Tree Service in Dillsburg, PA

“Great from start to completion. We had a 40-foot pine tree that had died and was a hazard — it had to come down quickly. They were out in a couple of days and gave the best quote of the three we got.”
Tree Work Built for Dillsburg Properties
Dillsburg is up at the far northern end of the county from us, and the work up there looks different from the work in town. Lots run bigger, driveways run longer, and the trees have had room to get old. A white oak on two acres in Carroll Township can carry more wood than four city maples put together.
That size is the whole job. Big trees need real rigging, real reach, and a crew that has done it before, which is why we bring our own crane and grapple truck instead of dropping limbs and hoping. It is also why we push tree trimming and pruning so hard here. Get deadwood out of an old oak on a schedule and you usually never need the removal.
Estimates are free and we drive out to look at the tree. You get a written price and an honest answer about whether it has to come down.

The South Mountain foothills put oak and hickory on most of these properties, and oak is what spongy moth goes after. A bad year strips the canopy by June. One defoliation an otherwise healthy oak survives. Three years running is usually what kills it, and by then we are having a removal conversation instead of a treatment conversation.
Down along the Yellow Breeches the mix flips to silver maple and sycamore in ground that stays wet. Wet ground means a shallow root plate, and a shallow root plate is how a big tree goes over in wind that should not have bothered it.
The other Dillsburg problem is simply age and distance. Trees out on acreage go unlooked-at for years, deadwood builds up in the crown, and nobody notices until a limb is on the roof of the shed.

Storm and Ice Work Around Dillsburg
Elevation changes things. Dillsburg picks up ice on nights when York gets cold rain, and ice on an oak crown is what brings whole limbs down across driveways and service drops. Rural lines also take longer to get restored, so a tree on the wire up here can mean days rather than hours.
We run our own crane, bucket trucks, and grapple truck, which matters when a driveway is a quarter mile long and there is no room to turn a rental around. We also work with all insurance companies. Call us and call your carrier, because your policy usually covers storm removal, and the photos and itemized estimate we leave with you are what the adjuster asks for.
Storm & Emergency ServicesAbout Us: The Same Family Since 1968
Lewis Burns started this company in York County in 1968 with a truck and a saw. The name still belongs to the family, and the people who answer the phone are the people who show up in your driveway.
Nobody here works on commission, so nobody has a reason to talk a Dillsburg homeowner into removing an oak that only needs deadwood taken out. Our climbers and operators are on our payroll year-round rather than pulled in for the season, and we are fully insured before a saw comes off the truck.
Three Generations, One County
Same family, same corner of Pennsylvania, since 1968. Plenty of our Dillsburg work is at houses where we took a tree down for the previous owner.
Equipment That Fits Rural Lots
Crane, bucket trucks, grapple truck, chippers, and grinders, all ours. Long drives and soft ground are normal work, not a reason to reschedule.

Frequently Asked Questions
No. We drive up, look at the tree, and hand you a written price. Dillsburg is a normal run for us, so there is no trip charge for coming out.
Size and access decide it. Dillsburg trees tend to be bigger than what we take down in town, which raises the number, but the open lots and long driveways usually make access easier, which brings it back down. You get an exact figure in writing before we start.
On your own property in Carroll Township and the surrounding townships, usually not. Trees in the borough right-of-way are a different question and Dillsburg Borough has its own rules. Check with your municipality, and we are glad to tell you what we have run into on similar jobs.
That is almost certainly spongy moth, and it runs heavy along the South Mountain foothills. One year of defoliation a healthy oak shrugs off. Three years in a row usually kills it. If it is happening on your property, get on a treatment schedule before the next spring rather than after.
Same day for anything actively dangerous. Dillsburg is the far end of our range, so it is a longer run than most, but the real holdup is the queue rather than the drive. Storms hit the whole county at once and the schedule fills by mid-morning, so call early.
Yes, and we check it during the estimate. Between the crane, the grapple truck, and smaller machines for soft or narrow ground, rural access is routine for us. If a drive is too soft to hold a loaded truck we tell you at the estimate, not on the day.
All three, along with Rossville, Range End, and the townships in between. This whole northern end of York County is inside our normal service area.
Yes. Churches, HOAs, township properties, and commercial lots along the Route 15 corridor, for tree work and for winter snow removal. Snow contracts get set before the season starts.
Decades. The company started in York County in 1968 and has been family-run the whole time, and the northern townships have been part of our regular route for most of that.
