HERE’S WHY SO MANY PEOPLE PREFER TITAN ARBOR CARE

Adam Cook • August 12, 2022

Autumn is fast approaching, and many of us are looking forward to that all-too-brief respite between the summer’s sweltering heat and the winter’s bone-chilling cold.


Still, if you have yet to prune your trees, the gathering blanket of leaves soon to cover your doorstep should remind you of the blanket of snow on the way. Gently falling leaves can give way to hazardous falling branches heavy with ice when caution is thrown to the wind.

In and around Medina County, the owners of Titan Arbor Care, certified arborists Jay Dalton, Jeremy Rolf, and Tyler Honsaker, are taking on their clients’ trees.


“You want to be able to envision a bird flying through the crown,” says Jay. “If you can’t, you want to prune to let the wind flow. The tree looks better, and you won’t have to worry about it toppling over in a big storm.”


It’s best to leave pruning to the professionals, who can use a trained eye to spot dead or diseased branches that need to come down, significantly reducing hazards to yourself, your family, your home, and your neighbors. Regular pruning even extends the life span of your trees.

“A tree is either a benefit or a hindrance,” says Jay. “Some trees reach a point where it looks like the only answer is removal, but there might be other options such as corrective pruning or an injection.”


Titan Arbor Care can safely and expertly trim the enormous oaks, maples, and other trees producing bursts of reds, yellows, purples, oranges, and browns as the fall foliage climbs to spectacular heights.


Stump Grinding, Removal and Site Repair
The white blanket of snow familiar in Northeast Ohio that will be here soon enough can hide other hazards, exposed roots and stumps. Fall is an ideal time to remove them since the ground is still firm, not soft and saturated with moisture or frozen, to keep you and your family from getting tripped up over the winter.

“Our stump grinding machine is portable enough to go anywhere and goes deep enough to where we’re sure we’re going to get the thing out,” says Jay. “All our equipment is compact enough to move around with minimal disruption.”


Titan Arbor Care will repair the site of the stump and replant grass. They can quote tree planting services as well.


Protecting Your Yard
The owners of Titan Arbor stand by their promise to guard your yard and have over 200 feet of planking to take the extra step to ensure minimal disruption to their clients’ properties.

“Our owners are in three different school districts, Brunswick, Cloverleaf, and Wadsworth, and we’re real proud of where we live,” says Jay.

As the neighborhood overwatch, he, Jeremy, and Tyler credit the real heroes by offering a discount to those who serve or have served in the military. Seniors enjoy the same benefit.


“We take every step to leave your yard better than we found it,” says Jay. “We haul away the grindings, spread fresh topsoil, and plant grass right away. So, you’re left with a nice, clean, finished yard. If we didn’t, to us, it would seem like an incomplete job.”


By planting grass right away, Titan goes one better than most tree care professionals. While the company plants grass every time on any job that calls for it, there’s no better time than now.


Grass seedlings love autumn, too. They’re shielded from the summer’s sweltering heat and have enough time to establish themselves before winter’s freezing cold sets in.


With potential hazards out the way, you’ll be able to rest easy this winter and be sitting pretty when the blanket of snow melts and fresh grass sprouts this spring.

Spring is nature’s wake-up call. With just over a month left until the season’s arrival, it’s time to roll up your sleeves, grab a shovel, and get planting. But when it comes to trees, if you’d rather not get your hands dirty, consider reaching out to the professionals at Titan Arbor Care. Certified arborists Jay Dalton, Jeremy Rolf and Tyler Honsaker, co-owners of the company that’s quickly becoming a go-to source for all things trees, specialize in preserving lush greenery and strategically managing tree removal and replacement to foster flourishing landscapes. Jay digs into why it’s time to rise to the occasion as spring approaches and warming temperatures coax the soil out of its winter slumber. “As the soil warms, tree roots become more active, making it ideal for planting trees and providing them with the perfect environment to establish themselves,” he explains. There’s no time like the present to give saplings the water they need to get established as they settle into their new digs. “There’s typically plenty of moisture in the spring, reducing the need for extensive watering,” Jay says. “We provide watering bags for convenience. Just fill them as needed, depending on the temperature outside. These bags gradually release water, ensuring consistent hydration as trees settle into their new surroundings.”

You’re nearing the end of your spring clean-up checklist. You’ve scrubbed the house, and now it’s time to set your sights on sprucing up the yard. Glancing at your trees might reveal foliage that failed to return, leaving dead or diseased branches exposed or a towering trunk with healthy branches in full swing too close to the house for comfort, overshadowing the rest of the property’s beauty. In and around Medina County, the owners of Titan Arbor Care, certified arborists Jay Dalton, Jeremy Rolf, and Tyler Honsaker, are removing dead wood and reviving yards, putting down fresh topsoil and planting grass and often a tree or two—restoring and reforesting lawns in time for summer. “There are many reasons you might have to strategically remove a tree, but after completely removing the stump, we’ll recondition the yard and can plant a tree or a couple to take its place,” Jay says. “We leave every yard better than we found it.” There’s magic in the shade trees cast, as anyone who’s sat for a spell under a leafy canopy on a hot summer day knows. Still, disenchantment for a homeowner takes root whenever the wrong tree is in the wrong spot. “You want to choose the right tree for the right spot,” Jay says. “You don’t want a large tree too close to the house or a small tree out in the open.” Deep roots undermine foundations, and fierce winds shake loose branches and topple trunks, causing property damage and endangering lives. Yet, properly placed trees are treasured assets, lending their charm to curb appeal while absorbing pollution and excess water. “A tree is a benefit or a hindrance,” Jay says. “Pruning lets the wind flow, so you won’t have to worry when the storm blows.” It’s best to leave it to those with a trained eye to spot dead or diseased branches and the expertise to bring them down safely—professionals who can make polishing off your spring clean-up checklist a breeze.

You probably won’t appreciate that your yard’s trees could use some sprucing up until you’re outside in the summer shade. Still, it’s not too late. All it takes is a trained eye. In and around Medina County, the owners of Titan Arbor Care, certified arborists Jay Dalton, Jeremy Rolf, and Tyler Honsaker, are out taking care of their clients’ trees. “You want to be able to envision a bird flying through the crown,” says Jay. “If you can’t, you want to prune to let the wind flow through. The tree looks better, and you won’t have to worry about it toppling over in a big storm.” If it’s a tall order, it’s better to leave it to the professionals. Once they’re up there, a trained eye can spot dead or diseased branches that need to come down, extending the tree’s life span. “A tree is either a benefit or a hindrance,” says Jay. “Some trees reach a point where it looks like the only answer is removal, but there might be other options such as corrective pruning or an injection.” Even so, there are many reasons you might want to remove it. It could be that you’re now realizing, as you’ve had a chance to spend some time outside, that it’s too close to the house, threatening the foundation, or just detracting from the beauty of your yard. When that’s the case, there’s no time like the present. Summer happens to be the ideal time to remove a tree since the ground is firmer. “We take every step to leave your yard better than we found it,” says Jay. “We haul away the grindings, spread fresh topsoil, and plant grass right away.” With that out of the way and the trees spruced up, you can appreciate the difference a trained eye makes.

In and around Medina County, Titan Arbor Care goes above and beyond to guard clients’ yards. That’s a promise certified arborists Jay Dalton, Jeremy Rolf, and Tyler Honsaker stand by. Last year, when the owner of First Choice Tree Work retired, the trio bought out the company they had worked for since 2013. Now, under their new banner, it’s easy to spot why the experienced team of tree care specialists cuts such a unique profile. Just look at their helmets. “We’re all on the same wavelength,” says Jay. “We have the same high level of education, and we can communicate wirelessly through our helmets without all the screaming and yelling you might hear from other crews.” Armed with an array of tools, they safely take down enormous oaks, maples, and any other manner of tree that threatens a home’s integrity, while leaving a faint footprint. “We have over 200 feet of planking we can put down to protect the yard, and our equipment is compact and lightweight enough to move around with minimal disruption,” says Jay. The team does one better than most. “Our stump grinding machine is portable, fits through a 36-inch gate and goes deep enough to where we’re sure we’re going to get the whole thing out,” says Jay. “We take every step to leave your yard better than we found it. We give the option to haul away the grindings, spread fresh topsoil, and plant grass right away. So, you’re left with a nice clean finished yard. If we didn’t, to us, it would seem like an incomplete job.” Titan Arbor Care stands out from other tree care providers. “Everyone says free estimates, but we say quote. Unless the scope of work changes, we won’t change the price,” says Jay. Although it’s difficult to part with a beloved tree, sometimes removal is the only option—but not always. “A tree is either a benefit or hindrance,” says Jay. “Some think the only answer is removal, and there might be other options such as corrective pruning, or there might be an injection or a treatment of some type. It’s hard to replace a mature tree, we’d rather prune it than remove it, and if it’s not worth it, we’ll tell you."
