A 60-foot elm in a South Philly backyard with neighbors on all sides is not a job for a crew that has never worked in a tight space. The tree services in Philadelphia on this page hold more than 1,400 Google reviews between them, all rated 4.8 or higher, and what separates them is the kind of job each is known for: careful pruning, crane work, climbing removals or fast storm calls.

Short answer: Liberty Tree and Landscape Management has the most Google reviews here, 4.9 stars from more than 770 reviews, with reviewers describing pruning and a crane-assisted replacement. JP Tree Service (4.8, more than 450 reviews) is known for climbing removals, and Rapid Tree Care (4.9) and JG Landscaping & Tree Service (5.0) are Philadelphia crews with fast storm-damage stories.

Our take: Built around tight rowhome yards, which is a common Philadelphia problem. Ask early whether a grinder can reach your stump.

How the scorecards work

Each scorecard uses public Google data. Rating is the live Google star average. Review volume is how many customers have rated the business, compared with other tree companies in the Philadelphia area. Confidence weighs the rating by that volume, so a 4.9 from hundreds of reviews carries more weight than a 5.0 from fewer. Recency shows how recently customers are still leaving reviews. No business can pay to change these numbers.

What drives tree service pricing in Philadelphia

None of these businesses lists prices, so ask for a written quote. Price mostly follows the height and species of the tree, how hard it is to reach, whether a crane or climbers are needed, and whether stump grinding and haul-away are included. A tree in a tight rowhome backyard costs more to work than one on an open lot.

Tree work across Philadelphia and nearby suburbs

Rapid Tree Care works from South Philadelphia, JG Landscaping & Tree Service from Northeast Philadelphia, and reviewers mention jobs in South Philly and Chestnut Hill-area yards. Liberty (Glenside) and JP Tree Service (Upper Darby) come in from the suburbs. Looking for a tree service near me? Each card shows a phone number so you can confirm your address is covered.

Questions to ask before a tree comes down

  • Is stump grinding included, and can a grinder reach my yard?
  • Will you handle any street-parking or access arrangements?
  • Do you use climbers, a lift or a crane for my tree?
  • Is the quote written, and does it include haul-away and cleanup?
  • Can you prune instead of removing, and set up a schedule?
  • Do you respond to storm damage the same day?
