“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 Windsor Farm Ground
Windsor is a small borough surrounded by Windsor Township farmland, and most of the calls we get out here are for trees that grew up with nobody around them. A silver maple or black walnut left alone in the middle of a field builds a wide, heavy, low crown, because it never had to compete for light. That kind of crown catches wind a woods-grown tree never feels, which is why so many of our Windsor jobs start with a tree that looks fine until the day it is not.
The land rolls east from here toward the Susquehanna River hills, and the Kreutz Creek valley cuts through a lot of these properties. Old bank barns and outbuildings tend to sit close to the big trees, so even a wide-open farm can leave us a tight drop zone once we walk the property.
You can request a free estimate any day of the week. We drive out, look at the tree, and give you a written number before anything gets cut.

Open farm ground is the whole story here. A tree that grew up alone in a hedgerow or along a lane never had neighbors pushing it upward, so it puts its energy sideways instead, building a wide, low crown with heavy limbs far out from the trunk. That shape holds a lot of sail area, and Windsor Township has nothing to break the wind before it reaches one of these trees.
Silver maple, black walnut, Osage orange, and ash make up most of the farm-lane and hedgerow plantings out here. The ash have taken the hardest hit. Emerald ash borer has killed most of the untreated ash across York County, and a dead ash goes brittle fast, which makes it dangerous to climb and usually means bringing in a bucket truck or crane instead.
Old bank barns and outbuildings tend to sit close to the biggest trees on these properties, so even a farm that looks wide open from the road can leave us working a tight drop zone once we get out there.

Storm Work Across the Kreutz Creek Valley
Open fields mean wind gets a running start before it reaches a tree line. Summer downbursts and February ice both hit Windsor Township hard, and the same wide-crowned trees that shade a farmhouse yard are the ones most likely to shed a limb or go over completely.
We run our own crane, bucket trucks, and grapple truck, so we are not waiting on a rental to lift a trunk off a lane or a barn roof. We also work with all insurance companies. Call us and call your carrier, because in most cases your policy pays for storm removal, and the photos and itemized estimate we leave you are exactly 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 at your property.
Nobody on our crew works on commission, so nobody has a reason to talk a Windsor farm owner into removing a tree that only needs deadwood cleared. Our climbers and equipment operators are on payroll year-round, not brought in for the season, and we carry full insurance before a saw ever comes off the truck.
Three Generations, One County
Same family, same corner of Pennsylvania, since 1968. Windsor Township has been part of our regular route for most of that time.
Equipment That Fits Farm Properties
Crane, bucket trucks, grapple truck, chippers, and grinders, all ours. Long gravel lanes and tight drop zones next to a bank barn are normal work, not a reason to reschedule.
Where We Work in and Around Windsor
The borough itself, the farm townships around it, and the small villages spread along the valley toward the river hills. If your property sits inside this part of York County, we almost certainly cover you.

Frequently Asked Questions
No. We drive out, look at the tree, and hand you a written price. Windsor is a normal run for us, so there is no trip charge for coming out.
Size and access decide it. A wide-open field tree with clear access on all sides is usually straightforward. A tree crowded against a bank barn or outbuilding, where we have to rig instead of drop, runs higher. You get an exact figure in writing before we start.
On your own farm ground, usually not. Trees along a township road right-of-way or inside the borough limits are a different question, and each municipality has its own rules. Check with your township or the borough, and we can tell you what we have run into on similar jobs.
Open-grown trees build wide, heavy, low crowns because they never had to compete for light with neighbors. That shape catches more wind than a tree that grew up crowded in a woodlot, so field trees and hedgerow trees tend to shed limbs and go over more often in a storm.
Yes, and sooner rather than later. Emerald ash borer has killed most untreated ash across York County, and a dead ash goes brittle faster than almost any other tree we deal with. The longer it stands, the more dangerous it gets to climb, which usually means more expensive equipment to bring it down safely.
Same day for anything actively dangerous. Rural lines out here can take longer to get power restored than in town, so if a tree is on a wire, call us and your utility right away rather than waiting to see if it clears on its own.
Usually, yes. Between the crane, the grapple truck, and smaller machines for narrow lanes, we work around bank barns and outbuildings on a regular basis. We check access and drop zones during the estimate, so there are no surprises on the day of the job.
All three, along with Chanceford Township and North Hopewell Township. This end of York County is a normal part of our route.
The company started in York County in 1968 and has stayed family-run the whole time. Windsor Township and the surrounding farm country have been part of our regular service area for most of that history.
