How to Choose a tree service in Philadelphia
- Confirm they carry liability insurance AND workers' compensation — ask to see certificates, and never let an uninsured crew work on your property.
- Ask whether a certified arborist (ISA) will assess the job, especially for pruning or a tree you want to keep alive.
- Get an itemised written estimate — removal, stump grinding and debris haul-away are often priced separately.
- Ask how they protect lawn, fences and the house, and who cleans up and hauls the wood.
- For any tree near power lines, confirm they coordinate with the utility — that work is not DIY and not for a general crew.

Tree service in Philadelphia — FAQ
How much does tree removal cost in Philadelphia?
Price depends mostly on height, trunk diameter, lean and access. Small trees can be a few hundred dollars; large or hazardous removals near a structure run into the thousands. Stump grinding and haul-away are usually quoted separately. Always get 2–3 written estimates.
Do I need a permit to remove a tree in Philadelphia?
Many cities regulate removal of large, heritage or street-facing trees, and rules vary by municipality. A reputable local tree service will know the Pennsylvania and city requirements and can often help with the permit — confirm this before work starts.
When is tree work a job for a professional rather than DIY?
Any tree taller than you can safely reach from the ground, anything leaning toward a structure, storm-damaged or dead trees, and anything near power lines. Chainsaw work at height and under tension is the single most dangerous outdoor job — hire an insured crew.
