Tree Service in Long Branch, NJ

From the day you call, most non-emergency Long Branch removals are scheduled within 7–14 days. Storm-related work jumps the queue, after a major nor'easter we usually have crews in Long Branch within 24–48 hours for fallen trees on structures. Tree Removal Application processing through the city typically adds 2–4 weeks if a permit is required, which is why we recommend calling us BEFORE you submit the application: we prepare the arborist documentation in parallel so your timeline doesn't stretch.

Yes — same crew, same 24/7 line for both. Long Branch is the beach city; West Long Branch is the borough next door with Monmouth University. From Pier Village and Elberon down by the ocean to Broadway and Norwood Park, we work the whole Route 36 corridor every week.

A mature silver maple or sycamore on a normal residential lot runs $900–$2,600. Oceanfront Pier Village or Elberon lots that need crane access, or heritage trees near Monmouth University, push $2,500–$5,500. You'll get a line-item written quote with the insurance certificate before we start — no verbal-only estimates.

Eastern red cedar, Japanese black pine, black cherry, and London plane hold up best on the oceanfront blocks. Move a few streets inland toward West Long Branch and the Monmouth University corridor, and sugar maple and red oak do fine. We can walk you through species that match your specific lot.

For anything sizable, yes. Long Branch Code Chapter 319 requires an application for any street tree 2.5 inches DBH or bigger, or any non-street tree 6 inches DBH or bigger. Hazard trees can be exempt with arborist documentation. We prepare the paperwork; the permit itself stays the property owner's job.

West Long Branch is stricter — a permit is required for any tree, live or dead. The Shade Tree Commission meets the 2nd Thursday of the month (except July and December), the permit fee is $45, and the application goes to the Zoning Officer at 965 Broadway, Bldg. 2. Fines for skipping the permit are $100 base plus $1,000 per tree removed. We supply the arborist report you'll need.

Yes — we regularly service the residential blocks around the 155-acre campus. Work near Great Hall at Shadow Lawn (that's a National Historic Landmark, used in the 1982 film Annie) or the Murry Guggenheim House needs an arborist assessment first; we handle that too.

60–90 minutes is typical for active hazards in either town — tree on the house, blocking the road, on power lines. On-call 24/7/365. If it's on wires, we coordinate directly with JCP&L.
