🌳🐾 While surveying storm damage over the past few weeks, our crews performed a few unexpected rescue missions.

First, our arborists became aware of a raccoon who was trapped and separated from her kits. Our team safely freed her and got her back on her way.

Then came three baby squirrels who had fallen from their nest. We rescued them and safely delivered them to a local wildlife shelter.

Animal rescues may not be part of the everyday job, but when wildlife needs help, we’re happy to lend a hand!🌳💚

📚 Back to school, and back to safety! 🌳

As the school year gets underway in Cincinnati, our crews continue to sharpen their skills through monthly safety training.

During last month’s training, our teams focused on two essential pieces of equipment used regularly on our job sites: chainsaws 🪚 and mini skid steers (Dingos) 🚜.

Safety is a core part of what we do, which is why we prioritize monthly training covering equipment, job-site procedures, and best practices for our landscaping, tree care, and plant health care teams.

We do this to keep our crews safe, our customers protected, and our work performed to the highest standard. 🌿

A huge thank you to our crews!

They've worked tirelessly, and we are extremely grateful for their hard work helping homeowners with tree emergencies after the recent storms.

⚠️The recent high heat and severe storms today put stress on the larger, mature trees in the area, making them susceptible to branch failure.

If you have a damaged or hanging tree limb, don’t wait for it to fall. Even branches that appear stable can become dangerous during or after a storm.

Our crews are available for emergency tree removal, hazardous limb removal, and securing damaged trees.

If you’re in the Greater Cincinnati Area and need emergency tree service, reach out to us. We’re here to help keep your property and neighborhood safe.

We hope the storms today pass without any damages but we are here for you 24/7 for any emergency tree work that comes your way!

CHCA’s first grade students brought learning to life this Earth Day with hands-on tree planting and outdoor learning experiences. It was so fun watching the kids get excited about nature, trees, and caring for the environment, truly little arborists for the day!

Our ISA Board Certified Master Arborist, Kevin Lester, and ISA Certified Arborist, Casey Lester, always enjoy sharing their tree knowledge and helping inspire the next generation to appreciate nature and the outdoors.
