Derstine’s Tree Service - Quick, Dependable, and Professional

It’s easy to think that trees are among the few great things in life that are free. They increase our property values, provide shade, give us autumn scenery, and help create the air we breathe.



But sometimes there may be a price. Dead or dying trees can drop limbs or topple over onto your home or property, causing potentially huge expenses and headaches. To avoid damage, you should contact the professionals at Derstine’s Tree Service. We’re always eager and ready to help you deal with problem trees before they cost you.

How to Identify Problem Trees

Do you have trees in your yard that you’re worried about but aren’t sure if they need immediate attention? It’s always recommended to consult our professionals, but for a preliminary check, here are some signs that the tree might need to be trimmed or removed:


  • Discolored leaves and thinning in the tree’s crown
  • Roots pulled loose from the ground and fungal growth on roots and main trunk
  • Dead and fallen branches more than two inches in diameter
  • Deep vertical cracks on opposite sides of the main trunk
  • Sawdust on the trunk from wood-boring insects
  • A trunk that noticeably leans in one direction and a branch canopy that is not roughly balanced
  • And other unusual deformations and deposits on leaves, limbs, or bark


Notice one or multiple of these problems with the trees on your property? Don’t wait until it’s too late, contact Derstine’s Tree Service to nip the problem in the bud!
