Tree Service in Conyngham, PA
Luzerne County. About 20 minutes away from our Freeland home base.
Conyngham is in the Sugarloaf area of Luzerne County, and the lots here are larger residential properties with mature trees planted close to the homes. The combination — big trees and bigger lots — is a good one until a mature tree starts to fail right next to the house. A large oak or maple within falling distance of a roof is the kind of thing worth having looked at before the next storm decides for you.
The Sugarloaf area has a mix of older trees and newer construction, and where new homes went in around mature trees, those trees have kept growing toward the roofline and the driveway. Pruning to keep them clear, and removing the ones that have gone too far, is most of what we do here.

Mature trees on larger lots, close to the house
On a larger Conyngham lot, a mature tree near the house is both the best and the riskiest thing on the property. Pruning it well — taking out the deadwood, reducing the limbs over the roof, and keeping the structure sound — can add years to its life and lower the chance of a storm failure. We prune to the ANSI A300 standard and never top, because topping a mature tree does more harm than leaving it alone.
When a tree near a Conyngham home has to come out, the size and the proximity together drive the job. We dismantle it in sections and lower each piece with rigging so nothing is dropped on the roof, the deck, or the driveway. We read the tree and the space first, then plan the takedown so it comes down where we want it.

FAQ
Tree service questions in Conyngham
How do you prune a mature tree near my house?
We selectively remove deadwood and reduce the limbs over the roof, pruning to the ANSI A300 standard so the tree keeps its strength. We rig limbs down so nothing is dropped on the roof, and we never top the tree.
When should a tree near my house come out?
If the trunk is cracked or hollow, the tree has a new lean, a dead top, or mushrooms at the base, removal is usually the safer call. We will look at it and tell you honestly whether pruning can buy you time or whether the tree is past it.
Can you remove a large tree over my deck or driveway?
Yes. We dismantle it in sections and lower each piece with rigging so nothing is dropped. We will look at the setup and tell you if anything needs to be moved or protected first.
How much of the canopy can you remove at once?
We avoid removing more than about a quarter of a healthy tree's canopy in one cycle. Removing too much at once stresses the tree and triggers weak, fast growth. We prune for the tree's health first.
What if the tree is an oak?
Oaks should not be pruned in spring and early summer, because fresh cuts attract the beetles that spread oak wilt. We schedule oak pruning for late fall and winter when the risk is lowest.
