Frequently Asked Questions About Tree Services

Expert answers to your tree care questions

What tree services does Elite Tree Service offer in Pennsylvania?

Elite Tree Service offers comprehensive tree care throughout Pennsylvania, including professional tree removal, tree trimming and pruning, debris hauling, emergency tree services, land clearing, stump grinding, tree health assessments, and seasonal maintenance programs. Our certified arborists use industry-best practices to ensure the health of your trees and safety of your property.

How much does tree removal cost in Pennsylvania?

Tree removal costs in Pennsylvania typically range from $500 to $2,500 depending on several factors: the tree's size, location, condition, and accessibility. Large trees over 80 feet tall or trees near structures require more specialized equipment and safety measures, increasing costs. Additional services like stump removal or debris hauling may affect the final price. Elite Tree Service provides free on-site estimates to give you an accurate quote based on your specific situation.

When is the best time to trim trees in Pennsylvania?

The ideal time for tree trimming in Pennsylvania is during the dormant season, typically late fall to early spring (November through March). Trimming during dormancy reduces stress on trees, minimizes sap loss, and decreases the risk of pest infestation or disease. However, hazardous or damaged limbs should be removed immediately regardless of season to prevent property damage or injury. Different tree species may have specific timing requirements, so consulting with Elite Tree Service's professionals ensures optimal trimming schedules for your particular trees.

How do I know if a tree needs to be removed?

Signs that a tree may need removal include: significant leaning (especially if recent), large dead or hanging branches, visible cracks or splits in the trunk, mushrooms growing at the base (indicating root decay), cavities in the trunk, extensive storm damage, roots lifting or damaged, and multiple major dead branches. If your tree shows signs of disease, has construction damage, or is interfering with structures, it might be a candidate for removal. Elite Tree Service offers professional assessments to determine if removal is necessary or if the tree can be saved through proper care.

What should I do if a storm damages my trees?

After a storm damages your trees: First, ensure everyone's safety by staying away from downed power lines and unstable trees. For immediate hazards, contact Elite Tree Service's 24/7 emergency line at (814) 762-2063. Document damage with photos for insurance purposes before cleanup begins. Don't attempt to remove large limbs or damaged trees yourself—this requires professional equipment and training. Our team will assess which trees can be saved with proper pruning and which require complete removal, then safely clean up debris while minimizing additional property damage.
