A request through this site reaches a local tree contractor for tree removal, trimming, stump grinding or storm cleanup anywhere in Montville.

How does Montville trim trees along its roads?

Township crews trim roadside trees and brush as routine road work. In the right of way they lift hardwoods 6 to 8 feet off the ground and ornamental trees 3 to 4 feet, cut back at least a foot behind the curb, and take out dead, diseased, crossing or poorly attached branches.

Those are the township's cuts on its own right of way. The rest of a tree, or a tree set back in your yard, is yours to prune or remove.

How big is Montville's road network?

Of about 81 miles of road in Montville, the township maintains about 54, Medina County 12 and the state 15. So a fallen tree on your street could be the township's, the county's or ODOT's to clear from the pavement, depending on the road. Trees on private lots belong to the owner either way.

Austin Badger Park on River Styx Road, with 7.5 miles of trails on a 252-acre property, is one of the township's parks.

The Cobblestone Park subdivision lies east of the 47-acre township park beside Ralph E. Waite Elementary. Yards that back onto the park should confirm the line before any edge tree comes down.

Whitetail Park, with its large lake, sits inside the Whitetail Crossing subdivision off Poe Road at 4224 Deer Run Drive. Trees in the park are the township's; trees on the surrounding lots are private.

Wooster Pike

About Montville Township, Ohio

General Champion bought the land in 1818 and named it for his former home in Vermont, and the township was established in 1820 (Wikipedia). It covers 21 square miles, part of the city of Medina lies in its northwest corner, and the only other Montville Township in Ohio is in Geauga County.

The township bought the 252-acre Austin Badger Park property, the former Blue Heron Golf Course, in 2015 with a Green Ohio grant; it now has 19 bridges and 7.5 miles of concrete trails. Police, fire and other safety services work from the Ron F. Bischof Safety Services building, opened in 2011.

Weather and climate in Montville Township

Montville lies south of State Route 18, and the County Engineer says areas north of SR 18 usually see more snow. The NOAA station to the south, Akron-Canton, averages 47.2 inches a season under the 1991 to 2020 normals, and January is the coldest month (Wikipedia: Akron climate; NWS Cleveland).

Lighter snowfall doesn't spare the trees. The ISA notes that strong winds uproot trees most easily once heavy rain or melting snow has softened the ground.

Tree Removal questions from Montville Township property owners

Can you plant a fruit tree in a Montville tree lawn?
Montville removed fruit trees from its approved tree lawn list in its 2015 revision. The current list is Amur maple, birch, Autumn Blaze and Autumn Flame maple, red oak, white oak and yellow poplar; call the Service Department at 330-725-0273 before planting.
Who removes a fallen tree on a Montville road?
Call the Montville Service Department at 330-725-0273 for township roads. County roads go to the Medina County Highway Department and state routes such as SR 18, SR 3 and SR 162 to ODOT. A tree that falls into your yard is yours to remove.
Does Montville Township pick up brush?
The township's service FAQ covers roadside trimming but not curbside brush pickup. The county Solid Waste District facility on Lake Road in Seville takes cut branches and trunks, or the tree contractor can chip and haul everything.
Which ZIP code covers Montville Township tree requests?
Montville Township addresses use 44256, the Medina ZIP code, so include the street name to separate township properties from city ones. Phone numbers in the township use area codes 330 and 234.
How far back from the curb does Montville cut roadside trees?
Township crews cut right-of-way trees back at least one foot behind the back of the curb, and farther when a sight line needs it. Hardwoods are lifted 6 to 8 feet off the ground and ornamental trees 3 to 4 feet.
Can I plant a tree right at the road edge in Montville Township?
The township says the road right of way must stay free of obstructions. Call the Service Department at 330-725-0273 for the correct planting distance from the road edge before setting any tree, and choose from the approved tree lawn list.
Does Montville Township trim trees along private subdivision roads?
Your Ohio News reported that Montville developers can choose public or private roads, and that private roads shift maintenance to associations and property owners. Trees along a private road are therefore generally the association's to manage, not the township crew's.
Can neighbors remove trees along the Austin Badger Park trails?
Austin Badger Park is township property, so its trees are the township's to manage. If your yard backs onto the park, find the property line before any removal near the edge; Ohio law sets triple damages for recklessly cutting another owner's tree.
Which large trees does Montville approve for tree lawns?
For spots where a tree can top 40 feet, Montville's list allows Autumn Blaze maple, Autumn Flame maple, red oak, white oak and yellow poplar. Birch is listed for 15 to 30 feet and Amur maple for smaller spaces.
Can businesses on Wooster Pike in Montville request tree work?
Business lots along Wooster Pike, such as those near Champion Creek and the Shoppes at River Styx on Buehler's Drive, can request removal, pruning or stump grinding. ODOT handles trees inside the SR 3 right of way.
