Questions about Tree services in Edison, NJ

In New Jersey, how much ​does it cost to cut a tree?

​When estimating the cost of removing your tree, there are numerous factors to take into account. For a fair tree removal estimate, our tree specialists thoroughly inspect the tree, the property it's on, and its condition. First, let us help you obtain a better grasp of certain aspects included into pricing out the removal of a tree.

​Height and diameter of the tree:
The size of a tree on your land is the most evident factor. The difficulty of a tree removal job, as well as the amount of planning, time, and personnel required to securely remove the tree from your property, are determined by a tree's height and circumference. For instance, the price of a smaller tree that is 25 feet tall could range from $150 to $500. Yet, the price of tree removal increases to $200 to $1,000 after your tree exceeds 25 feet. The price to remove a tree can go up to $1,500 for trees taller than 75 feet.

Types of Trees:
The cost of tree removal services varies depending on the type of tree. Although deciduous trees (and some evergreens) predominate in New Jersey, there are some species with particular characteristics that have an impact on tree removal costs. For instance, the Oak tree, a typical tree in New Jersey, has very strong and sturdy wood, which increases the time and labor required to remove it from your land in a safe and effective manner.
Costs for an average oak tree removal range from $200 to $1,000. On the other hand, evergreen pine trees are easier to get rid of. Yet, they have the potential to grow much taller than the typical Oak, which could raise the cost of tree removal.

Health of the Tree:
When compared to a live, upright tree, a fallen dead tree is easier to remove. Depending on the size of the fallen tree and the cost of the removal, the cost of a dead tree might be as low as $75. Strong, living trees require more work to securely cut through and remove, which raises the cost to account for the additional labor required. The amount of labor required to remove a tree that is still standing but is dead, rotting, or diseased won't be as intensive as removing a tree that is alive, reducing costs and lowering the final cost.

In New Jersey, do I need a permit to remove a tree
​from my property?

A DLRP permit is not needed to cut down trees or remove tree limbs from private properties. Property owners should check with their local government to determine whether they have a strategy in place for debris collection.​
​Take note that any debris that is cleared away must be staged, transported, recycled, and/or disposed of in a
​ manner that is compliant with the relevant legislation for solid waste and recycling. Chips made from woody debris may be used, however they are not permitted to be deposited in floodplains or wetlands. The District Land Reclamation Program (DLRP) considers the placing of wood chips within regulated zones to be a regulated fill operation that requires a DLRP permit.
If any of the following apply to you, you will be required to obtain permission before felling or pruning any trees on your property:
  • It is covered by a tree preservation order – you will require permission from your local authority.
  • It is within a designated conservation area – you are required to notify your local authority to get permission.
  • It is within a SSSI or Site of Special Scientific Interest. Or ASSI in Northern Ireland. 
  • It is on a rented property – permission from the landlord is required and/or owner.

​What are the consequences of chopping down a tree in New Jersey without first obtaining the necessary permits?

If you remove trees without first obtaining the proper permits, you might face significant fines and penalties, including fines ranging from $250 to $1,500 for each tree you take down (for more information, see "Violations and Penalties").

Do you know the tree laws in NJ?

A New Jersey individual has the right to prune a neighbor's overhanging branches up to the boundary of their own property. If a homeowner decides to cut back the overhanging branches of a neighbor's tree, they must take care not to damage the tree itself. Any part of a tree, including its roots, branches, or limbs, that grows over your property line is likely to be a source of irritation.​
