Harrisburg and its surrounding neighborhoods are full of mature, beautiful trees, the kind that add real value to a property and real character to a street. They’re also the kind that, when they get too big, too close, or too damaged, need to be handled carefully and by people who know what they’re doing.
Fritchey’s Tree Service is a locally owned and operated tree company serving Harrisburg and the surrounding communities. We offer free estimates, honest recommendations, and the kind of workmanship that leaves your yard looking better than we found it.
Neighborhoods We Serve in Harrisburg
We work throughout the greater Harrisburg area, with frequent jobs in:
- Forest Hills (off Linglestown Road) – One of our most active areas. Forest Hills has some of the most mature tree canopies in the region, which is part of what makes it such a beautiful neighborhood, and part of what makes summer thunderstorm season so stressful for homeowners. We’re no strangers to post-storm calls from the Linglestown Road area.
- Colonial Park – A mix of established landscaping and newer growth. We handle everything from routine trimming to full removals here.
- Paxtonia – Active area for trimming, crown reduction, and removal of trees that have grown too close to structures over the years.
- Nyes Road area – We’ve worked throughout this corridor and are familiar with the properties and the types of trees common to the area. We do regular trimming and removal work of trees that have grown too close to structures over the years in both the Nyes Road and Devonshire Heights Road areas.
- Paxtang Borough – A tight-knit borough with lots of beautiful, mature trees where we’ve built a strong reputation through word of mouth.
If you’re in Harrisburg and you’re not sure whether we cover your area, just give us a call. Chances are we’ve worked nearby.
Our Services in Harrisburg
Whether you have one tree that needs to come down or you’re dealing with a yard full of storm damage, we have the equipment and experience to handle it safely and efficiently.
Tree Removal Sometimes a tree simply needs to go, whether it’s dead, diseased, structurally compromised, or just too close to the house. We had a homeowner in Forest Hills reach out about a large cherry tree that had grown uncomfortably close to their home over the years. It wasn’t an emergency, yet, but they knew it was only a matter of time. We took it down cleanly, removed every bit of debris, and left the property looking like we’d never been there.
That’s how we approach every job.
Tree Trimming & Pruning Regular trimming keeps trees healthy, reduces storm risk, and keeps branches away from rooflines, gutters, and power lines. We trim to promote long-term tree health, not just to make things look clean for a season.
Stump Grinding After a removal, the stump doesn’t have to stay. We grind stumps down below grade so you can replant, sod over, or just reclaim the space.
Storm Damage & Emergency Response When a summer thunderstorm rolls through Harrisburg — and they do — things can escalate quickly. A split limb on a roofline, a fallen tree blocking a driveway, a branch through a fence. We respond to storm damage calls and can assess what’s safe, what needs to come down, and what can wait.
Hazard Tree Assessment Not sure if a tree is a problem? We’ll come look at it and give you an honest answer, even if that answer is “it’s fine, leave it alone.” We’re not here to sell you a removal you don’t need.
Storm Season in Harrisburg
Central Pennsylvania summers can be rough on trees. Fast-moving thunderstorms bring high winds and heavy rain, and older trees; especially the tall oaks, maples, and cherries common in neighborhoods like Forest Hills, can take a beating.
We’ve seen it happen more than once: a tree that looks perfectly healthy drops a major limb in a storm because of internal decay that wasn’t visible from the outside. That’s why we always recommend having mature trees assessed before storm season if you have any concerns. Catching a problem early is almost always less expensive, and far less stressful than dealing with it at midnight after a storm.
