Tree Removal in Livingston and Short Hills, NJ

When a tree needs to come down

Trees add a lot to a property, but some reach a point where keeping them is a risk. We will look at the tree with you and tell you honestly whether it should go or whether pruning or cabling can save it.

These are the most common reasons we remove a tree:

• The tree is dead or dying and dropping limbs
• Signs of disease or decay, like discolored leaves, odd growths or rotting bark
• A lean, a cracked trunk or broken limbs after a storm
• Roots pressing on a foundation or branches over the roof
• Clearing space for an addition, a driveway or new landscaping

How we take a tree down safely

Most trees in our neighborhoods are too close to houses, fences and wires to drop in one piece. We plan every removal around what is underneath, then cut and lower the tree in sections.

Our bucket trucks and crane let us reach trees in tight backyards and over roofs, so limbs come down under control instead of falling where they want. Safety for our crew and your property comes first on every job.

Cleanup and the stump

When the tree is down, we clean up the work area and load the wood onto our log trucks. You are not left with a pile of brush in the yard.

We can also grind the stump below ground level, so you can plant grass or landscape over the spot.

Why removal is not a DIY job

Pruning a small branch from the ground is one thing. Taking down a whole tree is another. A wrong cut can send a trunk into a house or a person, and amateur removals can cause serious injuries.
