Tannersville is in Pocono Township, about twenty minutes from Gouger's Saylorsburg base via PA-33 north to I-80 east to PA-715 north. The area runs on two things: Camelback Mountain Resort and Pocono Premium Outlets at I-80 Exit 299. Both bring traffic, both bring development, and the residential and vacation properties surrounding them have dense, mature tree canopies that require regular work.
Vacation Property Owners Need a Crew That Answers Weekends
Here is the problem with owning a second home near Camelback: when a tree comes down on a Saturday night in a winter storm, you are not there. You find out Sunday morning. You start calling tree services and you get voicemail at two of the three, because two of your closest options — Earth and Lumber Tree Service and Mountain Tree Service — do not work weekends.
Gouger's does. Ryan runs seven days a week, 24/7 for emergencies. When the storm hits Friday and you are driving up from New Jersey on Saturday morning, Ryan can have a crew there to assess and clear the damage before you pull in the driveway.
That is not a small thing when a tree is through your roof.
Ice Loading on Resort-Adjacent Properties
Tannersville sits at 892 feet elevation in Pocono Township. White pine and Norway spruce are the dominant trees on properties around the resort and along the residential corridors off PA-715. Both species collect ice during winter storms in ways that lead to crown failure — tops split, major limbs come down, and trees that looked fine in October are hazards by February. A wet ice storm at this elevation can bring down a Norway spruce that has been standing for thirty years.
If you have white pine or spruce close to the house or car on your Tannersville property, the time to deal with them is before the storm, not after. Ryan gives free on-site estimates and will tell you honestly what is worth removing now versus what can wait.
Pocono Township Governs Here
Permit questions for Tannersville properties go to Pocono Township supervisors. Tannersville is in Pocono Township, which is a separate governing body from Tobyhanna Township (which governs Pocono Lake to the north) or the West End townships like Chestnuthill and Eldred. If you are not sure whether your removal requires a permit, Ryan can walk you through what Pocono Township requires. He deals with permit questions across Monroe County regularly.

Tree Removal Cost in Tannersville

Vacation property situations sometimes have access limitations or absentee-owner logistics that affect scheduling. Ryan accounts for that when he quotes.
