Cumberland Valley Tree Service

A qualified commercial driver available to operate and transport commercial trucks, trailers, tree care equipment, wood, chips, and other materials. The profile should identify the driver’s CDL class, endorsements, and relevant driving experience.

A contract climber accompanied by a qualified ground support person, providing a coordinated two-person team for climbing, rigging, debris handling, and cleanup.

An articulated compact loader — an Avant, Vermeer, Multione or similar — that pivots at its centre rather than skidding, so it turns tightly without tearing turf. Used for lawn-sensitive work, tight access, and running a wide range of attachments. This service includes the machine and a qualified operator.

A qualified arborist providing tree evaluations, risk assessments, preservation recommendations, inventories, written reports, appraisals, specifications, and other professional guidance.

A tracked excavator for removals, land clearing, stump and root excavation, and moving heavy timber. Frequently run with a thumb, grapple, mulching head or shear rather than a bucket. This service includes the machine and a qualified operator.

A truck equipped with a hydraulic loader and grapple used to pick up, load, transport, and unload logs, brush, wood, and storm debris. This service includes the grapple truck and a qualified operator.

Experienced ground personnel available to assist with rigging, ropes, chainsaw work, chipping, moving tree debris, cleanup, and general support of aerial tree operations.

Clearing standing brush, undergrowth and small-diameter trees from a site, either by grinding it in place with a forestry mulcher or by felling and removing it. Mulching leaves the material on the ground as a chip layer instead of hauling it off, which is often faster and cheaper than clearing and burning. This service includes the machine and a qualified operator.

A walk-behind or stand-on mini skid steer sized to reach through gates, along paths and across lawns a full-sized machine cannot. Used for moving logs and brush, running grapples and buckets, and keeping ground crews off the shovel on restricted-access work. This service includes the machine and a qualified operator.

A qualified professional available to operate specialized equipment owned or supplied by the hiring company. The operator provides experience and labor but does not supply the machine.

A tree care professional providing tree and shrub diagnosis, pest and disease management, soil and root care, treatments, and other services intended to support plant health.

Recreational tree climbing instruction — learning to ascend, move around and descend live, healthy trees on rope without harming them. Low-impact technique on stationary and moving rope systems, canopy movement, work positioning, tool use aloft and aerial rescue, for adults and for arborists sharpening technique away from production pressure.

A trainer who builds and delivers a tree care company's safety programme and its hands-on climbing instruction — written policies and tailgate briefings, climbing systems and work positioning, rigging technique, and timed aerial rescue practice. Often a Certified Treecare Safety Professional (CTSP), engaged for a specific programme of training or kept on as an ongoing safety resource.

An experienced arborist available to meet with clients, evaluate tree care needs, develop appropriate work recommendations, prepare estimates and proposals, and assist with job planning.

A full-sized skid steer or compact track loader for moving logs, brush, wood chips and soil around a jobsite, and for running attachments such as grapples, buckets, forks and mulching heads. This service includes the machine and a qualified operator.

A compact, tracked aerial lift with outriggers designed to travel through narrow-access areas and operate on lawns, slopes, and sensitive terrain. Spider lifts provide elevated access in locations conventional bucket trucks cannot reach. This service includes the lift and a qualified operator.

A conventional mobile crane with a telescoping boom that uses a cable, winch, and hook to lift and lower tree sections. Stick cranes are commonly used when large limbs or trunk sections must be lifted over structures or other obstacles. This service includes the crane and a qualified operator.

Crews available at short notice for storm work — clearing roads and access, removing trees off structures and vehicles, and supporting utility restoration. Storm work is its own discipline: hazardous trees under load, long shifts, and travel to the affected area, often for days at a time.

A specialized machine that uses a rotating cutting wheel to grind tree stumps and surface roots following tree removal. This service includes the stump grinder and a qualified operator.

Installing new trees and relocating established ones — siting, digging, setting at the correct depth, backfilling, staking, mulching and the aftercare that decides whether the tree survives its first two seasons. Covers single specimen trees, replacement planting after removals, and larger installation contracts.

An experienced pruning arborist specializing in proper branch selection, structural pruning, crown reduction, restoration, clearance, tree preservation, and canopy management.

A high-capacity tub or horizontal grinder for reducing logs, stumps, brush and yard waste into mulch or biomass at volume. Used on land-clearing projects, storm cleanups and at processing yards where a chipper cannot keep up. This service includes the grinder and a qualified operator.

A rubber-tyred wheel loader for high-volume material handling — loading chip and log trucks, moving mulch and soil in bulk, and feeding grinders and processing yards. This service includes the loader and a qualified operator.

A hauling service for removing and transporting logs, brush, wood chips, tree sections, and other tree-related debris from a jobsite. This service may be offered independently from other tree care or equipment services.

A machine designed to process brush, limbs, and other suitable woody debris into wood chips. This service includes the chipper and a qualified operator and may provide additional chipping capacity for removals, pruning projects, storm cleanup, and land-clearing work.
