Frequently Asked Questions
Still have questions?
We answer the phone 24/7. Ask us anything about your trees.
How much does tree removal cost in Somerville, NJ?
Tree removal costs depend on the tree’s size, condition, and location. A large tree near a home or power lines may cost more due to safety measures. We always provide a free, no-obligation estimate so you know the price upfront.
Can you remove trees close to houses, power lines, or structures?
Yes. Our team uses advanced equipment and proven techniques, including cranes when needed, to safely remove trees in tight spaces without damaging your property.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. Wayne’s Tree Service is a New Jersey registered tree care business (NJTC Registration #806860), and we keep a Licensed Tree Care Operator on staff (Peter Ahlert, LTCO #565), as New Jersey law requires. We’re also fully insured and bonded.
Do you offer emergency tree service?
Absolutely. We provide 24/7 emergency tree removal and storm cleanup in Somerville and nearby communities. Call us anytime if a fallen or hazardous tree is putting your property at risk.
Do I need a permit to remove a tree on my property?
Some New Jersey towns require a permit to remove a tree, especially a large or protected one. Filing it is the property owner’s job and we don’t file permits, but we’ll tell you whether your tree needs one before we quote.
What’s the difference between stump grinding and stump removal?
Stump grinding shreds the stump below ground level so you can replant or landscape over it. Stump removal extracts the entire root system, which is more intensive but ensures nothing grows back.
Do you provide residential and commercial tree services?
Yes. We handle projects of all sizes, from pruning backyard trees to clearing lots for commercial and municipal developments.
How do I know if my tree is diseased or needs to be removed?
Warning signs include dead branches, cracks in the trunk, leaning, root damage, or visible pests. Our Licensed Tree Care Operator can assess the tree and recommend whether trimming or removal is best.
Do you offer tree planting services?
Yes. We can recommend the right species for your property and climate, then plant them properly to ensure healthy growth and long-term success.
Is an arborist the same as a Licensed Tree Care Operator?
Not exactly. “Arborist” is a general term for a tree professional. In New Jersey, the state licenses are Licensed Tree Expert (LTE) and Licensed Tree Care Operator (LTCO), and tree care businesses must register with the NJ Board of Tree Experts. Wayne’s is NJTC #806860, with a Licensed Tree Care Operator on staff (LTCO #565).
Who do I call when a tree falls on my house?
If wires are down or touching the tree, stay at least 30 feet away and call 911 or your power company first. Then call your homeowner’s insurance, and call us at (732) 805-0609, any hour. We document the damage with photos to help your claim.
