Tree Removal in Allentown, PA
Taking down a tree is rarely as simple as cutting at the base, especially on Allentown's tighter city lots where a tree may stand a few feet from a house, a garage and the neighbor's fence. A good tree service plans every cut.
Request a tree serviceWhen removal makes sense
Dead trees, trees with major trunk decay or cracks, trees leaning toward the house after a storm and ash trees killed by pests are common reasons. Healthy trees in the wrong place sometimes come out too.
Sectional removal
Where there's no room to drop a tree whole, climbers or a bucket truck take it down in pieces, lowering each section with ropes.
Cranes
Very large trees over houses may need a crane to lift sections out safely.
Near power lines
Only qualified line-clearance crews should work near lines. Call the utility for trees touching service lines.
Clean-up
Ask whether the price includes hauling wood and brush, chipping and raking.
Firewood
Many services will cut wood into rounds and leave it for you.
Stumps
Stump grinding is often a separate line on the quote; see stump grinding.
Permits and shade trees
Some boroughs and the city have rules for trees between the sidewalk and street. Check before removing one.
