About This Area
Hockessin is the most topographically challenging service area in our territory. The rolling hills along Brackenville Road, the Mendenhall area, and the roads bordering Brandywine Creek State Park create steep-grade lots where large mature oaks, tulip poplars, and beeches grow on slopes that require rigging techniques and sometimes crane assistance for safe removal. Properties in Hockessin frequently feature trees 60–80 feet tall with trunks 24–36 inches in diameter — among the largest residential removal jobs in New Castle County. The premium residential character of Hockessin also means cleanup expectations are high and site care is paramount.
HOA & Permit Notes for Hockessin
Hockessin has relatively few municipal tree regulations, but many higher-end developments have detailed deed restrictions or HOA covenants governing tree removal. Some border Brandywine Creek State Park buffer zones where riparian vegetation is protected.

Local Testimonial
"Highly recommend. The owner stopped by to offer service the day after a tree fell onto my house and wires. He and his crew were super fast and efficient, sent videos and photos every step since I wasn't home. Price was extremely reasonable and the cleanup was impressive."
