Branchburg runs from working farmland to newer subdivisions, and the two need different equipment. Tree service in Branchburg, NJ covers crane removals, rigging, pruning, stump grinding and land clearing.
Wayne’s has been in business since 1993 and is family-run today. Someone answers at any hour, the company is registered with the New Jersey Board of Tree Experts, and Peter Ahlert is the Licensed Tree Care Operator on the crew.
Tree removal in Branchburg can be a field-edge job on open ground or a tight back-yard take-down, and the price reflects which one you have. We prune to keep the healthy ones going, clear fence and paddock lines, grind the stumps out, and chip the brush on site rather than hauling it through your yard twice.

Branchburg runs from farmland to newer subdivisions, so the trees range from field-edge veterans to twenty-year-old yard trees. Big open lots let us use the crane and take a large tree down quickly and cleanly.
Trees on open ground grow wide and heavy on one side. We balance the crown and take out the dead limbs so the weight is spread properly before the next windstorm.
Room to plant properly here. We match the tree to the soil and to how much space it will really need when it is full grown, not how it looks at six feet tall.
This is good land clearing country. Fence lines, riding rings, building pads and overgrown corners along the river. We take the timber and brush out and grind the stumps.
Branchburg Measures Trees Around, Not Across, and It Matters
Branchburg is the one town near us that regulates by circumference rather than diameter, which catches people out. Under Article X of the Land Development Ordinance a residential lot stays exempt while you remove no more than 10 trees in any two-year period, and while each tree is under 75 inches around, roughly 24 inches across.
Cross either line and you need a tree removal permit from the Zoning Officer. Dead, dying, diseased and dangerously leaning trees are exempt, as are nurseries, orchards and Christmas tree farms, and land actively farmed under a filed tree inventory. Non-residential lots have a tighter test: a permit for more than five trees, or for any single tree 55 inches around.
Residential exemption: up to 10 trees, each 75 inches around or less, per two-year period; never trees required by an approved landscape or street-tree plan
Sizes are circumference: 75 inches around is roughly 24 inches across
Trees are regulated from 19 inches around (about 6 inches across)
Exempt: dead, dying, diseased or hazardous trees
Non-residential: permit for more than five trees in any two-year period, or any tree 55 inches around
Administered by the Zoning Officer (30 days on a single-family lot); anything not approved there goes to the Planning Board

Excellent crew that expertly lollipopped a huge oak to get it above my power lines. They also pruned a silver oak for me. The work was professional and the cleanup was perfect. Highly recommend Wayne’s.
Waynes tree service does the job RIGHT, They do exactly what they are supposed to do. They know about different trees and never leave a mess. I would suggest you call Waynes Tree Service for all your tree work.
I am getting my roof redone, and had a tree next to my house, which needed to be removed prior. I called Wayne’s Tree service and Dylan came out and gave me an estimate.
These guys were awesome!! I called on a Saturday, had a quote Monday morning and they removed our trees by Wednesday! They worked so hard, made sure they cleaned my yard, and I couldn’t be happier.
Thank you Dylan and your crew. You guys saved our boy’s two year old birthday party!! They’re professional and trustworthy!! They did exactly what we talked about in the contract and more!!
