STM Tree and Crane
Brunswick, OH

We're based in Brunswick, Ohio and serve all of Medina County, southern Cuyahoga County, eastern Lorain County, and western Summit County. That includes Brunswick, Medina, Strongsville, Hinckley, Valley City, North Royalton, Broadview Heights, Brecksville, Columbia Station, Berea, Middleburg Heights, Olmsted Falls, Wadsworth, Seville, Litchfield, Granger Township, Lodi, and the surrounding communities. If you're not sure whether you're in our service area, call us at (440) 862-0136 — if we can't get to you, we'll point you toward someone who can.

Most residential tree removals in the Brunswick and Medina area fall somewhere between a few hundred dollars for a small, easily accessible tree and several thousand for a large hardwood growing tight against a house or over power lines. Price depends on four things: the height and diameter of the tree, how close it is to structures, whether the crew can get equipment to it, and whether you want the stump ground out and the wood hauled away. There's no honest way to quote a tree over the phone, which is why we come out and look at it for free before you commit to anything.

Yes — we run 24/7 emergency tree service across Brunswick, Medina, Strongsville, and the surrounding Northeast Ohio communities, including same-day response for trees down on homes, vehicles, driveways, and power lines. Northeast Ohio storms don't wait for business hours, and neither do we. If a tree is on your house right now, call (440) 862-0136 rather than filling out a form.

If a tree falls on a covered structure — your house, garage, fence, or shed — most Ohio homeowners policies will cover the removal and the repairs, usually minus your deductible. A healthy tree that simply falls in the open yard is often not covered. We do a large amount of insurance claim work and can document the damage, provide the photos and written estimate your adjuster needs, and coordinate directly with your insurance company so you're not stuck managing it during an already bad week.

A crane is the right call when a tree can't be safely climbed or dropped — a dead or rotted trunk that won't hold a climber, a tree leaning over a roof or pool, one wedged between two houses, or anything hanging over power lines. Instead of cutting the tree down in pieces and letting them fall, we pick each section up and set it down where we want it. On tight Brunswick and Strongsville lots this is usually both the safer option and the cheaper one, because it eliminates the risk of damaging the very thing you're trying to protect — and it's far easier on your lawn than dragging brush across it.

Yes — we carry full liability insurance and workers' compensation coverage, and we're happy to send a certificate of insurance before we start. This matters more than most homeowners realize: if an uninsured crew damages your home or someone gets hurt in your yard, that can land on your homeowners policy. We've been operating in Brunswick since 2001 and hold an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau. Always ask any tree company for proof of insurance before they climb.

Yes. Stump grinding and full cleanup are available on every job, and we'll tell you upfront what's included so there are no surprises. We grind stumps several inches below grade so the area can be seeded or sodded, rake the site, and haul away the brush and wood. If you'd rather keep the logs for firewood, just say so and we'll cut them to length and stack them for you.

We do — for builders, developers, and homeowners across Medina and Lorain counties. That covers everything from clearing a building pad and driveway path on a new construction lot, to opening up an overgrown back acre, to brush and undergrowth removal along fence lines and property boundaries. If you're preparing a lot in Brunswick, Hinckley, Valley City, or Columbia Station, we can walk it with you and give you a written scope before excavation starts.

Watch for a few warning signs: mushrooms or fungus growing at the base, large dead limbs overhead, deep vertical cracks in the trunk, hollow or soft spots, a sudden lean, or soil lifting on one side of the root plate. Trees near driveways, play sets, and roof lines deserve a closer look. Not every problem tree needs removal — sometimes proper pruning buys years — and the best time for most trimming in Ohio is late winter, when the trees are dormant and we can see the structure clearly. If you're unsure, we'll look at it and give you a straight answer, including when the answer is "leave it alone."

Call or text (440) 862-0136, or send us a message here on Facebook with a couple of photos of the tree. We'll schedule a time to come out, walk the property with you, and leave you with a written estimate — no charge and no pressure. For emergencies in Brunswick, Medina, Strongsville, and the surrounding area, call us directly for the fastest response.
