Why Springfield
What we see on the ground
Springfield asks for a permit before you take down most trees. If the trunk is more than 4 inches across, measured about 4.5 feet off the ground, the township wants a permit first.
The permit costs $75 and covers up to two trees. More trees in the same 12 months cost $100 each, and a permit is good for 90 days.
Springfield also expects tree companies working in town to be registered with the Township, and it asks for replacement trees based on how big the removed tree was.
Local rules change. Confirm the current details with the township before work starts.

Questions
Tree questions in Springfield
- Do I need a permit to remove a tree in Springfield?
- Usually, yes. Springfield requires a permit for any tree with a trunk over 4 inches across, measured 4.5 feet above the ground. The fee is $75 for up to two trees, with each extra tree in a 12-month span costing $100, and the permit lasts 90 days. You may also need to plant replacement trees based on the size of what comes down. Rules like these can change, so confirm the current details with the township before any work starts.
- How long do I have to finish the work once I have a Springfield permit?
- Springfield permits are valid for 90 days. It makes sense to get your free estimate and schedule the job before you apply, so the work fits inside that window.
- Does the tree company have to be approved by Springfield?
- Springfield requires tree contractors to be registered with the Township to work in town. Ask the township office which companies are currently on its list before you book.
- Do you work near the Cannonball House in Springfield?
- Yes. We work on homes and businesses near the Cannonball House, the restored museum home that still shows the scar of a British cannonball from the Battle of Springfield in June 1780, and on the streets all around it. Call for a free estimate on any tree on your property.
