Stroudsburg's ISA Certified Arborists

At Backwoods Tree Service, we provide a wide range of services, including tree removal, trimming, pruning, stump grinding, and emergency storm cleanup. Our ISA Certified Arborist ensures each job is done with precision and care to promote tree health and property safety.

An ISA Certified Arborist is trained in proper tree care techniques and safety protocols. This certification ensures that our team has the knowledge and experience to assess, maintain, and remove trees while preserving the health of your landscape.

We offer 24/7 emergency tree services to respond promptly when trees fall or pose immediate risks. Whether it's storm damage, hazardous limbs, or unexpected tree issues, we're prepared to act fast to protect your property.

We utilize advanced equipment, including the tallest lift in the local area with 100 feet of reach. This allows us to safely and efficiently manage tall or hard-to-reach trees, providing better results with less disruption to your property.

We take extensive precautions to protect your home, landscaping, and structures. This includes using aerial lifts or climbing techniques that prevent damage to nearby vegetation, setting up drop zones, and using mats or boards to minimize lawn impact from heavy equipment. Cleanup is always thorough, and we leave your property in excellent condition. Safety and care are at the core of every job.

Contact us immediately. Storm-damaged trees can pose serious hazards due to instability or entanglement with wires or structures. We offer emergency services and assess whether the tree can be salvaged or needs removal. It’s critical not to approach damaged trees on your own. Our priority is restoring safety quickly while preserving as much of your landscape as possible.

Stump removal isn’t always required, but there are good reasons to consider it. Leftover stumps can attract pests, cause tripping hazards, and regrow unwanted sprouts. They also make lawn care harder and can become unsightly over time. We offer stump grinding to remove the visible portion and below-ground roots, allowing you to reclaim your yard space for new planting or landscaping.

Yes, proper tree planting is critical for long-term health. We consider species selection, spacing, soil quality, drainage, and placement relative to buildings or utilities. Planting a tree too deep or in poor soil can lead to failure. Backwoods Tree Service helps with choosing the right tree and location, prepares the site, and plants using best practices for optimal growth.

Look for symptoms like yellowing leaves, early leaf drop, holes in bark, sticky residue (honeydew), and unusual growths. However, some pests like borers or fungal infections act subtly. Our arborists conduct diagnostic evaluations, identify the issue, and recommend treatment options such as soil amendments, pruning, or targeted spraying. Early detection is key to saving affected trees.

Healthy trees improve air quality, reduce stormwater runoff, regulate temperature by providing shade, and serve as habitats for local wildlife. In Stroudsburg, trees also help prevent soil erosion on sloped properties. Strategically placed trees can lower energy bills and increase property value. Our mission is not just about tree removal—it’s about fostering a healthier, greener environment.
