Exclusive stump removal business. Credit cards accepted.
"Called Freeman Stump Removal to schedule. He arrived the next day and had an enormous stump completely ground up in approximately 15 -20 minutes. His stump grinder is a state of the art piece of equipment that did a fabulous job in no time at all. Perhaps most important is the fact that there was no collateral damage from the work, no ruts or tracks in our yard. As we have 3 properties with numerous mature trees I plan on using Freeman Stump Removal in the future."

"They were good at the beginning but they messed it up with the flower beds. They installed small river rocks/stones, but forgot to lay down fabric. They removed the rocks to lay the weed preventive fabric, but when they put the rocks back they put them all with the dirt, so the fabric never worked and we had a lot of weeds over the next couple of years. I asked them to come back and remove all the rocks, and do some patching on the lawn here and there, I agreed to pay whatever they quoted. They came back they removed the rocks but instead of patching the lawn with screened top soil, they used the dirt they removed from my flower beds which had a lot of rocks, and now the whole yard is full of rocks. I paid them to get rid of those rock, and they spread them all over the yard. They admit the fault, promised to come back to collect the rocks but never kept the promised. They also charged more than the quoted price. If the work is small, they don't care while doing it, and they don't care after they think they are done. STAY AWAY!"

FAQs for tree service projects in Erie, PA
You might remove a tree for free if it’s small, easy to reach, and your city doesn’t require a permit. Call the planning or public works office first to be sure. If they give you the green light, follow all safety rules, wear protective gear, and ask a friend to spot you. When in doubt—or if the tree is tall—hire a pro instead.
In many cities, you’ll need a permit—sometimes even an arborist’s report—before cutting down a tree. Start by calling your local building or planning department. They’ll tell you whether the tree is protected, how big it can be before a permit kicks in, and whether the work has to be done by a licensed pro. Get written approval before scheduling the job to stay on the right side of local rules.
It’s best to leave healthy trees alone—they add shade, boost curb appeal, and support wildlife. Take one down only if it’s dead, diseased beyond saving, or posing a real safety risk. Check local rules first; many areas protect heritage or street trees.
When removal seems necessary, bring in a licensed arborist for an on-site assessment and written recommendation before you book the crew.
If you’re torn between trimming, pruning, or full removal, start with an honest health check. Trim to shape the canopy or encourage new growth. Prune when you spot broken or diseased branches that could spread trouble.
Plan on removal only if the trunk is hollow, several major limbs are dead, storm damage is extensive, or the tree leans dangerously toward a structure.
A tree that’s 15 to 20 feet from your home isn’t automatically a problem. Healthy, small species often coexist just fine with houses. Trouble starts when the trunk shows decay, roots crack the foundation, or overhanging branches threaten the roof. Bring in a licensed arborist for a close look and written recommendation before you decide to remove or simply prune.
Timing hinges on size and complexity. A small tree might be gone in a few hours, a mid-sized one in half a day, and a giant could keep the crew busy for one to two full workdays. Add extra time if you’re grinding the stump, hauling wood, or navigating tight spaces near power lines or fences.
