Experienced landscapers and arborists in Summit, NJ
Summit is famous for its tree-lined streets and turn-of-the-century homes—until a wind-whipped silver maple starts brushing a slate roof on Springfield Avenue. Big maples and oaks shade streets like Springfield and Hobart, but storm winds and heavy snow can turn those same trees into hazards. A cracked limb over the driveway, roots lifting a sidewalk, or an ash weakened by pests—these are common problems we see every week.
That’s where Caffrey Tree & Landscape comes in. For 45 years our family team has cabled historic beeches off Hobart Avenue, cleared storm-snapped limbs after sudden gusts, and installed plantings that thrive in Summit’s rocky, well-drained soils. We handle the full spectrum of care: formative pruning that shapes young oaks, strategic tree removal when a fungus-stricken ash threatens the patio, stump grinding that opens room for new landscape plans, and plant-health treatments that fortify dogwoods and hollies against humid Jersey summers and icy mid-winter fronts. We even guide you through Summit’s Shade Tree Advisory Board permit process so paperwork never delays urgent work.
In short, we understand Summit’s unique micro-climate, hillside soils, and municipal rules as well as we know our chainsaws and climbers. Put that knowledge to work for your home, and enjoy a Summit landscape that looks as refined as the city itself—season after season.

Exceptional Service from Start to Finish – Highly Recommend!!
I recently hired Caffrey Tree Service for a cutting job, and I’m thoroughly impressed. Denilson was fantastic to work with, taking the time to address all our questions and ensuring our needs were met. The team was not only professional and courteous but also handled an unexpected challenge — securing permits — with ease, saving us time and stress.
They were considerate of our neighbors and took great care to avoid any disruption. The work was completed efficiently, and the site was left spotless — their attention to detail and commitment to quality were evident throughout. I couldn’t be more pleased with the experience. Highly recommend Caffrey Tree Service!
After we bought our home last year we realized upon closer inspection that one of our trees at the trunk was severely eroded and the tree itself was leaning towards our neighbors garage and pool. Bob came out and inspected it and walked us through options. The tree removal was scheduled less than 2 weeks later. No direct access to our yard with a fence so with permission from our neighbor the 5 man crew came in and less than 2 hours you wouldn’t even know a tree was there. Up and over the fence the crew scaled the tree making perfect cuts and the large crane took it away. Very impressive and experienced work. Cleaned all the debris. Tight space but his crew handles it professionally. Bob took great care of us with a reasonable price. Hopefully we won’t have anymore leaning trees but if we do we will call Caffrey Tree & Landscape without hesitation.
Had a really great experience with Caffrey. Needed help removing a tree that grew sideways and was in danger of taking out our fence. Bobby came out and talked us through everything. We also opted to have them help remove the dead parts of our large oak and trim back everything that was touching the house. The price was fair and they came in a couple of weeks. The four guys who arrived to do the work were very respectful of the property and got it all done in about 7 hours. They cleaned up all the debris and really made everything look great. Our fence is saved! And in the heat wave we’re in it was even more impressive. Highly recommended. Would use them again whenever needed.
