Keeping It Green - Lawn Care and Landscaping Blog

The summer of 2007 brought a nasty drought to the Cincinnati area, which resulted in a lot of dead trees. We were sad to see so many of them die, and then the Hurricane force winds of Ike in September 2008 swept through and “helped” bring some of those trees down.

It’s hard to watch a tree die when you think of all those years spent growing tall and providing beauty and shade. And the refreshing smell of pine wafting through the air on a summer day reminds me of camping in the mountains and sleeping among the pines as a kid. And a little part of me just wishes that it would come back to life, but I know better. And looking around the neighborhood, we all come to the realization that it’s time to clean up those dead trees and make room for new life.

So today, in Springfield Township, some neighbors joined together and hired Keeping It Green to take down those dead trees. Aside from the fact that it’s kind of fun getting together with the neighbors on a beautiful sunny afternoon, this type of community tree service saves us all a little green in the process.

Keeping It Green is happy to offer multi-family discounts for tree services, and other similar services. It saves us money to rent the equipment for multiple jobs, so we’re happy to pass that savings along to our customers. After all, who doesn’t want to save a few bucks these days?

You might be looking at your trees and wondering how the heck you’re going to get that thing down. And after last year, you’re probably more scared than usual that some high winds will blow that sucker on to your home and cause some damage. That’s where we come in. We’ve got the equipment and the skills to get to some pretty high trees and bring them down without damaging your property. And once the tree is down, we can remove the stump too.

Now let’s talk about how we can work together to “Keep It Green”. First of all, removing that dead tree is sad, but it’s necessary. That dead tree isn’t doing anyone any good. It’s an eye sore and it’s a hazard because it’s just standing there, waiting for a wind or some soft soil to loosen its roots and fall. But look at it like this: it’s free firewood, drying and curing and waiting to be cut up! So we’ll take down that tree and cut up some nice firewood to keep you warm this winter and help you save on your heating bill. But we don’t stop there. What about that big open space? Well, plant another tree! We like Fast Growing Trees Nursery as a great option to plant something that will grow fast and fill up that space with a lush, beautiful tree.

So if you’re looking around your neighborhood and notice some dead trees, knock on your neighbor’s door, or holler across the fence, and ask them if they want a discount on taking down those dead trees. We’ll be happy to help!
