cybe Posted September 12, 2014 Report Share Posted September 12, 2014 I've got this massive tree on the easement / island in front of (and over) my house - it rains debris and is generally screwing up my property, the street, sidewalk and cars. Any tips on having the city take care of it / remove it? I submitted a request on 311.columbus.gov, but last time they just sent AEP to make the tree more lopsided than it was before. http://i.imgur.com/5KzJHpb.png This branch in particular hangs over my garage / cars etc. (Worse than it looks.)

ForeverMaker Posted September 12, 2014 Report Share Posted September 12, 2014 when you submit a 311 request you get an city agent assigned to the case. you can contact them directly and discuss. call the 311 # with your case ID and they will tell you who is on it.

TTQ B4U Posted September 12, 2014 Report Share Posted September 12, 2014 Call Antwon. He'll take it down. I'm not going to fuck with the city on one of my tree lawn trees, I'm just going to have him take it down and grind the stump next spring.

Easy to climb and just start cutting branches off. My dad and I took 7 down from our yard back in the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ImUrOBGYN Posted September 14, 2014 Report Share Posted September 14, 2014 (edited) That's a big, beautiful tree. Would be a shame to remove it. Especially, given Ohio's history. For a tree to even be that big/old here, it's almost shocking. Edited September 16, 2014 by ImUrOBGYN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GSXRAntwon Posted September 15, 2014 Report Share Posted September 15, 2014 Thanks Anthony, I don't do large trees due to insurance regulations. Technicallyyyyy I'm not supposed to do any trees, but I will take care of moderate ones. I've looked at that tree posted above for Cybe, and without a bucket it's too dangerous. Call the city, then call a tree expert if they don't help. My buddy Scott @ ScottScapes Tree Service is great. Tim I'll still do yours tho, that ones easy.

But this one, though you can't tell in the photos, is a menace. From above, it's kind of "P" shaped - AEP chops half of it off regularly, and the leg of the P is this giant troll branch that troll squirrels use to bomb my cars/house/child with acorns from 30 feet. I've got what'd pass for hail damage! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cybe Posted September 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2014 I did have our resident CR arborist come out, and he referred me to a larger outfit. They wanted something like five grand to take a few branches. They really are big and tricky, so I understand - but I'm not willing to fork that out to only partially address the real problem.
