Tree reviews in Glenside, Pennsylvania

From start to finish Liberty was a professional and courteous operation. Mike made us comfortable with the treatment of our sycamore and elevation. Tree crew 5 was gentle with the tree and did an outstanding job! We couldn't be more happy with the service and highly recommend Liberty for the health of your tree's.

High quality service and great results. We live in a 300 year old home in Society Hill, Philadelphia with several garden hardscaping challenges — the crew made our backyard feel bigger and brighter , courteous crew, and left with everything cleaned. No damage to property or garden. Highly recommend!

Old First Church had been left waiting by the tree service we'd been using. Looking for an alternative, I texted Liberty Tree Service at 9 am, had a call back in 15 minutes, met them on site in another 15 minutes. Crew 7 -- Guiseppie, Mark and Jose -- were in the area, and an hour and a half later, 2 trees and 5 bushes were down, in the chopper and the area was cleaned up like nothing happened. Really amazing (I'm not sure these turnaround times are always promised!), but I'm confident in the service! Looking forward to working with them to plant 5 new trees, a bunch of shrubs / bushes and perrenials as well as move some granite slabs. Couldn't recommend Liberty Tree Service higher...

New Review for 2025...below this review is my previous review from 2022. I just had the tree trimmed again (2025), and I am once again very satisfied with how the trimming went. Mike Duffy and his team (Mark, Sean, and Guiseppie) from Liberty showed up right on time, and they were ready to start work first thing in the morning. It was a pleasure to watch them work, especially all the climbing they had to do in order to access the upper reaches of my towering sycamore. I left to go into the office and I was hoping to get back before they finished, but I knew they were completed the job when my neighbor sent me a mid-afternoon text "they did a great job!" Both my neighbor and I were very pleased with both the tree trimming and how thoroughly the team cleaned up sidewalk, road, etc.

I look forward to working with Liberty again!

review from 2022...

I live in a rowhouse in the city in front of which is a shockingly huge sycamore. Liberty came to my house in 2015 to trim the tree back, and it looked great…just like a new haircut. Seven years later and the poor thing was overdue for a trimming. Mike and his team ( Crew 7 ) came out this week to get the tree back into shape. They showed up first thing in the morning, got right to work, and after much climbing and rappelling and cutting, the tree looks great. It was impressive to watch the crew work; I snapped some photos which do not do justice to the heights they climbed nor the extent to which they were literally out on a limb. Even though they had to contend with power lines running in multiple directions while working 30+ feet in the air, I never had the sense they were unsafe. When the crew finished with the tree they did a fantastic job cleaning up…the street is cleaner now than it was before they started work. All-in-all, I am very pleased, and I absolutely will work with Liberty again when it comes to both yearly maintenance ( fertilizer; growth inhibitor ) and periodic trimming. The attached pics represent the "after" look; I forgot to take a before pic. But, the bramble of limbs is all orderly now. I am excited to see it when the leaves grow in.

Liberty tree did a great job trimming my backyard tree and cleaning things up. I live in center City so my backyard is a small pad with a very large tree. I was initially worried that it would be difficult to get trimmed given the confined area to work in, but that wasn't a problem. The whole process was hassle free. Mike assessed what needed to be done quickly and provided a quote within the day. He was very knowledgeable and gave me some tips on other plants I had. Crew 7 did the work within an hour and cleaned up my backyard on top of trimming the tree. I really appreciated that extra level of service. Really pleased with their work and will be having them take care of the maintenance of this tree going forward. Before and after pics are included.

Guiseppe and the crew did a great job replacing my street tree, the sidewalk is completely clean and the tree is in great shape. So happy to have had the chance to work with Liberty, absolutely would recommend, the entire process was easy, transparent and the team was always super responsive. Thanks all!

Many thanks to Mike Duffy and his crew, Mark, Sean and Giuseppe for a great job freeing our roof and AC Units from the encroaching entanglement of vines that were adversely impacting our AC efficiency. It was a pleasure to deal with a company that shows up when they say the will, perform their job efficiently and professionally and treat their customers in a friendly and respectful manner. Great job guys.

Crew 8 did a phenomenal job cleaning up our outdoor areas and planting new viburnums and grass that will make our backyard thrive. Ownership/management was very thorough, collaborative, and communicative in scoping the job, and Dre, Jordan, and Tito were very professional and meticulous in getting the work done. I couldn't recommend Liberty enough.

The before and after. Mike and his team did a really spectacular job trimming our tree in our back yard. They were incredibly efficient and thorough. We live in a rowhome which required moving the trimmed branches through the house. They were very mindful and respectful of our home and left no trace of any mess or dirt before leaving. Would recommend.

I reached out to multiple tree trimming companies about a tree in my back yard that had nearly overtaken my back yard. Mike at Liberty Tree and Landscaping was quick to respond and came over to check out the tree right away. Not only did he advise me on how to keep it healthy and trimmed, but also advised me on a street tree out front that was struggling too. His crew Giuseppe and Rich came today to do the pruning in the back and were great from beginning to end. They were on time, quick, and left my yard cleaner than when they arrived. Best part of it all: the tree looks great. These guys are terrific to work with and I will be using them again.

We've had the privilege of working with Mike and his team since we moved to our row home in Philly. Over that time, and with Mike's help, we've very slowly made changes and additions to little city backyard. Through it all, Mike has been honest, thoughtful, and understanding - always working with us to stay in budget, be mindful of our ideas and concerns, yet free with ideas and suggestions to make our overgrown but lovely space into the oasis it has become, and to maintain it as well. Today, Mike's team got us ready for winter by removing overgrown plantings and vines, and put in two new Crepe Myrtles - I can't wait for spring to see them in bloom! His crew - Mark, Guiseppie, Sean and Rich - were efficient, careful, communicative and a real pleasure to work with - no easy task given the challenges of urban gardens with narrow alleyway entrances and blocked streets! Thanks Guys!

Liberty Tree Service is very professional, Jerry(foreman) and the entire crew were very single minded in task of removing the dead tree, operated very safely and efficiently. I was impressed how quickly they all worked together and cleaned up site to the extent you wouldn't know I had a tree when they started. Property has a new fence, carport with a new roof, gazebo and above ground pool to work around without damaging and crew was aware of importance and took precautions without asking. I had three estimates from different tree removal companies and Liberty was quicker to respond with quote and least expensive, very happy I used Liberty. Thank you Mike Duffy(co-owner) for a class operation, from office staff to front line employees you hire and oversee. *****

Crew 7 (Sean, Mark and Rich) did a wonderful job trimming the large Southern Magnolia in our backyard. They had to access the yard and remove all the tree debris through our house, which they did neatly and cleanly. At the end of the job, they cleaned up, leaving our yard neater than before they came.
Liberty Tree understands the challenges of working in tight, urban spaces. We highly recommend them.

I had an exceptional experience with this arborist crew—Mark, Guiseepie, Miguel and entire crew 7! Despite the challenging task of cutting down a large tree in a narrow backyard, pruning branches, and removing deep roots, they completed everything with professionalism and dedication. They even carefully removed and replaced bricks while dealing with the roots, leaving the yard in perfect condition. Their attention to detail, hard work, and commitment to doing the job right truly impressed me. Highly recommend!

Was looking for someone to help cut a tree. After reaching out to a few of the recommended people on the list by the city of philadelphia, the contractors never came through. Liberty tree was on that list and answered promptly and Mike was very accommodating with finding the best schedule that fit our needs.

Thank you Mike, June, Jeremy, and Edward for your excellent service at a reasonable price with the speed you provided to take care of the issue! I really appreciate you hauling everything away too and left the place clean of debris! Have a great weekend!

Liberty Tree did a great job. Crew 7 Sean, Charles, Giuseppe and Arthur were efficient and neat in their pruning. Am looking forward to seeing sunshine through my Crepe Myrtle and other plantings in the Spring.

We loved working with this company! Our gardener recommended we call Chris White and his team and they exceeded expectations. They are very professional and do great work. Our yard was a mess after having to replace a sewer pipe and Chris outlined a plan for cleaning it up and preparing it for planting again. Crew 3 (Dave, Dre, and Tito) did a fantastic job.

We were impressed with the whole Liberty Tree team! Mike was knowledgeable and communicated the whole plan for our tree pruning. Crew 7 - Sean, Mark, and Guiseppie - arrived on time and did an excellent job pruning our very tall pear tree on a busy center city street. We will use Liberty again to maintain the health of our trees.

Had two massive dead trees that needed to be removed from my yard for safety, Liberty was able to get it done quickly and at a really good price. Sean and crew 7 got everything done, no issues, and cleaned up the yard nicer than it was in the first place. Great company to work with

I can't say enough good things about the crew which Mike Duffy sent out to work on my overgrown yard. They managed to safely remove a 30 foot Bradford Pear I had foolishly let grow as a volunteer in my yard, and a similar height Privet. In addition there was a mixed hedge of Privet, Forsythia, and Red Twig Dogwood which had all gotten out of control.The members of Crew 7- Sean, Giuseppe, and Mark did a terrific job! My perennials are finally getting sun again . The guys arrived promptly, we reviewed the work needed with Mike, and then they got to it. When they completed all that was to be removed they did a great job of cleaning up. I heartily recommend Liberty Tree and Landscape Service for their excellent service!

I normally work with Liberty for the yearly care of my ash tree (emeral ash borer treatment, root treatment, pruning). This time Mark, Sean, Guiseppie from Liberty not only pruned my overgrown tree, but also removed the vines which covered an entire wall of my house. They paid attention to detail and got the job done right and efficiently. The vines are thoroughly removed including the roots. They were very courteous and professional throughout the way. They also paid extra attention not to damage the flowers in the garden. They are great team of people to work with.
