Tree Services We Provide in Delaware County, PA
Tree Removal
Pro Tree Services handles tree removal for residential and commercial properties, including challenging removals near obstacles. We evaluate each tree and its surroundings to determine an appropriate removal strategy.
Tree Trimming
Proper tree trimming helps maintain healthy growth, improve structural balance, and provide clearance around buildings and walkways. Delaware County often has mature trees growing near homes or neighboring properties, making careful pruning particularly important.
24/7 Emergency Tree Service
Severe storms cause trees and large branches to fail unexpectedly. When a tree falls on your home, prompt professional assistance is essential. Pro Tree Services offers 24/7 emergency tree service throughout Delaware County.
Stump Grinding
Leftover stumps are a nuisance in an otherwise well-maintained yard, interfering with landscaping and creating a tripping hazard. Pro Tree Services provides stump grinding to help you reclaim usable outdoor space.
Plant Health Care
Our plant health care services help support long-term tree health through services such as soil testing, fertilization, pest and disease management, root collar excavation, and tree management planning.
Certified Arborist Services
Pro Tree Services has Certified Arborists on staff who can assess tree health, evaluate potential risks, and recommend appropriate care, monitoring, or removal.
Common Tree Problems in Delaware County
Tree care needs can vary throughout Delaware County. Older neighborhoods have large trees growing close to homes and sidewalks, while properties in more wooded communities may require ongoing maintenance along driveways and property boundaries.
Common tree concerns include:
- Mature limbs extending over roofs, sidewalks, and neighboring properties
- Trees damaged by strong winds, heavy rainfall, or saturated soil
- Dead branches, declining canopies, and trees showing signs of disease
- Roots affecting pavement, retaining walls, and landscaped areas
- Trees stressed by construction, soil compaction, or drainage changes
- Overgrown branches interfering with roads, walkways, and utility lines
- Insect infestations and other problems affecting tree health
Addressing these concerns early may help prevent larger problems.
Tree Care for Delaware County Homes and Businesses
Working around established landscapes requires careful planning. Delaware County properties often have limited access, mature gardens, fences, outdoor living spaces, sidewalks, and nearby buildings that must be considered before tree work begins.
Pro Tree Services approaches each project with attention to safety, equipment access, property protection, and cleanup. Our team works with homeowners and commercial property owners to address tree concerns while minimizing unnecessary disruption to surrounding areas.
What Makes Tree Care in Delco Different
Delaware County fits 49 municipalities into 184 square miles, making it one of the most densely populated counties in Pennsylvania. Large, mature trees often stand just a few feet from homes, driveways, sidewalks, and overhead lines, from the close-set streets of Drexel Hill and Havertown to the wooded lots around Media and Chadds Ford.
Nor’easters and Summer Storms
Delco is often hit hard when storms move through the Philadelphia region. In March 2018, a nor’easter knocked out power to roughly a third of the county and led officials to declare a disaster emergency. In September 2026, another nor’easter brought large trees down on homes and power lines in Morton and Drexel Hill. Regular pruning and knowing the warning signs of a failing tree reduce that risk before storm season, and our 24/7 emergency tree service crews are on call when trees come down.
Emerald Ash Borer
The emerald ash borer is now found in nearly every Pennsylvania county and typically kills an ash tree within three to five years of infestation. At Tyler Arboretum in Middletown Township, close to 900 hazardous ash trees had to be addressed, closing miles of trails. Dead ash becomes brittle quickly and can fail without warning. Healthy ash trees can often be protected with preventive emerald ash borer treatments, while declining trees should be evaluated for hazardous tree removal.
Spotted Lanternfly
All of Delaware County has been under Pennsylvania’s spotted lanternfly quarantine since 2017. The pest’s favorite host is tree of heaven (Ailanthus), but it also feeds on landscape trees, and Penn State Extension lists red and silver maples among its preferred fall hosts. Our spotted lanternfly control services include tree banding and targeted treatments for infested trees.
Local Tree Rules
Many Delco municipalities regulate tree work. Haverford Township requires a permit to remove or prune public shade trees along streets, and Radnor Township’s shade tree ordinance can require replacement trees when larger trees are removed. Check with your township or borough before removing a tree near the street.
