“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.”
Felton Is Where Our Yard Is
This is home. Our shop and equipment yard sit on Main Street in Felton, so the crane, the bucket trucks, the grapple truck, and the chippers all start and end the day here. For a Felton job that means no drive time to price in and the shortest wait we can offer anybody.
Felton is small, and the woods around it are not. Head out from the borough in almost any direction and the yard runs straight into mature oak, hickory, and tulip poplar, with hemlock holding on in the shaded ravines that drop toward Muddy Creek. Out here the tree line is the property line, not a decoration at the edge of the lawn.
Woods-grown trees behave differently than a tree that grew up alone in an open yard. They come up tall and narrow, chasing light, with the live canopy stacked way up top and long bare trunks underneath. When a limb up there dies, it does not always fall clean. It can hang up in a neighboring crown and sit there through a dozen ordinary days before the wrong gust brings it down on whoever is underneath.
You can request a free estimate any day of the week. We come out, look at the tree and the ground around it, and give you a written number before anything gets cut.

Most of the trees we work on around Felton did not grow up alone. They grew up shoulder to shoulder in a stand of oak, hickory, and tulip poplar, competing for light, which pushes them tall and narrow with the canopy held way up high. That shape has a downside. Dead limbs shed from real height, and a hanger does not always land where it broke. It gets caught in a neighboring crown and stays there, sometimes for a long time, until wind finally shakes it loose.
Emerald ash borer has already killed most of the untreated ash trees across York County, and the ones still standing around Felton are no exception. Dead ash goes brittle fast. Wood that would bend goes stiff and breaks short, which makes it a bad tree for anyone without the right gear to be anywhere near, let alone climb.
Access is the other constant out here. A lot of this ground drops into steep ravines running down toward the creek, and some of that work is rigging and hauling logs out by hand because nothing on wheels can get to it.

Storm Response in Felton
Storms move through the same way everywhere in the county, but Felton feels the aftermath longer. Long private lanes and rural power lines mean a downed tree on the line here can mean a multi-day outage instead of a few hours in town. Add a steep, wooded lot to that and a homeowner can be looking at a hazard nobody can safely reach on their own.
That is what our emergency tree service crews are built for. We run our own bucket trucks, a grapple truck, and the rigging gear that ravine terrain calls for, and we work with all insurance companies. Call us and call your carrier, since your policy usually covers storm removal and the itemized estimate we leave behind is what most adjusters ask 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 on your property.
Nobody here works on commission, so nobody has a reason to talk a Felton homeowner into a full removal when the tree only needs deadwood taken out of the crown. Our climbers and operators are on payroll year-round, not brought on for the season, and we carry full insurance before a saw ever comes off the truck.

Equipment for Woodland Access
Bucket trucks, a grapple truck, chippers, and grinders, all ours, plus the rigging gear a steep ravine calls for when a truck cannot get close.

Frequently Asked Questions
No. We drive out, look at the tree and the ground around it, and hand you a written price. There is no trip charge for coming out to Felton.
It depends on the size of the tree and how hard it is to reach. A tall woods-grown tree on flat, open ground is usually more straightforward than a smaller tree hung up on a steep ravine where we have to rig it down by hand. You get an exact number in writing before we start.
On your own property in the surrounding townships, usually not. Rules can differ inside the borough itself or on land close to a public right-of-way, so check with your municipality. We can tell you what we have run into on similar jobs nearby.
That is common in woods-grown stands like the ones around Felton. Trees packed close together grow tall and narrow, and when a dead limb breaks loose from the high canopy it can land in a neighboring crown instead of the ground and sit there until wind finally shakes it free. It is one of the more dangerous things we deal with, since it is not always obvious from the ground.
Emerald ash borer has killed most of the untreated ash across York County, and Felton is no exception. Once an ash starts dying the wood goes brittle fast, which makes it unsafe to climb. If you have standing dead ash, treat it as a removal job and do not wait.
Faster than anywhere else we serve, because the trucks are already here. Our yard is in Felton, so there is no drive across the county to start the day. Same day for anything actively dangerous. Storms still hit the whole county at once and the schedule fills by mid-morning, so call early.
Yes. A lot of this ground drops steeply toward the creek, and some of that work has to be rigged and hauled out by hand because nothing on wheels can get to it. We check access during the estimate and tell you upfront if a job needs the extra gear.
Yes, along with Craley, Delta, and the townships in between. This whole stretch of southern York County is inside our regular service area.
The company started in York County in 1968 and has stayed family-run the whole time. Felton is where the yard is now, so this is not a town we drive out to. It is the one we drive out from.
