Strong trees
We specialize in structural pruning — for storm-resilience, safety, and long-term health.
Safe & insured
Experienced climbers, best practices, and liability insurance on every project.

Kind words
Cleveland homeowners trust Hemlock
Reid and his team were very knowledgeable and professional. They knew exactly when and where to cut on our 100+ year-old red oak so we can enjoy it for many more years without damaging it. Very clean, and they left the yard in great shape. If you want a quality arborist at a reasonable price, I highly recommend Hemlock!
Hemlock did a great job pruning a large tree in our yard. Reid was very responsive and hands-on, balancing our trimming needs with the tree's health. Reasonably priced and thorough cleanup — and they managed a tight space between houses and utility lines. We'll definitely use their services again!
Would rate 6 stars if I could. Reid loves plants and knows his craft. He went tree to tree with recommendations — pruning, training, or just letting be — dropping gems in plain language. His knowledge is matched by a surgeon's precision, giving each tree a longer, healthier life.
