Learn More About Us
South Plainfield’s varied landscape includes mature residential canopies, wetland forests in the Dismal Swamp, Woods — a 36-acre reserve with significant old-growth hardwoods.
The borough’s residential neighborhoods contain aging Norway maples, pin oaks, and sweetgums from the mid-century building era, many now in structural decline. Hurricane Ida (2021) and Tropical Storm Isaias (2020) caused significant tree damage, particularly in the Cedar Oaks and Kennedy School neighborhoods.
Our services include aging tree removal, preventive pruning, stump grinding, canopy management for HOA properties, and emergency storm response. We also serve South Plainfield’s commercial and industrial properties.
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.
More on tree removal
We prune to ANSI A300 — no topping, no stripping the inner growth. Topping a tree does not make it safer; it forces weak, fast regrowth that is more likely to fail in five years than what you started with.
Our Tree Trimming Services
Stumps are an open invitation. Carpenter ants and termites move into decaying wood, and once the colony is established it is a short trip to the shed, the deck or the house.
Our stump grinding service
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.
Choosing the right species
Access decides the price more than acreage does. If the equipment can reach the work the job is straightforward; if everything has to be dragged out by hand, that is the real cost.
More on land clearing
Storm work needs the equipment ready before the storm. Cranes and bucket trucks that are already ours, already serviced and already crewed are why we can answer on the night rather than take a message.
More on storm responseSouth Plainfield replaced a 1992 chapter with the current one in May 2024, written to the state stormwater model. A tree removal application goes to the Construction Official for any non-street tree of 6 inches DBH or more, or any street tree from 2.5 inches, and no tree is to come down until the Borough has approved it.
For an existing home the fee is $25; vacant land, commercial property and anything with a subdivision or site plan pays $100 an acre. Replacement runs one to four trees at a minimum 1.5 inch caliper, planted within twelve months and monitored for two years. Hazard trees come out with no fee and no replacement, with written justification — photographs, or a statement from a licensed tree expert.
Wayne’s tree service was great! We had an old growth oak tree fall in our yard after a big storm. Wayne’s tree guys showed up and quickly removed it!
Great local company for tree removal and pruning. Professional crew pays attention to detail and thoroughly cleans up after all work is completed.
Awesome experience using Wayne’s Tree Service. Removed two dead trees around powerlines to the house with no issues. Quick, and clean up was great! Reasonable price. Takes care to protect the lawn.
Dylan and the crew of Wayne’s Tree Service did outstanding work removing a tree from our front yard. They were on time, worked carefully and left everything clean! I would highly recommend Wayne’s Tree Service!
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.
The storm had torn big branches from the trees in my backyard. I called Wayne’s Tree Service and met with them the next day.
