Yes—we work all year. Most of our residential tree work happens in the spring, summer, and fall, when conditions are ideal for pruning, removals, and yard access. In the winter, when the ground is frozen and the trees are bare, our focus often shifts more toward logging operations. Each season has its advantages, and we tailor our work to make the most of them.

We specialize primarily in residential tree work, especially removals on difficult or sensitive sites. While most of our projects are in backyards and around homes, we occasionally collaborate with loggers to handle a small number of technical trees that require advanced rigging or precision felling. Our favorite jobs are often the ones other crews consider “too hard”—the challenging trees that demand extra skill, care, and creativity.

Unlike many tree companies, we do most of our work by climbing rather than relying on a bucket truck. Climbing allows us to reach trees in tight or sensitive areas and helps minimize our impact on the surrounding areas.

Trees that are in difficult or sensitive locations are our specialty. We climb them and take them down in manageable sections. Using rigging—a system of ropes, pulleys, and friction devices—we safely direct and lower each piece to the ground in a controlled, precise manner, protecting both the property and the people around it. Some highly technical jobs require the use of a crane for removal.

Each tree is unique, so the time required can vary depending on its size, location, and surroundings. Because of that, we can’t give an accurate estimate of how long a job will take without first seeing the tree or trees in person.

We handle wood and debris according to your preference. Options include leaving it where it falls, chipping the brush while leaving firewood (either in log form or cut to your desired lengths), or complete cleanup and removal of as much material as possible. Whatever you choose, we always tidy the work area to the best of our ability.

We generally operate in the central region of Pennsylvania. Given appropriate circumstances further travel is possible.

Tree work is dangerous, even for people who are handy with tools. Falls, chainsaw accidents, and dropped limbs can cause serious injury or worse—and it only takes one mistake. Beyond the safety risks, improper cuts can also damage your property or the tree itself. Arborists are trained, equipped, and experienced to handle these risks safely and efficiently. Hiring a professional protects both you and your property.

When people ask, “How big a saw do you use?” it’s a bit like asking, “How big is your car?”—what really matters is the size of the engine. Our saws range from 2.5 to 6 cubic inches of displacement, with bars (blades) between 14 and 30 inches long. On rare occasions, we’ll use a 36-inch bar. For context, the 6 cubic inch saw produces about 9 horsepower. The smaller saw weighs under 8 pounds, while the largest tips the scales at around 20 pounds with a 28-inch bar. The short answer: we use the saw that’s the right size for the job at hand.

We use a variety of professional-grade saws, primarily Stihl and Husqvarna.
