Tree Removal in Valley City, OH

Tree removal in Valley City, Ohio reaches the unincorporated center of Liverpool Township in northern Medina County, where SR 303 (Center Road) crosses SR 252 (Columbia Road) about 9 miles from Medina (Wikipedia: Valley City). Liverpool Township had 5,750 residents at the 2020 census.

Liverpool Township maintains its roads and clears debris from their right of way through a maintenance department at 6801 School Street. The West Branch of the Rocky River and Plum Creek both run through the community, which matters for trees near the banks.

Requests through this site go to a local tree contractor for tree removal, trimming, stump grinding or storm cleanup.

How do the river and creek affect trees in Valley City?

The West Branch of the Rocky River forms Valley City's eastern edge and Plum Creek runs through the west side, so some lots back onto wooded stream banks. Trees there can lean toward the water, and their roots help hold the bank.

When a streamside tree needs to go, many owners leave the stump to keep the soil where it is. Ask the contractor about cutting low and skipping stump grinding on a bank.

What woods does the Park District protect in Liverpool Township?

Liverpool Meadows Nature Preserve on West Law Road covers 104 acres of restored prairie, wetland and mature forest, with access to the Rocky River at its north end. Zachary A. Weber Riverside Park, a 6.6-acre riverside parcel on Center Road, was donated in memory of a local Buckeye High School graduate.

Trees on Park District land belong to the Park District. If your lot borders either park, confirm the line before any tree removal.

Is Valley City its own city?

Who do I call about a tree down on a Valley City road?

For township roads, call the Liverpool Township maintenance department at 330-483-4747. SR 303 (Center Road) and SR 252 (Columbia Road) are state routes, so trees blocking them go to ODOT at 330-723-0091.

Can a contractor reach a tree on a steep creek bank?

Trees on banks are usually climbed and taken down in pieces, then lowered or pulled up the slope, rather than felled toward the water. A crane is an option when the tree is large and there is a good setup spot nearby.

What ZIP code should Valley City tree requests use?

Valley City and much of Liverpool Township use ZIP code 44280, with area codes 330 and 234. Outlying parts of the township may carry other ZIPs, so include the street address in the request.

Does Liverpool Township have its own tree ordinance?

The township's directory notes that townships do not have the authority to pass laws. Roadside trees fall under Ohio Revised Code 5543.14, which lets township trustees trim or remove trees in the township road right of way.

Who maintains the trees at Mill Stream Park in Valley City?

Mill Stream Park at 1241 Maple Street is a Liverpool Township park, so its trees are the township's. Park questions go to the township's park coordinator rather than a private contractor.

Is Valley City in Northeast Ohio's lake-effect area?

News 5 Cleveland places northern Medina County in the secondary snow belt, with lake-effect snow mainly on north winds. Valley City sits in that northern part of the county, so heavy wet snow on branches is part of winter here.

Can farm fence rows in Liverpool Township be cleared?

Fence rows and overgrown field edges on your own land can be cleared with brush cutting, tree removal and stump grinding. Mark the line first on a boundary row, since cutting a neighbor's tree carries triple damages under Ohio law.
