Tree Removal
Middlesex is a compact borough near where the brook meets the river. Lots are modest and houses are close, so removals are rope-and-rigging work, lowered piece by piece.
What tree removal costs
Tree Service in Middlesex, NJ
Big street trees on tight Middlesex lots sit close to the houses and the wires, on ground that floods. Tree service in Middlesex, NJ is rigging work: removals, pruning and stump grinding, lowered rather than dropped.

A Crew That Knows Middlesex’s Flood-Prone Ground
Middlesex lots are tight and the ground floods, so the plan for getting a tree out matters as much as taking it down. Thirty-three years, the same phone number and 137 Google reviews behind it, registered with the New Jersey Board of Tree Experts, Peter Ahlert holding the operator license.
Tree removal in Middlesex is rigging work on tight lots, lowered rather than dropped, with the wires and the neighbor’s fence close by. Tree trimming keeps the big street trees clear of the roofline. Stumps are ground below grade and the brush chipped at the curb the same day.

Our Tree Services in Middlesex, NJ
Tree Trimming & Pruning
Older borough streets have trees well into the wires and over the roofs. We clear those back, take out the dead wood, and leave the tree in better shape for the next storm.
Our pruning service
Stump Grinding & Removal
A stump in a borough-sized yard is in the way of everything. We grind it well down so you can seed it, sod it or build on it.
Our Stump Grinding Experts
Tree & Shrub Planting
Smaller lots and damp ground near the brook narrow the options. We pick something suited to the site and plant it clear of the foundation and the walk.
Our Tree Planting Services
Land Clearing
Back lots along the brook grow in thick. We clear the brush and volunteer trees and grind the stumps out.
What land clearing involves

Middlesex Borough Regulates From 4 Inches, and Licenses the Contractor Too
Middlesex Borough sets one of the lower thresholds around here. Under Chapter 395 you need a tree removal project permit for any tree of 4 inches DBH or more, measured 54 inches above the ground, and the fee is $100. Where a removal goes with a new principal structure, no building permit issues until the tree permit is granted.
Two things to watch. Article II has no exemptions section at all: the code says trees may be removed “unless specifically exempted herein,” but no exemption list follows, so even dead and hazard trees are best treated as needing the permit, which the code allows on the grounds that a tree is dead, diseased or unsafe. And your contractor must hold a New Jersey Tree Care Operator or Tree Expert license; that one is state law, not a Borough rule.
- Permit required from 4 inches DBH, measured 54 inches up; any size for right-of-way trees, via the Shade Tree Commission
- Fee: $100 for a tree removal project permit
- Article II contains no exemptions list; treat dead and hazard trees as needing a permit
- Replacement runs from 4 trees up to 15 (dead and diseased excluded), or $400 to $900 per replacement tree owed, not per tree removed
- Administered by the Code Enforcement Officer; Shade Tree Commission for right-of-way trees

What Middlesex customers say about Wayne’s Tree Service
★★★★★
The storm had torn big branches from the trees in my backyard. I called Wayne’s Tree Service and met with them the next day.
★★★★★
Highly recommended. We recently hired Wayne’s Tree Service to remove multiple large trees and prune a few others.
★★★★★
Used Wayne’s twice now and the first tree was a complicated one growing around the power lines so some other tree removal businesses wouldn’t do it.
★★★★★
I had two very large trees that needed work do, and they came in and took care of it right away. Very reasonably priced and easy to work with, i will definitely be using them again.
★★★★★
I recommend them with no reservations. They honored a quote from last year, and did a quality job! Clean and efficient. If they saw additional trees for removal, they left the decision-making up to us.
★★★★★
Excellent service. Great crew clean and very professional. Would recommend them every time ....thanks
