Does Billow's Tree & Landscape serve Hummelstown?

Yes. We work throughout Hummelstown, in Dauphin County (ZIP codes 17036). Call 717-743-5871 or send the estimate form and we call back to walk the job.

How far is Hummelstown from your shop?

Hummelstown is about 18 miles southeast of our Halifax shop. Our shop is at 993 Ridge Rd, Halifax. For a tree on a house, a car or a line, call the storm line any time: 717-743-5871.

How much does tree removal cost in Hummelstown?

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 Hummelstown?

Trees on your own property usually do not need a permit. Street trees, between the sidewalk and the curb, can be regulated by Hummelstown, 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 Hummelstown?

Here the trees are older than many of the houses, and there is rarely room to drop one. We plan every cut around roofs, fences, parked cars and lines. Emerald ash borer has killed or weakened most untreated ash trees in Pennsylvania. Dead ash turns brittle and should come down before it falls.

Do you handle storm damage in Hummelstown?

Yes. Trees on houses, cars, driveways and lines, removed in sections by crane, bucket or grapple saw. If a power line is involved, call the utility first, then call us: 717-743-5871, answered 24/7.

Yes. We also serve Derry Township, South Hanover Township and Swatara Township, and the rest of Dauphin County. Each has its own page with local details.
