Tree Service In Center City

Leo’s Tree care is a certified contractor for the city of Philadelphia giving us the ability to get permits for their trimming or removal. These trees are of great value to the city acting as an air filter to any pollution. Maintaining  these trees can at times be the city’s responsibility but very often it can come down to the homeowner being liable. Our company’s familiarity with the permitting process can make it much easier for anyone wishing to get this work done in accordance with the city’s regulations.

Street trees in Philadelphia can be pruned and trimmed to give them more longevity in their given space. By structure pruning the crown they can be trained to grow even in the tightest of areas. By raising and directionally pruning lower branches we can encourage the growth away from walkways, streets, houses, cars, signs and other object that become hindered and or obstructed by their growth. 

In some cases these street trees have the misfortune of limited underground room for root growth. When the root volume reaches a certain point it will no longer be able to retain the water and nutrients necessary to sustain itself. In cases like these the tree may end of dying or becoming unstable. The roots may also become so large that the damage sidewalks or pipes. In situations like these removal may be necessary to insure safety and property function of utilities. Leo’s Tree Care is very familiar with the removal process of these street trees even when they are in the most precarious of areas. We will also grind the stump to ensure compliance with the city of Philadelphia’s stump grinding requirements.
