Where the access allows it, the crane does the job in fewer, heavier pieces. Less time with a climber in the tree, less time with weight swinging over the house, and a faster clean-up. It is the safest way we have to take down a big declining tree.
What tree removal costs
Branches resting on a roof are a slow leak waiting to happen. They hold moisture against the shingles, drop debris into the gutters, and give squirrels a bridge into your attic. Clearance pruning solves all three at once.
Our pruning service
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.
Our Stump Grinding Experts
Planted too deep is the quiet killer. The root flare — where the trunk widens at the base — has to sit at or just above grade. Bury it and the tree can take years to fail, long after anyone connects the two.
Our Tree Planting Services
Selective clearing is usually the better call. Taking out the poor and the dying while keeping the sound specimens leaves you with usable ground and a property that still looks like something.
What land clearing involves
A trunk across the driveway is not just inconvenient — it can put you on the wrong side of an ambulance route. We clear access first and deal with the rest of the tree afterwards.
Our emergency serviceMiddlesex Borough sets one of the lower thresholds around here. Under Chapter 395 you need a tree removal project permit for any tree of 4 inches DBH or more, measured 54 inches above the ground, and the fee is $100. Where a removal goes with a new principal structure, no building permit issues until the tree permit is granted.
Two things to watch. Article II has no exemptions section at all — the code says trees may be removed “unless specifically exempted herein,” but no exemption list follows, so even dead and hazard trees are best treated as needing the permit, which the code allows on the grounds that a tree is dead, diseased or unsafe. And the Borough separately licenses landscaping and tree companies under Chapter 254, which is a requirement on your contractor rather than on you.
Had someone come out for an estimate for two tree removals along fence lines and dead branches removed from a large tree near the house. Was quoted a very fair price.
Great job done by Wayne’s Tree Removal. That came on time and cleaned up the backyard nicely.
I just had a large tree trimmed by Wayne’s Tree Service. From the initial visit for the estimate to the final clean-up the service was responsive and professional.
Wayne’s crew arrived as promised and removed a massive sick white ash that was in the middle of a grouping of bushes surrounded by a stone wall. The lawn was covered with plywood to protect from falling debris.
We highly recommend Wayne’s Tree Service!! They removed 3 1/2 large maples and did an excellent job, even on the clean up. Crew was hard working, polite and professional.
Pete & team were very professional. They arrived on time and did a great job with removing the tree (including the stump) and as well as trimming the branches.
