O'Brien Tree Care has served Ambler (ZIP 19002), a walkable historic borough, and surrounding Bucks and Montgomery County communities for over 22 years — built on the family's roots dating back to 1979, when Tom O'Brien founded O'Brien Family Tree Service. Being rooted right here means we respond faster — often same-day or next-day — for tree removal, pruning, trimming, stump grinding, or emergency storm damage. Our crew knows Ambler's local tree species, soil conditions, and county regulations better than any franchise, so every job gets done right the first time.
As a woman-owned local business, we take extra pride in every job we do in Ambler — from properties near the Butler Pike downtown to side streets throughout the borough. We provide honest upfront pricing, stand fully behind our work, and treat every yard as our own. Call us at 215-757-1542 for a free estimate.

We work in tight residential lots and on large wooded properties alike, and we know the tree species and soil conditions common throughout Montgomery County.
Learn about Tree Removal →Regular pruning keeps your trees healthier, safer, and better-looking. Our crews handle crown cleaning, deadwood removal, and structural pruning for Ambler homeowners — trimming branches that overhang roofs, threaten utility lines, or rub and damage each other. In Pennsylvania, late winter before bud break is the best window for most species, though we advise on timing specific to your trees.
Learn about Pruning & Trimming →After a tree comes down, the stump invites pests, catches mower blades, and looks unfinished. We grind stumps down below grade at your Ambler property, leaving the site ready to replant, sod, or pave over. Our equipment handles stumps of all sizes — from ornamentals to large-diameter hardwoods — and we clean up the grindings when we're done.
Learn about Stump Grinding →Some removals aren't possible with a chainsaw and bucket truck alone. When a tree is over a structure, in a tight backyard, or has come down in a storm, we bring in our crane to lift sections out cleanly without further damage to your property. We also respond quickly to storm damage calls throughout Ambler — typically same-day or next-day — to assess and clear fallen or compromised trees before they cause more problems.
Learn about Crane Services →Beyond tree work, we shape and trim hedges, boxwoods, arborvitae, hollies, and ornamental shrubs for Ambler homeowners looking to keep their landscaping polished and healthy. Properly timed seasonal trimming not only looks better — it keeps your plants from becoming overgrown and dense at the center, which leads to dieback and bare patches over time. We handle everything from clean hedge lines to elaborate ornamental shaping.
Learn about Hedge & Shrub Styling →Fall is the best time to see a tree's true structure in Ambler — the canopy opens up as leaves drop, wounds seal before winter stress sets in, and scheduling is easier than spring. If you've been thinking about pruning or removing a tree, now is the window. Call 215-757-1542 for a free estimate.

Yes — the spotted lanternfly is well-established throughout Montgomery County and stresses trees significantly. It doesn't kill trees outright, but heavy infestations weaken oaks, maples, and other hardwoods over time. If you have heavily infested trees, we can assess whether removal or treatment makes more sense for your property.
It depends on your specific township — some municipalities in Montgomery County require permits for residential tree removal above a certain size. When we come out for your free estimate, we can advise you on any local permit requirements so there are no surprises.
For most deciduous trees in PA, late winter (February–March) before bud break is ideal — trees are dormant, wounds seal faster, and disease risk is lowest. Oaks especially should only be pruned when dormant to prevent oak wilt. We'll advise on the right timing for your specific trees in Ambler.
