Tree removal service

Tree Removal

Safe removal of dead, hazardous, storm-damaged, or unwanted trees of any size. On tighter lots or hazardous leaners, we bring in the crane instead of forcing a conventional rig-down. Full cleanup included on every job.
FREE ESTIMATE
Tree trimming and pruning service

Tree Trimming and Pruning

Structural pruning, crown cleaning, and deadwood removal that keeps a tree's structure sound rather than just its appearance tidy. We do not top trees.

Shrub Removal and Trimming

Overgrown foundation plantings, hedges, and shrubs pulled back into shape or removed entirely.
FREE ESTIMATE

About Us

About BTS Tree Services

BTS Tree Services is a family-owned and locally-owned company based in Columbia, run by a father-son team with fourteen years in business and more than a hundred years of combined crew experience across Lancaster County. When you call, you are dealing with the people who actually run the job, not a call center reading from a script.

Both Nic and Corey are certified through the National Commission for the Certification of Crane Operators, an uncommon credential in this market where most tree services do not employ a single certified crane operator, let alone two on staff full time. Combined with a 70-ton crane for the largest and most hazardous removals and a 40-ton crane for tighter residential access, that gives us capability that most local competitors simply do not have.

Our crews follow OSHA guidelines on every job, and the company has been recognized locally with a second-place finish in the Reader's Choice awards. We are licensed and insured, and available 24/7 across Lancaster County.

Why Lancaster County Chooses BTS Why Choose Us?

Two NCCCO-Certified
Crane Operators

Nic and Corey are both certified through the national standard for crane operation. Most tree services in this county cannot say that about even one person on staff.

Two Cranes,
Sized for Different Jobs

A 70-ton crane for the largest hazardous removals, and a compact 40-ton crane for tighter residential properties where a smaller footprint matters. We bring the machine that actually fits the job.

OSHA Certified,
Safety-First Crews

Our workers follow OSHA guidelines on every job, whether it is a routine trim or a hazardous crane-assisted removal over a house.

Most Experienced Tree Service Company in the Area

Fourteen years in business and more than a hundred years of combined crew experience is not a common combination in this market. When a tree presents a genuinely difficult call, whether it can be saved, how it needs to come down, what equipment the job actually requires, that experience is what the decision rests on.

Clear, Transparent, and Prompt Communication

You will know what is happening at every stage, from the first call through the final walkthrough. No vague timelines, no unreturned calls, and no surprises buried in the invoice.

References

We are glad to connect you with past customers across Lancaster County who can speak to the work directly. A company confident in its own track record does not mind you checking it.

Competitive Pricing and Our Commitment to Excellence

Fair pricing on every job, and if the work does not meet the standard we promised, we stand behind it with our promise to complete the job to your satisfaction, every time.. That is a rare commitment in this industry, and we make it because we intend to keep it.

Respectful of
Your Property

We pay close attention to the property on every job, specifically to avoid damage to driveways, lawns, and landscaping. Cleanup is part of the work, not an afterthought.

BTS did an outstanding job from the start, estimating the tree removal (2 spruce pines), to safely and efficiently removing the trees located next to a 6’ privacy fence, to completely cleaning up and removing the tree trunks and all branch debris. Nic, Devon and Justin get 2 thumbs up!!

Frequently Asked Questions

Please reach us at (717) 875-0874 if you cannot find an answer to your question.

Yes. We provide 24/7 emergency tree service across Lancaster County and York County for storm damage, trees on structures, and hazardous limbs, with crane capability that lets us respond to jobs a standard crew could not handle safely.

Most private residential removals do not require a permit. Trees within the public right-of-way or designated street trees, particularly within Lancaster City, typically do. We will tell you which applies during your free consultation.

Trees leaning over a structure, oversized trunks with no safe drop zone, or hazardous trees too risky to rig down conventionally. The crane lifts sections clear of what they might damage instead of dropping them and hoping the rigging holds.

Yes. We pay close attention to the property on every job to avoid damage to driveways, lawns, and landscaping, and cleanup is part of the work.

Yes. We document the damage and coordinate with your insurance carrier so you are not managing the claims process alone.
