Tree Removal
Edison is a large township with a wide mix of lots, from post-war streets to newer subdivisions. We use the crane where there is access and rope the tree down where there is not.
What tree removal costs
Tree Service in Edison, NJ
Edison neighborhoods were planted a street at a time, so the trees tend to need attention in the same season. Tree service in Edison, NJ covers removals, pruning, stump grinding and round-the-clock storm cleanup.

Licensed Tree Service in Edison, NJ
Edison is big, and a lot of our work here comes from neighbors who watched us on the street the week before. Two generations, thirty-three years, our own equipment, and a registration with the New Jersey Board of Tree Experts, with Peter Ahlert as Licensed Tree Care Operator.
Tree removal in Edison runs from a single dead ash out front to a rear parcel that needs clearing, and both get quoted after a walk rather than over the phone. Tree trimming and tree pruning keep the streets that were planted together from failing together. Stumps are ground below grade and the brush chipped on site.

Our Residential and Commercial Tree Services in Edison, NJ
At Wayne’s Tree Service, we deliver safe, affordable, and professional tree care for both homeowners and commercial properties throughout Edison.
Tree Trimming & Pruning
Whole streets here were planted at the same time, so the trees are all hitting full size together. We thin them, take out the deadwood and clear the roofs and wires.
How we prune
Stump Grinding & Removal
We grind the stump well below grade so you can seed over it, lay sod or replant the spot the same season.
Our Stump Grinding Experts
Tree & Shrub Planting
Subdivision soil is often compacted and poor. We pick a tree that can cope with it and plant at the right depth rather than burying the root flare.
More on planting
Land Clearing
Wooded rear parcels, building pads and overgrown boundaries. We haul out the timber and brush and take the stumps down flat.
How we clear a lot
24/7 Emergency Tree Service

Most Edison Homeowners Do Not Need a Tree Permit, Until They Do
Edison’s Chapter 25 opens with a broad rule, then hands single-family lots a wide exemption. If your house is already built and you are not putting up a new home or an addition that increases the size by more than half, trees on your lot are exempt from the permit, with one hard ceiling: you may not remove more than 20% of the existing tree cover without complying with the chapter.
Cross either line and you apply to the Township Engineer. The fee is $25 where no board approval is needed, or $200 where a removal permit and replacement plan go together. Dead, dying and diseased trees, and any tree whose angle of growth makes it a hazard to a structure or to people, are exempt from replacement, not from the permit itself. Where replacements cannot go in on site, the contribution is $300 per tree on a single-family lot.
- Existing single-family lots are exempt in most cases, but right-of-way trees need Engineer permission from 5 inches
- But never more than 20% of the existing tree cover without applying
- New construction or an addition over 50% larger removes the exemption
- Dead, dying, diseased or hazardously leaning trees: exempt from replacement, not from the permit
- Fee: $25, or $200 plus Land Use fees where a plan needs board approval
- Administered by the Township Engineer, Planning and Engineering
