Worthington is one of our longer drives, so we schedule visits ahead, and your chosen time slot holds. Pick a day and a window, tell us about the tree, and we call to confirm. On the visit we look at the whole tree first, because an old Worthington tree is often better pruned than removed. When it does have to come down, you get one written price for the tree removal in Worthington, cleanup included. Call 614-701-0806 if you would rather talk first.

Tree Removal Work From Our Crew
These are from recent jobs by our crew: the bucket working a large crown, a climber taking a tree apart between houses, and rope rigged to lower each piece. Old trees on established lots come down the slow way, in controlled sections over roofs, walls and plantings that cannot be moved, and the yard is raked clean before we leave.
Tree Removal Across Worthington, OH
Worthington is a city on the north side of Columbus, founded in 1803 by the Scioto Company under James Kilbourne and laid out around its Village Green. It is a city of old houses under old trees. Most of its homes are mid-century: 53 percent were built between 1950 and 1969, according to Census Bureau survey data, and the yard trees planted with them are now big and close to the roof. It is one of our longer drives from Reynoldsburg, so we plan visits ahead. For pruning and the rest of what we do there, see tree service in Worthington, and the service areas page lists the other towns.
Tree Removal Reviews From A.S.H. Customers
A tree removal is done on your property, close to your house, by people you have only just met. Trust is the whole job. What A.S.H. customers write about comes back to the same three things: the crew turned up when it said it would, did the work that was agreed, and left the yard clean. Those are the things to look for in any review before you book tree removal in Worthington, ours included.
Eduardo was fantastic to work with. Quick to schedule and helpful by listening to what my goals and concerns were. I had a smaller project so he was able to squeeze me in the very next day after providing an estimate. Quality work that was reasonably priced.
The work crew knew what I wanted them to do. They showed up on time and started to work, checking with me to make sure that everything was done to my satisfaction. They did a great job with cleanup. Eduardo was a pleasant person and professional with his job.
I had reached out to get a quote after our Black Walnut Tree had some large branches break off in high winds. Ed made some recommendations and talked me through what branches he would remove. His team showed up on time and did a great job! Not only do our trees look great and healthy, but his team did a great job cleaning up the yard after.
Century-Old Trees Around the Village Green
The streets around the Village Green and the old village carry some of the oldest yard trees in the metro. Trees that age have had a century of storms, old pruning cuts and root disturbance from new sidewalks and sewer work, and they show it in decay pockets, deadwood and heavy leaning limbs.
Age alone is not a reason to remove a tree. What matters is how far decay has gone, how the big limbs are attached, and how the roots have been treated. Most of the time the answer is pruning or cabling. When decay has hollowed the trunk or a main fork has split, the tree comes down, and we tell you plainly which you have.
Worthington Tree Lawn Trees Belong to the City
In Worthington, trees growing on the tree lawn are city property, and the city has the right to plant, prune, maintain and remove them. Concerns about a damaged or dying street tree go to the Service and Engineering Department. Through the city's street tree program, the city prunes its tree lawn trees every five years.
So if the tree you are worried about stands between the sidewalk and the street, start with the city. The trees on your side of the sidewalk are yours to decide about, and those are the ones we take down.
Taking Down an Old Tree on an Established Lot
Older Worthington lots often have stone walls, narrow driveways and mature plantings under the tree, all of which a crew has to protect. We plan where the truck parks and how the brush leaves before the first cut. Plantings under the tree get covered or tied back, and anything over a structure is lowered on rope.
An old tree comes apart in controlled sections: deadwood first, so nothing falls on its own, then the crown limb by limb, then the trunk in rounds short enough to handle. Old trees also tend to hide decay behind old pruning wounds, so we check each limb before trusting it with a rope. For the steps, see tree removal.
Storms and Old Wood
Old trees carry long, heavy limbs, and storms find the weak ones. On August 11, 2026, the National Weather Service measured an 82 mph wind gust at John Glenn Columbus International Airport, and the June 29, 2012 derecho brought gusts of 70 to 80 mph across the area. A limb that fails onto a slate or shingle roof is an urgent job.
If a tree is on your house, call 614-701-0806 rather than use the form, and we will give you an honest time from across town. See storm damage tree removal and emergency tree service.
What Tree Removal in Worthington Costs
An old tree over a house, taken down in sections above walls and plantings, costs more than a tree that can drop into open lawn. The price comes from the size, what is underneath, how much rope work it takes, and how much cleanup you want. The price is written before anything starts, and the estimate is free. If you have more than one old tree, we look at them all on one visit. For how pricing works, see what tree removal costs. Nearby, we also do tree removal in Westerville, Dublin and Columbus.
Frequently asked questions
Can you remove the tree in my tree lawn in Worthington?
No. Tree lawn trees in Worthington are city property, and the city handles their pruning and removal. Concerns go to the Service and Engineering Department. We take care of the trees on your side of the sidewalk.
My tree is over 100 years old. Does it need to come down?
Not because of age. What matters is decay, how the big limbs are attached and how the roots have been treated. We look at all three and tell you plainly whether it needs pruning, cabling or removal.
Will you protect the plantings and stone walls under the tree?
Yes. We cover or tie back plantings, keep the truck off anything that would crack, and lower every piece over a wall or structure on rope.
Do you come as far as Worthington?
Yes. It is one of our longer drives from Reynoldsburg, so we schedule Worthington visits ahead, and your chosen time slot holds.
Is stump grinding included?
It is quoted as a separate line at the same visit. See stump grinding.
Do you work across all of Worthington?
Yes, from the old village out to the mid-century neighborhoods across the Worthington City School District.
