Tree Removal
New Brunswick is dense city ground with old trees on small lots and busy streets. Removals are planned around access and traffic, and everything is roped down in pieces rather than felled.

A Crew Built for Hub City Tree Work
Half a New Brunswick job is getting to the tree: parking, traffic, and a lot that leaves no room. We plan that before quoting, so the price holds. You get a written price and a date we keep, from a company registered with the New Jersey Board of Tree Experts and running under Peter Ahlert’s operator license.
Tree removal in New Brunswick is as much a logistics job as a climbing one: parking, traffic, and a lot with no room to work. We plan the access first, then rig the tree down in pieces. Pruning keeps the older street trees safe between times, and stumps are ground below grade with the brush chipped on site.

- Tight-access removals planned around traffic and pedestrians

02 Our Services
Our Tree Services in New Brunswick, NJ
Tree Trimming & Pruning
City trees carry dead wood over sidewalks, cars and porches. We clear it out and cut the canopy back from the buildings and the service lines.
How we prune
Stump Grinding & Removal
Space is tight and a stump wastes it. We grind it low so the ground can be paved, planted or put back to grass.
Our Stump Grinding Experts
Tree & Shrub Planting
The wrong city tree lifts pavement and gets into utilities. We pick a species sized for the spot and plant it where it will not cause damage later.
More on planting
Land Clearing
Back lots and side yards in the city overgrow fast. We take out the brush and the volunteer trees and grind every stump.
How we clear a lot
24/7 Emergency Tree Service
Big trees over city streets and parked cars make storm damage serious. We answer at any hour and work around access and traffic to get it cleared.
What to do when a tree falls 03 Local Rules
New Brunswick Counts Trees Over Two Years, Not One at a Time
New Brunswick’s Chapter 8.48 has a general rule against removing any tree of 6 inches DBH or more, but for an ordinary residential lot the operative test is a counting one. On a lot under twice the required minimum size, the permit obligation starts at five or more trees of 10 inches DBH or greater in a two-year period; on a larger lot, more than six. The City’s own application form asks exactly those questions, which is the clearest sign of how it is applied.
The review fee is $100. Replacement is generous in scale: three 3-inch caliper trees for a 6 to 12 inch removal, rising to ten for a 30 to 36 inch tree, or $80 per caliper inch into the Tree Preservation Trust Fund. Dead, dying, diseased and damaged trees are exempt, as is any tree whose angle of growth makes it a hazard, and any tree causing structural damage to a building or foundation.
- Residential trigger: five or more trees of 10 inches DBH or more in two years
- Larger lots: more than six trees over the same period
- Fee: $100 review fee
- Exempt: dead, dying, diseased, damaged, hazardously leaning or causing structural damage, unless planted under an approved landscape or street-tree plan
- Replacement: 1 to 10 trees by size and more above 36 inches; $80 per caliper inch to the Trust Fund only where the City finds they cannot go on site
- Administered by the Division of Planning, City Hall
