Tree Removal in New Jersey

How much does it cost to remove a tree in South Jersey?

Price is driven by height, trunk diameter, lean, and what sits underneath the tree. A 40-foot pine in an open back yard is straightforward. The same tree leaning over a roof, a pool or a power drop needs rigging, and sometimes a crane, which changes the number. We give a written price after seeing the tree.

Do you remove the stump too?

Stump work is quoted separately because not everyone wants it. If you plan to replant, lay sod or pour a patio, you want the stump and surface roots ground out. If the stump is in a wood line where nobody will see it, cutting it low is often enough. See stump grinding for how that process works.

Does my homeowners insurance cover tree removal?

Generally a policy responds after a tree has fallen and damaged a covered structure, not to the cost of removing a healthy or declining tree as maintenance. Removing a hazardous tree before it fails is usually the owner’s expense, which is why it is cheaper to act early. Check your specific policy with your carrier.

How do I know if a tree needs to come down?

Warning signs include a large dead limb over a target, fungal conks at the base, a seam or crack running down the trunk, soil heaving on one side, and a canopy that leafs out thin and late compared with its neighbours. Some of these are treatable with pruning; others mean the tree is already unsafe. Have someone look before a storm decides for you.

Will you damage my lawn getting the equipment in?

We plan access before the crew arrives and use mats and plywood on soft ground. On a wet spring lawn we will often recommend waiting a few days rather than rutting the yard. Our process page walks through what happens from the first call to final cleanup.
