Tree Removal
Warren is wooded ridge country with large lots and tall trees. Access is often the hard part: narrow drives and trees behind the house. We rig them down in sections rather than dropping them.

Licensed Tree Service Warren, NJ
In Warren the driveway often decides the price, so we look before we quote rather than guessing from the curb. It is a family company registered with the New Jersey Board of Tree Experts, with Peter Ahlert holding the operator license and his son Dylan running the crews.
Tree removal in Warren is decided at the top of the driveway: if the truck fits, the crane does the lifting; if it does not, the tree is climbed and rigged out in pieces. Pruning keeps the tall ones off the roofline, stumps are ground below grade, and the brush is chipped on site.
Why Warren Homeowners Call Us

02 Our Services
Our Residential and Commercial Tree Services in Warren, NJ
At Wayne’s Tree Service, we offer reliable, expert tree care across Warren, NJ.
Tree Trimming & Pruning
Forest-grown trees on these lots carry their weight high and shed limbs in wind. We take out the dead wood and give the roof and the drive some clearance.
Our Tree Trimming Services
Stump Grinding & Removal
Wooded lots mean root plates and rocky ground. We grind the stump six to ten inches down and clean up the chips so the spot can be seeded or planted.

Tree & Shrub Planting
Under a mature canopy only certain things will grow. We pick shade-tolerant trees and shrubs that will actually establish rather than sit there and sulk.

Warren Regulates From 5 Inches, and Has No Hazard-Tree Exemption
Warren’s Chapter 17 is older than the state model ordinance most towns copied, and it differs in two ways that matter. First, a regulated tree starts at over 5 inches across rather than the usual six, and dogwood, ironwood and American hornbeam are protected from just 2.5 inches. Second, and unusually, the exemption list contains no general allowance for dead, diseased or dangerous trees.
That second point is the one to know. In most of our towns a hazard tree comes out with no permit and no replacement; in Warren the exemptions cover nurseries, orchards, farm woodlots, utility rights-of-way and sight easements, but not hazard trees as a category. The permit is $25 per lot through the Zoning Office. There is also a limit worth checking on hillside lots: removal is prohibited on slopes of 15% or steeper, in wetlands and in the floodplain where the Township Engineer finds it would worsen run-off, unless erosion controls approved by the Somerset County Conservation District are used.
- Regulated size: over 5 inches across (2.5 inches for dogwood, ironwood, American hornbeam)
- No general dead, diseased or hazard-tree exemption in the ordinance
- Fee: $25 application, $25 per acre or part acre inspection, plus escrow for any expert review
- Removal barred on 15%+ slopes, wetlands and floodplain where run-off would worsen, unless County-approved controls are used
- The Township’s zoning page mentions roughly four trees per acre a year; that figure is not in the ordinance text, so we confirm it before relying on it
- Zoning Officer for clearing under 50% of the lot or half an acre; larger goes to the Planning Board
