Gilbert is a small West End community in Monroe County — about 430 residents at the 2020 census, straddling Eldred Township and Ross Township along PA-517. Most people in Monroe County know Gilbert for one thing: the West End Fair. The fairgrounds on PA-517 have been an anchor of this community for a long time. If you live in Gilbert or anywhere nearby in the West End, you have probably been there.
Gouger's Tree Care is about twenty minutes from Gilbert via PA-33 south to PA-115 west to PA-517 north. Ryan knows this part of Monroe County — the same Eldred Township and Ross Township jurisdictions that cover Kunkletown and Saylorsburg are the governing bodies here.
Rural Lots in a Small Community
Gilbert's residential properties are largely rural — wooded lots, some acreage, the kind of land that does not get a lot of municipal tree maintenance. When a tree on a private property becomes a hazard or needs to come down, the homeowner handles it. In a community of 430 people, there are no volume discounts or corporate contracts doing that work. Every job is one homeowner calling one tree service.
Ryan treats it exactly that way. Free estimate, show up when he says he will, bring the right equipment, get the tree down, clean up and leave the yard the way he found it.
Eldred Township and Ross Township: Home Jurisdiction
The governing overlap matters here. Gilbert straddles the same township line as Kunkletown (Eldred) and Saylorsburg (Ross). Ryan has pulled permits through both township offices. If your property sits in Eldred Township, the process is the same as for a Kunkletown job. If you are in Ross Township, same as Saylorsburg. Either way, it is not unfamiliar ground.
For small communities like Gilbert where no tree service has ever bothered to write a page, that township familiarity is part of what separates Gouger's from a company running a service-area ad.

Tree Removal Cost in Gilbert
Cost depends on the tree. Size, species, location on the property relative to structures, and access for the equipment all factor in. Lot clearing for a larger rural parcel is a different calculation than a single removal near the house. Ryan walks every property before he quotes it.
