Our Lehigh Valley Tree Removal Services
Specialized Solutions for Every Tree Removal Challenge
Every tree removal project presents unique challenges. That's why we offer specialized removal services to handle any situation safely and efficiently. Our comprehensive tree removal services include:
Standard Tree Removal
For trees in open areas with good access, our skilled climbers perform precise sectional dismantling, carefully removing the tree piece by piece. This controlled removal method is ideal for:
- Healthy trees that need to be removed for construction or landscape changes
- Trees up to 50 feet tall without major structural issues
- Trees with adequate space for controlled dropping of sections
- Locations where heavy equipment access isn't needed or possible
- Trees away from structures and utilities
Our expert climbers use advanced rigging techniques and specialized equipment to systematically dismantle trees. Starting at the top, they remove outer branches first, cut larger branches into manageable sections, lower heavy pieces using ropes and rigging, remove the main trunk in sections, and cut the stump as close to ground level as possible.
Crane-Assisted Tree Removal
When trees are too large, damaged, or in locations where conventional removal methods aren't safe or practical, our crane-assisted removal service provides the perfect solution. This specialized technique allows us to safely remove trees that would be extremely difficult or impossible to take down using standard climbing methods, such as:
- Large trees over structures
- Storm-damaged or unstable trees
- Trees in confined spaces
- Dead or dying trees that are unsafe to climb
- Locations where dropping sections isn't possible
- Trees requiring removal in sensitive landscapes
Our experienced crane operators and ISA Certified Arborist work together to carefully plan each lift, ensuring your property is protected while the tree is safely removed section by section. The crane's ability to lift large portions of the tree and move them to a safe processing area means less impact on your landscape and faster completion times.
Technical Tree Removal in Tight Spaces
Removing trees in confined spaces requires extensive planning, specialized equipment, and advanced rigging techniques. Our experienced team excels at safely removing trees from challenging locations like:
- Between buildings
- Near power lines
- Over pools or delicate landscaping
- Close to fences or property lines
- In narrow side yards
- Behind other trees or obstacles
- Near retaining walls or sensitive hardscaping
Tree Removal Near Power Lines
Removing trees near power lines requires extra precautions and careful coordination. For your safety and ours, we follow strict protocols when working around electrical utilities, including:
- Professional assessment of line proximity and voltage
- Coordination with local utility companies
- Maintaining required safety clearances
- Following all OSHA and industry safety standards
- Working within utility company guidelines
Some situations may require the utility company to temporarily disconnect power or send their own crew first. We'll coordinate all necessary steps to ensure your tree removal is completed safely.
Hazard Tree Removal
When a tree poses an immediate risk to people or property, swift, professional removal is essential. Our experienced team specializes in safely removing hazardous trees, including those that are:
- Severely storm damaged
- Split, cracked, or broken
- Leaning dangerously
- Dead or dying
- Affected by root failure
- Damaged by lightning
- Heavily diseased or structurally compromised
- Threatening structures or power lines

Stump Grinding After Tree Removal
Quick Removal of Stumps and Surface Roots
While tree removal ends at ground level, the remaining stump can create ongoing challenges for your property. Most homeowners choose to remove stumps because they:
Our Stump Grinding Process
At Harmony Tree Services, we use professional-grade stump grinding equipment to remove stumps efficiently. Our powerful grinders turn the stump and visible roots into wood chips, typically grinding 3-6 inches below ground level. This process eliminates the stump while minimizing disruption to your yard.
The grinding process is quick and clean, usually taking 30-60 minutes per stump depending on size. We rake the resulting wood chips level with the surrounding soil, creating a clean area ready for new grass, plants, or landscaping.
Understanding Tree Removal Permits and Regulations in Lehigh Valley
Local Permit Requirements
In Allentown and Bethlehem, shade tree permits are required for any work on street trees or trees located in the public right-of-way. As Certified Arborists recognized by both cities' Shade Tree Commissions, we handle all permit applications and ensure work meets local ordinance requirements.
For properties outside Allentown and Bethlehem, permit requirements vary by municipality. Our team stays current with local regulations throughout the Lehigh Valley area and will guide you through any required approval processes.
Permit Application Process
During the initial assessment, our team will determine if your tree is subject to these regulations. We'll identify if it's a city-owned street tree, verify its location relative to the public right-of-way, and explain any specific requirements that apply. If a permit is needed, we'll manage the entire application process, including providing necessary documentation and coordinating with city officials.
