Tree Service in Allentown, PA - Expert Care for Lehigh Valley's Largest City

Tree removal pricing in Allentown typically ranges from $300 for small ornamental trees up to $3,500+ for large hazardous hardwoods requiring crane work or tight-access rigging in row-home neighborhoods. Cost depends on tree size, proximity to structures and PPL lines, access limitations, and whether stump grinding is included. We provide free written estimates - usually same-day - so you know exactly what the job costs before any work begins. No deposits, no surprise fees.

Allentown has an active Shade Tree Commission that oversees the removal or pruning of trees in the public right-of-way, including sidewalk and street trees. For trees entirely on private property, a permit is generally not required, but if the tree sits near the sidewalk, curb line, or a shared right-of-way, you should confirm with the city first. We're familiar with these regulations and will let you know during the free estimate if a Commission notification applies to your specific situation.

This is one of the most common situations we handle in Allentown's South Side, Center City, and Old Allentown Historic District neighborhoods. When there's two feet or less between structures, we use sectional climb-and-cut techniques - no heavy ground equipment required. Our crew dismantles the tree from the top down, lowering sections with ropes and rigging to protect fences, siding, pavers, and neighboring property. We've completed dozens of tight-access removals across Allentown's row-home blocks.

PPL Electric serves most of Allentown, and their overhead distribution lines run through many residential neighborhoods - often directly through or beside mature trees. PPL handles trimming and removal of trees that directly contact energized lines; that work requires their crews. However, we regularly remove trees adjacent to utility lines safely, coordinate timing with PPL when needed, and handle the clearing and cleanup once conductors are clear. We know which situations require a PPL call first and we'll walk you through the process.

Yes - Emerald Ash Borer has devastated ash trees throughout Allentown and the Lehigh Valley over the last decade, and dead or dying ash are among the most common removals we do in this area. EAB-killed ash become brittle quickly, which makes them dangerous to climb and unpredictable to fell, so they need to be removed by a crew experienced with compromised wood. We handle EAB ash removals across Allentown, Bethlehem, Easton, Whitehall, and Macungie - including full cleanup and stump grinding.

Yes - we work regularly in Old Allentown Historic District and other older Allentown neighborhoods where historic preservation considerations apply. Depending on the tree's location and whether it's in the public right-of-way, Historic District regulations or Shade Tree Commission approval may be required before removal. We'll flag this during the free estimate and help you understand what permits or notifications apply before any work begins.
