Tree Removal in Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania

After removal, we typically cut the tree into manageable logs and haul it away unless you request otherwise. Some clients choose to keep the wood for firewood or mulch. Just let us know in advance. We also offer optional wood splitting and stacking services. Our goal is to handle the debris in the way that best suits your property and preferences—always leaving the area clean and tidy.

Tree removal costs vary depending on size, location, complexity, and condition of the tree. Taller or wider trees with extensive branches require more labor and may need specialized equipment. Proximity to structures or power lines increases complexity. A dead, decaying, or storm-damaged tree might be more hazardous and urgent, requiring higher safety protocols. At Backwoods Tree Service, we assess all these aspects during our free estimate process to provide an accurate, transparent price with no hidden fees.

Not when done professionally. We use techniques like sectional dismantling, lowering limbs with ropes, and laying protective mats to minimize lawn damage. Our goal is always to leave your yard in better shape than we found it. If heavy equipment is needed, we discuss potential impact beforehand and use tools like cranes or track machines designed to reduce pressure on the ground. Backwoods Tree Service prioritizes a clean, respectful jobsite with minimal disruption.

It can be hard for untrained eyes to tell the difference. Signs of a dead tree include brittle branches that snap easily, peeling bark, fungal growth at the base, and no leaf buds during growing seasons. Dormant trees may appear bare but will still show signs of life under the bark or through root activity. Our arborists perform detailed inspections to determine if a tree can be saved or poses a risk and needs removal.

Yes, this is one of our specialties. Trees near structures or utility lines require expert precision. We use rigging systems, bucket trucks, or cranes when necessary to control each cut. Our crew is trained in tight-space removals and follows strict safety procedures. We also coordinate with utility companies when needed to ensure safe clearance. Whether it’s leaning toward your home or growing through power lines, Backwoods Tree Service can handle it.

Tree removal doesn’t automatically include stump grinding, but we highly recommend it. Stumps can be eyesores, trip hazards, and attract pests like termites. We offer professional stump grinding services to grind the base below ground level and restore the look of your landscape. Let us know if you want stump removal included in your quote, and we’ll handle it seamlessly.

In some cases, yes. Trees often grow in symbiosis—providing shade, root protection, and wind resistance for each other. Removing a large tree can expose others to more sunlight, wind stress, or root disruption. However, if a tree is diseased or decaying, removing it can protect surrounding trees. We carefully assess the impact of removal and recommend solutions like strategic pruning or mulching to help neighboring trees adjust.

Most residential tree removals are completed in one day, but it depends on size, location, and complexity. Smaller trees can take a few hours, while large or hazardous removals near buildings or wires may span a full day or more. We provide an estimated timeframe upfront and work efficiently without sacrificing safety or cleanliness. Our crew is punctual and communicates clearly, so you’re never left guessing about progress.
