Frequently Asked Questions

How quickly can you respond to storm damage in Scranton?

We respond 24/7 for emergencies. Most calls get same-day or next-day service, depending on damage scope and crew availability in your neighborhood.

Do I need a permit for tree removal in Scranton?

Scranton has historic district rules that may require permits for significant tree work. We check local ordinances and handle applications, so you don't have to.

How do I know if a tree is hazardous?

Signs include large dead branches, severe lean, exposed roots, trunk splits, touching power lines, and rapid decline. Call for a free assessment if you're unsure.

What happens to the wood and branches after removal?

We chip all debris and recycle it into mulch or biomass. Nothing goes to the landfill. You can request mulch delivery if you'd like it back for your landscape.

Can diseased trees be saved, or do they always need removal?

Early detection helps. Many diseases like fungal infections respond to targeted treatment and care. Our arborists assess each tree and recommend preservation or removal based on condition and risk.

How often should I have my trees professionally inspected?

Mature trees benefit from inspection every 3-5 years. After storms or if you notice changes, schedule sooner. Young trees often need annual shaping and monitoring.
