Quality Tree Services in Pittsburgh

We offer tree removal, tree trimming, stump grinding, emergency tree service, and tree debris hauling. You can view all of our services here.

A lot of our work involves mature canopy on small urban lots, especially in the East End. That means careful crown thinning and clearance work on the London planetrees and silver maples that line Squirrel Hill and Highland Park streets, dead ash removal from emerald ash borer damage, and oak work timed around the oak wilt risk window of April through July. Lincoln-Lemington's steep streets and ravines also produce frequent storm cleanup calls.

The City of Pittsburgh requires a permit for any work on a publicly owned tree, which includes most street trees. Permits run through the City Forestry Division and the Shade Tree Commission. For trees on private property, no permit is required for healthy trees, but properties inside the Highland Park Residential Historic District may have additional review considerations. We confirm local rules before the work starts.

Properties near Frick Park, including stretches of Point Breeze and Squirrel Hill, often have mature oaks and beeches with elevated disease pressure. The Parks Conservancy has documented oak wilt in Frick, Highland, and Riverview Parks, and we time any oak tree trimming outside the April through July transmission window. Beech leaf disease is also active across Allegheny County and shows up in older yards near the park ravines.

Neighborhoods like Lincoln-Lemington-Belmar have some of the steepest streets in the city, with eight separate flights of city steps cutting through residential blocks. That terrain limits truck access on many properties and calls for sectional rigging or crane assist on larger removals. Clay-heavy, landslide-prone slopes also mean we stage equipment carefully to avoid soil disturbance.
