Hi, I am a grad student at Penn State, looking to make a few extra bucks. I am offering leaf removal for $20-30. If you have a particularly large area, then we can talk about increasing the fee. If there is enough demand, I will offer snow removal service as well. That will generally cost around $25.

"Jeff and his son did an absolutely fantastic job. The area was an overgrown tangled mess and Jeff transformed it into a beautiful spot. He removed old overgrown bushes, weeded, mulched and created a new beautiful design with new plantings. Jeff was at all times friendly, honest and helpful with his suggestions. The work was completed quickly and efficiently. I am beyond pleased. Another area also in front of the house only needed trimming, weeding and mulching and Jeff also transformed that area. I plan to call Jeff every year for all my landscaping needs, including maintenance. Mary Ann Christman"

FAQs for tree service projects in State College, 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.
