Tree Service in Glendale, OH

Tree Service in Glendale begins by drawing a line between village trees and private ones. The village is responsible for pruning, planting and removing public trees, meaning trees in parks, greenbelts and the public right-of-way. Glendale defines the right-of-way as generally the area between the street and the sidewalk, or, where there is no sidewalk, roughly four to six feet into the grass from the street. Village ordinances forbid anyone from planting new trees on public property or removing or damaging trees there, and residents are asked to report public tree issues to the Village Office.

So if the tree that worries you stands in that strip, call the village at (513) 771-7200 first. If it is on your side of the line, we can help.

A village that plants trees

Glendale has been a Tree City USA since 1996 and has received multiple Tree City USA Growth Awards. Its six-member Urban Forestry Board, appointed by the mayor, advises council on park and street trees and maintains trees, shrubs and flowerbeds in the parks with volunteer help. Each fall and winter the village plants new trees and removes dead or diseased ones on public land, with planting funded by private donations. That care shows on the streets, and owners here tend to expect the same quality on private trees.

Historic district, small village

Glendale is a village of about 2,300 people on roughly 1.6 square miles, and it includes the Glendale Historic District. The village symbol is the black squirrel, and it runs its own water plant drawing from artesian wells. Older homes here often have mature trees close to porches and outbuildings. Our work in Glendale leans toward careful pruning and preservation, with removals done in small, controlled pieces.

How brush and leaves are handled

Glendale Public Works collects brush and limbs from mid-March through mid-September in 2026, typically April through September. Brush must be stacked neatly at the curb, not bundled, and branches over 6 inches in diameter are not accepted. Small piles that would fit in a brown paper yard bag go to Rumpke in a container instead. Loose leaves are collected from October 12 through December 18. After the brush season ends, brush must be bundled or containerized for Rumpke. For our jobs, wood and brush are hauled away, so nothing waits at the curb.

Typical Glendale work

• Crown cleaning and weight reduction on large yard trees near historic homes
• Removing dead or declining private trees
• Pruning branches off roofs, chimneys and gutters
• Removing dead ash, a problem across Ohio since emerald ash borer spread statewide
• Stump grinding where a private tree has come out
