Tree Removal
Garwood is under a square mile and the lots are small. There is usually no drop zone at all, so everything comes down on ropes in short pieces, clear of the fences and the neighbors.
What tree removal costs
Tree Service in Garwood, NJ

01 Locally Owned · Family-Run Crew How we work, and who we are
Tight-Lot Tree Work, Done Without Drama
On a Garwood lot with no drop zone, the crew is the safeguard rather than the equipment. Registered with the New Jersey Board of Tree Experts and insured for liability and workers' compensation, with Peter Ahlert as the Licensed Tree Care Operator on site.
Tree removal in Garwood happens in short pieces on ropes, clear of the fence, the wires and the neighbor’s roof. Tree trimming keeps the street trees off the gutters between times. Once the tree is down the stump is ground below grade and the brush chipped at the curb, so the driveway is clear the same day.

02 Our Services
Our Tree Services in Garwood, NJ
At Wayne’s Tree Service, we provide safe, affordable, and professional tree care for both homeowners and businesses.
Tree Trimming & Pruning
Tight streets mean trees growing straight into wires and over roofs. We take the dead wood out and cut back the branches crowding the house and the service line.
When to prune, by species
Stump Grinding & Removal
In a yard this size a stump is a real obstacle. We grind it low so you can put down grass, a shed or a patio and use the space.
Grinding vs. full removal
Tree & Shrub Planting
Only smaller trees really work on a Garwood lot. We help you pick one that fits and plant it far enough from the foundation and the walk.

Land Clearing
Narrow rear yards and boundary lines grow in fast. We clear the brush out and grind the stumps down.

24/7 Emergency Tree Service

How emergency call-outs work 03
Garwood’s New Tree Permit (Adopted December 2024)
Garwood is brand-new to tree permits, and most residents don’t know the rule exists yet. The borough adopted its Tree Removal and Replacement ordinance (Chapter 138, Article V) on December 5, 2024, part of the state stormwater push to cut erosion and runoff, so the requirements are fresh and easy to trip over.
- Hazard trees can come down with no fee or replacement, but you still file an application, even after the fact within two weeks, with written justification to the Shade Tree Officer.
- Residents removing fewer than four trees under 33 inches DBH in a five-year period are generally exempt from replacement requirements, but a tree 33 inches or bigger never is.
- Either way, you file: every non-street tree 6 inches DBH or larger, and street trees at 2 inches, need Shade Tree Officer approval before removal; violations run at least $300 a tree on top of the replacement cost.
We’ll walk your property and tell you plainly whether your job is exempt, whether it counts as a hazard removal, or whether it needs a full application, before any cutting. Filing it is on you; we don’t file permits. But in a borough that just turned this on, knowing the answer up front saves a fine.
