Tree Removal in Akron, OH: What to Expect Before Winter | Mike Jones & Sons

Matthew Gavin • October 30, 2026

Late fall is one of the best times for tree removal in Akron. The leaves are down, so our crew can see every limb, and the ground is still firm enough for trucks before the snow comes. A dead or leaning tree that looks fine in October can come down on a roof, car or power line in the first heavy snow or ice storm.

Signs a tree should come down

  • Dead branches or bark falling off the trunk
  • A new lean, or soil heaving up at the base
  • Mushrooms or rot at the base
  • Big limbs hanging over your house, driveway or wires
  • Storm damage like split trunks or hanging limbs

  1. Free virtual estimate. Send us photos or a short video and we'll quote the job without a trip out. Get an estimate
  2. Planning the job. We look at what's nearby, like the house, fences, gardens and wires, and decide whether to fell the tree or take it down in sections from a bucket truck.
  3. Removal. Our crew takes the tree down safely and in a controlled way.
  4. Cleanup. We haul away the brush and leave your yard clean.
