I highly recommend Lyle Blum Tree Service. I had many trees pruned, and several dead or leaning trees removed. Lyle and his crew were professional, efficient and clearly knew what they were doing. They were exactly on time, did exactly what I asked for, and cleaned up perfectly. And the cost was reasonable. I will not hesitate to use them in the future!
Thank you, Lyle!

I wanted to say thank you to the crew that was out on Crest Drive in Ohara Township today. My children and I watched the entire process of cutting down a tree and the crew was kind enough to come over and show the kids the baby squirrels that they rescued who unknowingly lived in the tree.
I was impressed with the efficiency and professionalism of the crew, and the few moments they took to engage my kids were much appreciated. It wasn’t my tree/contract, but I’ll certainly remember your company when we do need work done.
Thanks again!

Hello Lyle,
Two seasons ago, you trimmed my Princess Powlina tree; I wanted
to let you know it has bloomed beautifully this year. The tree is full
of blossoms and is so symetrical after your trimming. Thanks so much; it
looks beautiful.
Sincerely.... Mary Lou Brososky, Coraopolis, PA
“Lyle did the following work for me in January 2012:
1. Felled a large split oak tree and cut into 18 inch lengths - Estimated height of tree 60 feet.
2. Felled an Ash tree that was dead and cut into 18 inch lengths - 40 feet high.
3 Made a dead tree that had fallen in a storm into woodland safe.
4. Ground the Stump of the large oak tree aprox 18inches below the surface.
Note as agreed, he left me to dispose of the wood, this kept costs competitive.
The wood and brush was stacked into piles where appropriate.
He turned up on time to quote the work. He communicated any delays on the
job promptly and professionally, this was due to bad weather. I felt comfortable
enough through the prior work he had done for me that I did not need to be
present to supervise his work.
I would recommend Lyle for any tree services large or small. He has done
numerous jobs for me over the last 6 years, both large and small. He has
removed large tree limbs that over hung my house, and made tree limbs that
have fallen in storms safe.”

“Our experience with Lyle Blum Tree Service was exceptional. While working
through the initial estimate, Lyle was very knowledgeable about the tree work
that needed to be done in such close proximity to our home and offered expert
advise on the trees that we wanted to save on our property. He was patient when
explaining the health of each tree and how to care for and maintain them. While
his services include insect and disease control for trees and shrubs, he was very
honest in assessing that our trees were in good health and advised us on what to
keep an eye on going forward.
The quote that I received was 1/2 that of any other service that had quoted the
work. The day of our service, Lyle and his assistant arrived punctually early that
morning and began working immediately, stopping only briefly for lunch.
They were professional and mannerly and most importantly paid extra close
attention to the safety of our small children as well as our home.
Once the tree work was completed all debris was cleared and our yard was left
exactly how they found it (minus a few trees). The entire job was completed
in the time frame that was anticipated and we were charged exactly what we
were quoted, even though some of the work was more involved and extensive
than what was originally thought. I would absolutely recommend Lyle Blum Tree
Service to anyone needing help with their trees!”

“I contacted Lyle with no prior work history with him, (My former tree climber
retired). He returned my call within 24 hours, and I met him for an estimate within
two days.
He informed me that he didn't work weekends so he could be with his kids. I
respect that!
He also looked at some work that my neighbor needed done. We hired him
within two weeks of the estimate. He removed large branches from three oaks
that threatened my house and the neighbors fence without any damage. He also
pruned an oak that shaded my deck... also with no damage to the roof or the
deck.
Lyle was punctial, and I was very pleased with his work. He cleared a path for
me to get to my garage even though this was not part of the job. His job was to
drop the tree/branches only. The customer is responcible for the clean-up as
was made quite clear to me during the estimate. If you need a professional Tree
Climber and you have the means to clean-up the debris, I highly reccomend Lyle.
The price was right, and when you meet him, you'll know he's the man for the
job.”
---Lee A Wilson, Allison Park PA
“I called Lyle on Monday and he was promptly at my house (on time) for our following
Friday appointment.
I have 2 problem trees, one I hoped to save and one I wondered how long it could safely
survive. He spent an hour looking at my trees, explaining options, answering questions
and providing a clear and itemized estimate. His prices seemed reasonable and were
less than a previous company that I'd used last year.
He said he's been in this business for 20 years. He is also an arborist, which was needed
since one of my trees has a birch boring disease and requires more specialized care.
Anyway, I'm still deciding whether to sink the money into saving the tree or cutting it
down. It's a hard decision because cutting it down is cheaper. In any case, I’ll use Lyle
when I make my decision. He even made a follow up call the next week.
I was very satisfied with his service and am glad he is in business.”

I was referred by a trusted friend to use Lyle Blum LLC for some
tree work I needed. He was knowledgeable and offered a great
solution and a fair price to trim low hanging limbs and dead
limbs. I had low hanging limbs that needed trimmed. He also
removed some dead limbs on another tree for no extra cost!!
I felt wonderful when the service was completed! I can mow the
lawn without ducking under low limbs!!
I am a repeat costumer of Lyle Blum Tree Service. He also
removed a huge tree that had fallen on our deck (and destroyed
it.) He came the following day to remove the debris.
Lyle is trustworthy and dependable - not like other services that
never even return my calls. I would recommend him again and
again.

Lyle Blum Tree Service cut down two large trees in my yard.
This was a huge help because one of the trees was dying and
we had fear that it would fall on to our neighbor’s house. I was
completely satisfied with all the work Lyle and this crew did.
Lyle and his crew were very professional and did a wonderful
(and safe) job. They left my yard in pristine condition. I would
highly recommend him and his crew to ANYONE! I will use Lyle
Blum Tree Service for all of my future tree needs at my house.
-Beth Kunzler, Ross Township
I had Lyle Blum Tree Service come and remove several evergreen
trees because of over crowding. I have used Lyle's service since
he started because he is a hard working young man and does a
good job. Lyle did a nice job for me! Nice work guys!!!
