Story Behind Tree Services Erie PA Company

Erie PA Tree Service company was founded in 1997 by lifelong Erie resident, Adam Smith. Adam grew up climbing the trees in his parents’ backyard, which sparked a lifelong passion for the art and science of arboriculture.

After earning a degree in Forestry from Penn State University, Adam returned home to Erie and started working for a national tree service company. He quickly moved up the ranks due to his diligence, expertise and work ethic. But Adam felt something was missing – the personal touch and connection to community he experienced as a child.

So Adam took a leap of faith, quit his stable corporate job, and started Erie PA Tree Service company. His vision was to create a tree service that felt like family, while delivering best-in-class care.

Adam started small, with just himself, a truck and a chainsaw. As word spread of his attention to detail, fair pricing and friendly service, the company grew. Adam brought on other arborists native to Erie, many coming from families who worked at the local shops.

But they also have compassion in their hearts, treating every customer’s home and trees with care and respect.

Why Should You Prune Your Trees?

Tree trimming and pruning is an essential part of proper tree care. Here are the main reasons why regular trimming is so important for your trees:

#1. Safety: Trimming removes dead or damaged limbs that could pose safety hazards if they break off. It’s key to trim branches that are overhanging your home, garage, power lines or other structures. Proper pruning creates a safe zone and improves structural integrity.

#2. Health: Like a haircut, trimming away dead wood helps your tree better focus its energy and nutrients on healthy growth. Pruning unnecessary branches also increases air circulation and light penetration for improved health.

#3. Aesthetics: Trimming shapes your tree to its desired form and enhances natural beauty. Pruning highlighting attractive branching patterns while removing limbs that detract from appearance. Well-trimmed trees greatly boost curb appeal.

#4. Clearance: Trimming provides vertical clearance from the ground up to a height of at least 8-10 feet. This removes hazards for pedestrians and vehicles passing underneath trees. Proper clearance is required along sidewalks, driveways and streets.

#5. Visibility: Strategic trimming opens up views that may be blocked by overgrown branching. Pruning can reveal attractive vistas that add value and enjoyment to your landscape.

#6. Prevention: Proactive trimming removes damage before it worsens. Pruning diseased, crossing, and hazardous branches prevents more extensive repairs later on. It’s smart preventative care.

With proper tools, techniques and timing, trimming protects tree health, property and people. Consult our ISA Certified Arborists to determine the best trimming solutions for your trees.
