Safe. Local. Insured.
Big trees in tight spaces? We’ve got you covered. New Jersey Tree Professionals provides expert tree removal, pruning, and 24/7 emergency response across Bergen County. We focus on keeping your property safe and your trees healthy.
Bergen County averages about 48 to 50 inches of rain and snow per year, usually peaking during heavy spring rains and late-winter Nor’easters. In towns like Ridgewood, Paramus, and Teaneck, dense clay soils get soaked and stay saturated for long periods. This is the main reason for root instability and sudden uprooting in this area. When you combine that wet ground with the high-velocity wind gusts common in North Jersey, even a healthy-looking Oak or Maple can become a major risk. We know these local patterns and help homeowners spot “leaners” and high-risk trees before the next storm hits.

Tree Trimming and Pruning in Bergen County
Proper maintenance is the best way to avoid a disaster during the next Nor’easter. Our arborists don’t just “hack” at your trees; we prune based on the specific species and growth patterns.
In towns like Paramus and Fair Lawn, unmaintained branches often lead to roof damage or blocked views. Our tree trimming services focus on:
- Structural Integrity: Reducing the weight on heavy limbs to prevent splitting.

- Seasonal Health: Timing our cuts to promote growth and disease resistance.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a permit to remove a tree on my property?
In most Bergen County towns, yes. Municipalities like Ridgewood, Wyckoff, and Glen Rock have strict ordinances. If a tree is over a certain diameter, you typically need a permit from the Town Hall or Shade Tree Commission. We know the local codes and can help you with the paperwork.
What is happening to the Beech trees in my neighborhood?
If you see dark “striping” on leaves in Englewood or Tenafly, it is likely Beech Leaf Disease. This was first spotted in Bergen County a few years ago and is very aggressive. We can assess your trees and suggest treatment options to save them.
Can you get a crane into a narrow driveway in Teaneck or Fair Lawn?
That is what we do best. Bergen County is known for narrow lots and houses built close together. We use specialized equipment to remove huge trees from tiny backyards without hitting your siding or your neighbor’s fence.
There is a tree between the sidewalk and the street. Is that mine?
In towns like River Edge or Oradell, that is usually a “Borough Tree.” You usually cannot hire a private company to touch those. You should call your local DPW. However, if those branches are hitting your house, we can help you evaluate the risk.
How do I prepare my trees for a Jersey winter?
Heavy ice and snow are the biggest threats to the “evergreen walls” common in Franklin Lakes and Saddle River. We recommend structural pruning in the fall to remove weak limbs before they snap under the weight of a Nor’easter.
When should trees be trimmed in Bergen County?
Dormant seasons are ideal for most pruning. However, hazardous limbs should be addressed immediately, regardless of the time of year. Our arborists recommend pruning schedules based on tree type and condition.
