Emmaus backs onto the wooded slope of South Mountain, and homes on the edge of the woods face a particular problem: trees from the forest edge leaning toward houses, fences and sheds, often on sloped ground where equipment is hard to get in.
Work on a slope takes longer and needs more care, since cut sections can roll and lifts can't always be used. Expect the quote to reflect that. Before the crew starts, confirm exactly which trees are on your property; trees along a boundary may belong to a neighbor or the borough, and removing one that isn't yours can cause a dispute. If you're not sure where the line is, your deed or a survey will show it. Ask the company whether they'll leave firewood-length logs if you want them, since many homeowners near the woods do.
