Our Story
Pittsburgh Tree Service was founded in 2010 with a simple idea: trees deserve expert care, and Pittsburgh homeowners and businesses deserve a tree service they can truly trust.
What started as a one-truck operation run by arborist Mark Thompson has grown into one of the most respected tree care companies in the Greater Pittsburgh area. Mark, a lifelong Western Pennsylvania resident and ISA Certified Arborist, saw too many trees damaged or removed unnecessarily due to poor advice and careless work. He believed the city's trees, from the maples and oaks in Shadyside to the towering pines in the North Hills, deserved better.
From the beginning, our approach has been different. We do not just trim trees, we care for them. We take time to listen to our customers, assess each tree's health, and provide honest recommendations that put the long-term well-being of your property first. Whether it is a dangerous emergency removal after a winter storm, routine pruning to maintain beautiful landscapes, or deep root fertilization to combat Pittsburgh's challenging clay soils, we treat every job with the same level of care and professionalism.
Over the past 15+ years, we have had the honor of serving thousands of homes and businesses across Allegheny, Washington, Butler, Beaver, and Westmoreland counties. From small backyard projects in Dormont and Carnegie to large commercial properties in Cranberry and Robinson Township, our reputation has been built on consistent quality, fair pricing, and showing up when we say we will.
What truly drives us is a deep respect for Pittsburgh's green canopy and the communities we call home. Trees are more than landscape features. They increase property values, improve air quality, provide shade during hot summers, and add beauty to our neighborhoods.
Today, Pittsburgh Tree Service is a proud, locally owned and operated company with a team of experienced, fully insured, and continuously trained professionals. We are fully committed to staying at the forefront of safe, modern tree care practices while maintaining the personal, neighborly service that started it all.
Our Values
Tree work carries real risk. We plan every removal, prune, and emergency response around people, structures, power lines, and crew safety.
Free estimates, clear arrival windows, and 24/7 emergency availability keep Pittsburgh property owners from waiting in the dark.
Our ISA Certified Arborists assess tree structure, health, disease, pests, and risk before recommending removal, pruning, or treatment.
We provide written estimates and plain explanations, so you know exactly what is included before work begins.
Our team's decades of experience in the Greater Pittsburgh area mean we understand local tree species, weather patterns, hillside properties, and soil conditions. We know how Western Pennsylvania trees grow and what they need to stay healthy.
Our tree care professionals hold current ISA-certification. This training helps ensure we use trusted best practices for tree health, pruning, risk assessment, and safety on every job.
Our commitment to quality service and customer satisfaction has earned us top ratings from the Better Business Bureau.
We protect healthy trees by using rope and harness systems instead of spurs that damage bark and invite disease.
Our professional equipment allows us to handle tree jobs safely and efficiently, from small residential pruning to large commercial tree care projects.
We carry complete liability insurance and workers compensation to protect your property and our team during all tree work.
When storms hit Western Pennsylvania, our crews respond quickly to remove dangerous fallen trees and restore safety to your property.
Our certified arborists provide detailed, written estimates at no cost throughout Pittsburgh and surrounding communities.
We recycle wood waste when possible, protect native vegetation, and follow applicable environmental regulations on every job.
As a locally owned company, we live and work in the same communities we serve. Your neighbors are our neighbors, and your satisfaction is our reputation.
Safety comes first on every job. Our certified arborists follow strict OSHA guidelines and use professional safety equipment. We protect your landscaping with tarps and plywood, clean up all debris, and leave your property better than we found it.
