How do you remove a large tree on a small Claymont lot?

Small-lot removals in Claymont use full sectional rigging — no felling. A climber ascends, sections are tied off and lowered one piece at a time into whatever space is available. The job takes longer than an open-lot equivalent but results in controlled, precise removal without risk to neighbors or structures.

Are Norway maples worth keeping in Claymont?

Norway maples are invasive non-native species in Delaware, and their shallow root systems make them more prone to uprooting in storms than native maple species. If yours is healthy and manageable, keeping it is fine — but if it's near structures, showing storm damage, or causing root problems with hardscape, removal is a reasonable decision and you're not losing an ecologically valuable tree.

My neighbor's tree branches are over my Claymont yard — what are my options?

In Delaware, you have the right to cut branches that cross your property line, up to the property line, at your own expense. However, if the tree poses active hazard to your property, there may be grounds to request the tree owner take action. We can assess the situation and provide documentation of any hazard conditions, which is often useful in discussions with neighbors.

Local Tip for Claymont Homeowners

White ash trees in Claymont that haven't been treated for EAB are almost certainly infested by now — EAB has been established in New Castle County since the early 2010s. If you have ash trees, get them assessed: declining ash trees lose structural integrity faster than most species and become a falling hazard before they look dead.

What Claymont Customers Say

"Excellent job cutting what was hanging on my property and over my house. This was a neighbor's tree on the property line, with wires going to both houses — a very difficult job. Spectacular work and wonderful clean up. I am very pleased!"
