Local Tree Services in Plum

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 wooded acreage and large mature trees on properties along the Allegheny River and the steep slopes feeding Plum Creek and Pucketa Creek. That means dead ash removals, hemlock care in the cooler ravines, oak and beech work on Holiday Park lots, and storm cleanup on properties tucked back along Ross Hollow Road and the river bottoms. Many jobs require crane or rigging because of the slope.

Yes. The older mining-era sections in Renton, Logans Ferry, Barking, and Unity have small lots packed with mature trees that were planted as the patches developed. That tight spacing creates a lot of "too close to the house" hazard work, especially with original silver maples and sycamores now decades old. Removal usually requires careful rigging because the wood needs to come down without hitting the next-door structure.

The Gilpin-Upshur soils across Plum sit on clay-shale that becomes unstable on slopes over 15 percent, and the borough's comprehensive plan specifically flags Little Plum Creek, Humms Run, and the western slopes near the Turnpike as landslide-prone. That terrain limits where heavy equipment can stage and affects how we plan rigging on large tree removal jobs. We avoid soil disturbance on slopes that could shift.

Properties along the Boyce Park boundary inherit the same forest health pressures as the park itself: extensive standing-dead ash from the emerald ash borer outbreak, beech leaf disease which has been confirmed in Allegheny County since 2019, and oak wilt risk in spring and summer. Homes backing into that mature canopy regularly need hazard tree work and follow-up stump grinding after dead trees come out.
