Tree Removal & Tree Service in Lancaster, PA. Every Tree Down Clean.

Tree removal costs in Lancaster County depend heavily on tree size, species, location, and access. A small tree (under 30 feet) typically runs $300–$750. A medium tree (30–60 feet) generally costs $800–$1,800. Large trees over 60 feet or those near structures typically run $1,800–$4,500+. Stump grinding is usually priced separately at $150–$400. We give written fixed-price quotes so there are no surprises.

Permit requirements vary by municipality within Lancaster County. The City of Lancaster has a street tree ordinance that may require permits for trees in the right-of-way. Most residential private property tree removals in surrounding townships do not require permits, but we check local ordinances for every job. We handle this research as part of our assessment — you don’t have to navigate it yourself.

All branches and brush are chipped on-site and hauled away. Large trunk sections can be left as firewood if you want them, or we haul those as well. We discuss your preference before starting the job. If you want the wood split and stacked, we can arrange that for an additional fee. The default is full haul-away — your yard is completely clear when we leave.

Signs that typically indicate removal over trimming: significant structural defects (trunk cavities, major cracks), dead sections constituting more than 50% of the canopy, root system damage compromising stability, disease that has spread through the tree’s vascular system, or location where failure would cause property or personal harm. Our ISA-certified arborists assess every tree honestly — if trimming is the right call, we’ll tell you that rather than recommend unnecessary removal.
