Tree Removal Service

Tree Removal

Trees planted too close to a house cost you twice — roots into the footings, limbs on the roof, gutters full every autumn. Taking one out before it does structural damage is cheaper than the repair, and far cheaper than an emergency call after it lands.

Tree Trimming & Pruning

Thinning the crown lets wind pass through the tree instead of pushing against it. A dense canopy acts like a sail, and it is usually the whole tree that goes over rather than a branch that breaks.

Stump Grinding and Removal

Stump Grinding & Removal

Grinding the stump is not the same as grinding the roots. On a big tree the surface roots run a long way, and if you plan to build or pave over the area we deal with those too rather than leave them to rot and subside.

What stump grinding costs
Tree & Shrub Planting service

Tree & Shrub Planting

Where you plant matters as much as what. Too close to a foundation, a walk or a septic field and you are choosing between the tree and the structure later on. We site it so that choice never comes up.

How we plant
Land Clearing Service

Land Clearing

Bare ground moves. Where we clear on any kind of slope we think about what the rain will do to it, because the erosion problem is more expensive to fix than the clearing was.

24/7 Emergency Tree Service

A tree on a power line is not ours to touch until the utility has made it safe, and it is not yours either. Call us and call them; we will tell you honestly which one has to happen first.

Bedminster's Tree Removal Rules — When You Actually Need a Permit

Bedminster does not work off a simple size limit the way most towns do. Under Chapter 12 of the Township Code, an ordinary single-family homeowner can take down up to 10 trees a year — as long as that is also under 10% of the trees on the lot — with no permit at all.

What pulls you back into the permit is position, not size. A tree 5 inches across or more within 10 feet of a property line counts if a neighboring house sits within 150 feet, and so does any work in a Township right-of-way, on slopes of 25% or steeper, within 100 feet of a ridge line, or in a mapped habitat area. Dead and diseased trees are exempt outright.

  • Permit trigger: more than 10 trees in a year, or more than 10% of the trees on your lot
  • Regulated size: 5 inches across, measured 4.5 feet up
  • Always needs a permit: a regulated tree within 10 ft of a property line where a home is within 150 ft
  • Exempt: dead or diseased trees, and nuisance species such as Ailanthus
  • Fee: $100 application, plus an inspection escrow set by the Township Engineer
  • Administered by the Township Engineer, through Code Enforcement at (908) 212-7000

Dylan, the owner of Wayne’s Tree Service returned my call the next day, came out on my schedule, gave me an estimate, then had the trees down and cleaned up before lunch the next day.

★★★★★
Wayne’s recently removed a rather large tree from our property. After a problematic experience with a different tree service, they were absolutely a breath of fresh air.
