About Shippensburg.

  • Shippensburg is the oldest community in the Cumberland Valley, settled in 1730.
  • US 11 runs through the center of town as King Street, and I-81 has nearby exits 24 and 29.
  • Gum Run flows through town and becomes Middle Spring Creek, a tributary of Conodoguinet Creek.
  • Shippensburg University sits just north of the borough limits in Shippensburg Township.

Borough lots are tight. Big old trees sit close to houses, porches, alleys and wires, so most removals here come down in sections with the crane or bucket truck.

Places we work around: Shippensburg Historic District, Widow Piper's Tavern and Shippen House.

Tree health

What we watch for in Cumberland County.

  • Emerald ash borer has killed or weakened most untreated ash trees in Pennsylvania. Dead ash turns brittle and should come down before it falls.
  • Cumberland County is in Pennsylvania's spotted lanternfly quarantine. We follow state rules when moving wood and brush.
  • Oak wilt has been confirmed west of the Susquehanna, so we prune oaks only December through March, per Penn State Extension.

How much does tree removal cost in Shippensburg?

Price comes down to the tree and the site: height and diameter, whether it is dead or sound, what it could hit, and how close a truck can get. Stump grinding and hauling are listed separately so you can choose. Estimates are free.

Do I need a permit to remove a tree in Shippensburg?

Trees on your own property usually do not need a permit. Street trees, between the sidewalk and the curb, can be regulated by Shippensburg, and some boroughs require a permit to prune or remove them. Check with the borough office before work on a street tree. We can help you sort out who to call.

What tree problems are common in Shippensburg?

Borough lots are tight. Big old trees sit close to houses, porches, alleys and wires, so most removals here come down in sections with the crane or bucket truck.
