Services
Ickes Tree Service, Inc is a dedicated, full service tree care company - family owned and operated. We have been serving Baldwin County since 1979. Ickes Tree Service, Inc was founded by Gary Ickes Sr. in 1969 at Bradford, Pennsylvania. Gary Ickes Sr. semi-retired in the summer of 1992 allowing Gary R Ickes II to manage and operate the business.
One basic housekeeping chore that might help a struggling tree would be pruning. Pruning is an oft-needed maintenance treatment for good tree health and safety but pruning without a good reason is not good tree care practice. Pruning just because your neighbor is doing it may not be beneficial for the tree and could result in too much live tree tissue being removed.
Although we consider every option to preserve your trees, sometimes due to generally poor condition, inappropriate location, unacceptable risk or other criteria, removal is simply the best management option. Some removal projects are quite routine, while others require highly technical skills including working around utility lines, complex rigging or the use of large cranes.
To determine the impact on the affected plants, develop plans to mitigate the impact on the plants, and develop a program to maintain or increase plant health. Reports, either written or verbal, will be supplied to document the evaluation or consultation. Written reports can be provided in form, letter, or booklet methods with supporting documentation.
Trees that grow in a natural environment tend to be healthier. The main reason for this is because the organic layer that covers the forest floor is undisturbed. The organic layer is a giant compost pile. The compost is used by the trees for nutrients. The organic layer also fights soil compaction by spreading the weight of any traffic over a wide area.

Outstanding crew! Did and outstanding job. These folks are professional and polite. Even clean the place up afterwards. Other crews may get to you quicker than Ickes, but these guys are definitely worth the wait. Plan ahead, be patient, and you will be rewarded with the nicest group of men that work from the minute they show up till the moment they leave. Thanks for taking care of my Mom's place. Great job!

We have used Ickes Tree Service multiple times over the last 20 years. We have always found Gary to be very knowledgeable and personable. His crews perform the agreed on work quickly, safely, and as promised. I can highly recommend Ickes Tree Service for any tree related problems without any reservation.
