About This Area
Tree Care in Wilmington
Wilmington's urban tree canopy — dense in neighborhoods like Trolley Square, Alapocas, and along Delaware Avenue — is one of the oldest in New Castle County. Many of these properties feature silver maples, pin oaks, and lindens that have been growing for 60–100 years, with root systems that have long since reached foundations, utilities, and neighboring structures. Urban lot sizes are tight, utility lines run through canopies, and removal jobs in the city require precision rigging rather than open-field felling. We work in Wilmington's neighborhoods regularly and understand both the logistical challenges and the city's tree ordinances.
HOA & Permit Notes for Wilmington
City of Wilmington has a street tree ordinance — trees in the right-of-way require city approval before removal. Private-property tree removal on lots within city limits may require permits for certain species and sizes.

Local Testimonial
"Great care not to hit my roof or generator below the tree. Fabio and Melissa came out, gave a bid to remove a tree near my house — the price was good and the service they performed was excellent."
— David C., Wilmington, DE
