Prepared for large and challenging trees
All Trees. Everyday.
Martin Tree Service, LLC uses a common sense, Lancaster County approach to tree trimming and removal needs. Our cranes, 75-foot aerial boom trucks, and 90-foot spider lifts help maintain our safety culture as well as provide added efficiency.
After 30+ years, we’ve grown into what is perhaps the largest tree service in Lancaster County. We enjoy referrals as well as helping smaller tree services with complex jobs.
We are equipped to handle your backyard, residential trees, streetscape trees, and large commercial tree extractions from golf courses and commercial properties.
Tree Service … it’s what we do!
Proper Equipment for a job done right!
We’ll roll in – equipped
Best Equipment, at Your Service
When you hire Martin Tree Service, you get access to the best equipment in the industry. For a tree removal by crane, we will bring a late model, inspected crane with our own qualified operator skilled in tree removal. The tree will be carefully dismantled using professional rigging equipment by an operator in a bucket truck. When the branches get on the ground, they are chipped by our large chipper and blown into a waiting truck. Heavy logs are moved with ease by our all-wheel-steer loader, equipped with high flotation turf tires. Our own log truck can respond as needed to make cleanup a neat and punctual process.
All this can easily be done in a day or less. No waiting for rented equipment, sub-contracted workers, or old broken-down equipment. If needed, our 100-HP stump grinder can remove your old stump. We can then fill in the hole with topsoil and plant grass, making your landscape look fresh and new.
Forestry Mowing for Vegitation Management
Commercial – Residential
Forestry Mower
Are you struggling to control invasive species of brush and small trees? Cutting this kind of undergrowth with a chainsaw and dragging it out is very time consuming and costly. Our forestry mower meets this situation head-on and is the best tool for the job.
The agility of a mini excavator mounted mower is perfect for road banks and rough terrain. The tracked skid loader works best on drivable terrain and areas where a level finished surface is desired. These tools are great for bamboo, sumac, tree of heaven, vines and other hard to manage fauna.
Best of all, the forestry mower grinds up the brush and pulverizes it into the ground. This leaves the area with minimal soil disturbance or erosion control requirements. For most situations, the soil is ready for further landscaping. No need for a stump grinder or root digging.
Ready for emergencies
We Are Ready for Storm Damage
Did a tree fall during a storm and damage your property? Will the damage get worse by removing the tree?
When trees fall in a storm, some situations call for a skilled approach to removal. Martin Tree Service, LLC has the equipment, business relationships, and manpower to work with your insurance company and get the tree off your property safely and efficiently.
While working on your damaged tree, the skilled tree workers can easily recognize trees where subsequent damage from the rest of the tree may follow.
We are a common-sense tree company. If you can remove a branch yourself, do that. If it is not on your house or blocking your drive, let clean up wait until a better suited time. Most of all, do not let simple tree issues create a serious medical emergency because of an incompetent approach. Hire a professional.
Priority is given to storm damage

Our practical approach to tree removal.
Pricing is based on trees, ease of access, and equipment required.
Pricing
How to get our Best Pricing
How to get lower pricing:
We price our jobs to give you first class service. Some people prefer to do some things themselves and save a few bucks. Following are ways you can get reduced pricing on your job.
- If we don’t chip or remove brush, but simply take down your tree.
- If we don’t rake your yard.
- If we can leave wood that we don’t want (often, this means all the wood).
- If you allow us to fit your job into our schedule when we are in your area.
- If you don’t mind getting ruts in your yard (using ground protection mats for our trucks takes a lot of extra time).
We price our jobs by how many personnel are needed, equipment needs, ease of access, and the cost of us to get there. Once we have a crew and equipment onsite, additional tree work can seem very reasonable.
We can’t always do your job the next day, but we understand and work with short deadlines you may have.
Woodchips
If you are getting tree work done by our company and would like woodchips, please mention it to our office or the job crew. We will be happy to leave you the truckload of woodchips and avoid hauling them back to our shop.
Our woodchip pile is located at 950 East Earl Road, New Holland. You may self-load for $20 a pickup truck load, or give a donation for smaller amounts.
We can load woodchips with our JCB. Please call the office for pricing and pick-up times.
