Tree Service in Dallastown, PA

No. We walk the property, look at the tree and the grade around it, and hand you a written price. Dallastown is a normal run for us, so there is no trip charge for coming out.

Size, access, and slope decide it. A tree on a flat, open lot costs less to take down than one the same size on a steep bank with a fence and a shed below it, because the rigging and the cleanup both take longer. You get an exact number in writing before any work starts.

On your own property, usually not. Street trees planted between the sidewalk and the curb are a different matter, since that strip is typically borough property. Check with Dallastown Borough before cutting one, and we are glad to tell you what we have run into on similar jobs.

Worth a look. Water runs downhill through these yards, and years of soil creep on a bank can slowly tip a tree out of plumb. A tree that has started leaning did not always lean, and it is cheaper to inspect now than to deal with it after it goes over onto a fence or a neighbor's yard.

It is on a clock. Emerald ash borer has killed most untreated ash across York County, and dead ash goes brittle unusually fast. On a Dallastown slope that also means it is more likely to come down toward a lower yard rather than straight onto its own footprint, so sooner is safer and cheaper.

Same day for anything actively dangerous, often within a few hours. Storms hit the whole county at once and the schedule fills by mid-morning, so call early rather than waiting to see if a leaning tree settles on its own.

Usually. Between the crane reaching over a house, smaller machines for gate-width access, and rigging for the drop-and-lower work a sloped yard often needs, tight lots are normal for us here. We check access and grade during the estimate so there are no surprises on the day.

Yes. HOAs, churches, small commercial lots, and municipal properties, for both tree work and winter snow removal. We can set up a contract ahead of the season.

Since not long after Lewis Burns founded the company in 1968. This end of York County has been part of our regular route for decades, and we have handled everything from routine pruning to full storm cleanup on these hillside lots.
