Piqua grew up along the Great Miami River and the old Miami & Erie Canal, and its older neighborhoods show it: big lots, brick homes, and street trees that were planted generations ago. Those trees are a big part of what makes neighborhoods around downtown and the Caldwell Historic District feel the way they do. Many of them are also reaching the age where they need real care.
On the edges of town, the picture changes to newer subdivisions with young trees that need good structural pruning early, and rural lots out toward the Johnston Farm & Indian Agency where fencerows and woodlots fill in with brush if nobody keeps after them.
Being based here means shorter drive times, easier scheduling, and a crew that will see your yard every time they drive by. We want it to look good.
Local trees, local problems.
Mature trees in older neighborhoods
Large maples, oaks and sycamores over houses, garages and narrow drives often need deadwood removed and clearance over roofs. Sometimes careful, rigged removals are needed where there’s no room to drop anything.
Dead ash still standing
Emerald ash borer killed most untreated ash trees in the area. The ones still standing get more brittle every year, and they’re among the most dangerous trees to leave near a house.
Silver maples and storm damage
Fast-growing silver maples are everywhere in town. They’re prone to splitting and dropping big limbs in summer storms, so regular pruning pays off.
Low, wet yards near the river
Heavy soils and low spots hold water after big rains. Grading and drainage work can turn a soggy yard back into usable lawn.
