Tree Service in Cincinnati, OH
ISA Certified Arborist Care for the Queen City's Mature Trees and Historic Neighborhoods
since 2015
The Bigger the Tree, the More Specialized the Care
Cincinnati's neighborhoods were planted long before most of the homes that stand on them. Oaks and maples that are 80, 90, even 100+ years old anchor streets across Hyde Park, Mt. Lookout, Madeira, Anderson, and the dozens of other neighborhoods that make up the Queen City.
As those trees have kept growing, the work it takes to manage them has become its own specialty — and the team at Priority Tree has spent more than 11 years in this city doing exactly that.

Our Cincinnati Tree Services
Whether you're caring for a mature shade tree, clearing a building site, or responding to storm damage, our team provides the full range of professional tree services throughout Cincinnati.
Pruning & Trimming
Most of Cincinnati's mature canopy has outgrown the spaces it was planted in. Careful, structured pruning keeps limbs away from roofs, gutters, and power lines while protecting the long-term health of the tree.
Tree Removal
Removals near century-old homes, on tight urban lots, or in established landscapes require different equipment and a different approach than a wide-open suburban tear-down. Spider lifts, crane setups, and climbing rigs all play a role.
Emergency Tree Service
When a Cincinnati storm rolls through, fallen limbs and leaning trees can't wait. We respond efficiently with the equipment to handle real damage on the kinds of established lots common across the city.
Tree Preservation
A mature tree with a developing structural problem isn't always a removal job. Cabling, bracing, and fertilization can extend the safe life of an aging tree by years — sometimes decades.
Lot & Land Clearing
For the wooded property edges, overgrown back acres, and rural-feeling lots that come with the outer reaches of the metro, our forestry mulchers and heavy equipment clear the land cleanly.
Tree Planting
A new tree on a Cincinnati property is a decades-long investment. Our Certified Arborist helps you pick a species suited to the soil, the climate, and the spot it'll grow into.
Yard Waste Removal
From a single storm's worth of debris to years of accumulated brush, our grapple trucks haul it off in one visit — no chipper noise, no waiting for next month's curbside pickup.
Commercial Tree Service
Whether it's routine maintenance or large-scale tree work, our experienced crews help businesses and property managers keep their landscapes safe, healthy, and looking their best.

Why Cincinnati's Trees Need Real Expertise
Cincinnati has more 60-to-100-year-old trees than most cities its size — and most of those trees were already there when the homes around them were built. That creates a specific kind of tree-care reality most other Midwestern cities don't share:
Trees That Have Outgrown the Space They Were Planted In: Mature oaks, maples, and silver maples often have limbs that now reach over roofs, brushing against gutters, leaning toward chimneys.
Storms That Compound the Risk: Cincinnati's mix of spring tornadoes, summer thunderstorms, ice storms, and the remnants of Gulf-fed tropical systems hits the city’s old trees hard. A 60-foot oak that's been growing toward your house for 40 years doesn't bend politely when the wind comes through.
Property Values Built Around the Trees: In most Cincinnati neighborhoods, the trees on a property aren't an afterthought — they're a defining feature. Decisions about what stays, what comes down, and what gets preserved affect a home's character and value for decades.
This is why most of the calls we take in Cincinnati involve careful judgment, not just heavy equipment. And why our Certified Arborist walks every job before quoting it.
The Standard We Hold Ourselves To
Why So Much of Our Work Comes from Referrals
Most of the calls we receive come from someone who has seen our work, hired us before, or heard about us from a neighbor. Here's what tends to earn those recommendations.
Your Estimate Comes from a Certified Arborist
Andrew Wilson, our owner, is an International Society of Arboriculture Certified Arborist (OH-7178A) who grew up in Cincinnati. Cincinnati's mature-tree work involves real judgment calls about structural integrity, removal versus preservation, and how to handle complex jobs safely. Those calls get made by Andrew, or one of our other Certified Arborists — always someone trained to make them.
The Right Equipment for the Job
Different properties create different challenges. A narrow backyard in Hyde Park requires a different approach than a wooded lot on the edge of the city. Our fleet includes spider lifts, grapple trucks, cranes, and other specialized equipment that allow us to complete work safely while minimizing disruption to the property.
We Respect the Property We’re Working On
Tree work is messy by nature, but that doesn't mean your property should be left that way. Once the work is complete, we clean up debris, clear hard surfaces, and leave the site in good condition so you're not dealing with the aftermath.
Honest Recommendations, Not Pressure Tactics
Not every tree needs to be removed. In many cases, pruning, cabling, or monitoring may be the better option. Our job is to assess the tree's condition and explain the options so you can make an informed decision about what happens next.

Worried About a Tree Near Your House?
You're not alone. It's the most common reason Cincinnati homeowners call us. The good news is that the solution isn't always removal. Our Certified Arborist will walk the property, look at the structural condition in person, and tell you what your trees actually need.

A Few Cincinnati Favorites
Cincinnati is a city of neighborhoods, and each one has its own personality. But a few cross-Cincinnati landmarks define what it means to live, work, and care about this city:
Over-the-Rhine
One of the most ambitious neighborhood revivals in the country, OTR pairs preserved 19th-century architecture with a thriving restaurant, brewery, and arts scene.
The Riverfront and Smale Riverfront Park
Miles of walkable paths along the Ohio River, the John A. Roebling Suspension Bridge, and the best view of the skyline from the Kentucky side.
Findlay Market
Ohio's oldest continuously operated public market — a Saturday morning institution with local producers, prepared food, and a community gathering spot that's been at the heart of the city for over 170 years.
The Skyline at Night
Whether from Devou Park in Covington, the Purple People Bridge, or one of the overlooks in Mt. Adams or Eden Park, Cincinnati's compact skyline against the river is one of the most genuinely striking urban views in the Midwest.
The Sports Tradition
Bengals, Reds, and FC Cincinnati. The Queen City is one that takes its teams personally and rallies around them with a kind of intensity bigger cities can't match.
Eden Park
A hilltop park with reservoir views, walking paths, and Krohn Conservatory — one of the city’s most loved outdoor spaces.
