud or Japanese tree lilac, for tree lawns 5 to 6 feet wide. Large trees belong farther back in the yard.

Can I borrow the city's brush dumpster for a big pruning job?

Fairfield delivers an 8-by-10-foot brush box to your driveway on request, for up to two consecutive days and up to twice a year, booked first-come, first-served through Public Works. Limbs must be cut to 4 feet or less and only plant material is allowed. It suits a large do-it-yourself cleanup better than a professional removal.
