Owner-operated. Locally rooted. Built on honesty, hard work, and respect for your property.
Gibson Tree Service isn't a franchise. It isn't a corporation. It's one guy named Caden who decided to do tree service differently.
When you call Gibson Tree Service, you talk to Caden. When the crew shows up, Caden is on site. When the job is done, it's Caden's reputation on the line. That's how he wants it.
Caden grew up in the Miami Valley and has been working in tree care since he was old enough to swing a chainsaw. He's handled everything from small residential cleanups to large-scale emergency storm responses across the region. Over the years, he's built expertise in safe tree removal techniques, structural pruning, stump grinding, and storm damage assessment.
He's earned the trust of homeowners, contractors, and property managers throughout Montgomery, Preble, and Warren counties by showing up, doing quality work, and standing behind it.
Caden saw the same problems over and over: homeowners calling tree companies and getting voicemail. Getting vague quotes with hidden fees. Watching crews rush through jobs and leave a mess. Being told a tree needed to come down when it really didn't.
He started Gibson Tree Service to be the company he'd want to hire. A company where the owner answers the phone, shows up on time, gives honest recommendations, and cleans up like he was never there. A company built on reputation, not advertising budgets.
"If I wouldn't hire a crew to do that work at my own house, I'm not sending them to yours."
Tree work is one of the most dangerous professions in the country. Caden takes that seriously. Every job starts with a safety assessment. Every crew member is trained in proper rigging, cutting, and fall procedures. We use professional-grade equipment, maintain it rigorously, and never cut corners to save time.
When conditions are unsafe — high winds, lightning, compromised structures — we don't do the job. Your safety and our crew's safety come first, always. We carry full liability insurance and workers' compensation for your protection.
We believe in treating every customer the way we'd want to be treated. That means:
There are plenty of tree companies in the Miami Valley. Here's what sets us apart:
You're not getting a subcontracted crew. Caden is on site, overseeing the work, every time.
Our quotes are straightforward. The price we give you is the price you pay — no surprises on invoice day.
We clean up like we were never there. Your yard should look better after we leave, not worse.
If your tree doesn't need to come down, we'll tell you. We'd rather earn your trust than your money.
We return calls within 2 hours during business hours. Emergency? We dispatch immediately.
We live here. Our reputation is built one job at a time, neighbor by neighbor.
Gibson Tree Service is based in West Alexandria, Ohio — right in the heart of the Miami Valley. We serve Germantown, West Alexandria, Englewood, Clayton, Trotwood, Brookville, Lewisburg, Farmersville, Springboro, Miamisburg, Centerville, Dayton, and the surrounding communities.
This isn't just where we work — it's where we live. Our kids go to school here. We shop at the same stores. We see our customers at the gas station. That local connection means we treat every property like it belongs to someone we know — because it does.
Whether you're on a rural lot near Brookville Lake, in a subdivision in Springboro, or in a historic neighborhood in downtown Dayton, we bring the same professional equipment, experienced crew, and honest pricing to every job.
Tree removal in the Dayton area typically ranges from $200 to $1,800, depending on the tree's size, species, condition, and accessibility. Small trees under 30 feet generally cost $200–$500. Medium trees (30–60 ft) run $500–$1,200. Large trees over 60 feet can range from $1,200–$2,500 or more. We provide free, no-obligation estimates so you'll know the exact cost before any work begins.
A dangerous tree should be removed as soon as possible. Warning signs include: a significant lean, large cracks or splits in the trunk, dead or hanging branches, mushrooms or decay at the base, exposed roots, and storm damage. If a tree is within striking distance of your home, power lines, or a high-traffic area, don't wait. Call us for a free risk assessment — we'll tell you honestly whether the tree needs removal or if pruning can address the issue.
Yes. Storm damage cleanup is one of our core services, and we offer 24/7 emergency response for fallen trees and storm debris. We handle trees on homes, vehicles, fences, and power lines. We also work directly with insurance companies to document damage and help streamline your claim. Call us anytime at 937-469-6720 for immediate assistance.
Stump grinding in the Dayton area typically costs $100–$400 per stump, depending on the stump's diameter. Most companies charge approximately $2–$4 per inch of diameter. A small stump (under 12 inches) might cost $100–$150, while a large stump (30+ inches) could run $300–$500. We provide upfront pricing before any grinding begins, and we clean up all wood chips when the job is done.
Stump grinding grinds the visible stump 6–12 inches below grade using a machine with a rotating cutting wheel. The wood chips remain in the ground and decompose naturally. This is the most common and affordable option.
Stump removal (also called extraction) pulls the entire stump and root system out of the ground using heavy equipment. This leaves a larger hole but completely eliminates the root structure. Full removal is typically only necessary for new construction or when roots are causing underground problems.
Yes. We regularly remove trees in tight spaces near homes, fences, sheds, and power lines. We use professional rigging techniques, cranes when needed, and controlled lowering to protect surrounding structures. For trees near power lines, we coordinate with the utility company as needed. Safety is our top priority in these situations — call us for a free assessment of your specific situation.
Absolutely — every time. Complete cleanup is included in every job we do. We haul away all logs, branches, and debris. We rake the work area. We blow off your driveway and walkways. If you want the wood chips from grinding left for your garden beds, we're happy to do that too. Your property should look better after we leave, not worse. That's our standard.
