Testimonials

We had a very large tree we needed removed and we got 3 quotes. Caffrey was very competitive on their bid so we went with them. I called and they said they’d get it on their books and would call me a day in advance. Well, they cut it down quickly and ground the stumps and roots completely. Then they cleaned up everything. It’s like the tree never existed! So, they were quick, clean, and effective. That’s about all I could ask for.

Amazing service, great price and professional, timely service. The Caffrey team was a pleasure to work with. They gave me their best price upfront, offered options, and beat the local discount tree service on every front. The work was scheduled immediately and they showed up on time. Clean-up was wonderful as well. They even called after the work to make sure the service went well. Highly recommend. We had 4 trees removed and property trimming. Now we have them coming back to replant!

After we bought our house, my wife and I had a wonderful experience with Caffrey’s tree removal service. They went above and beyond in clearing out both the front and back yards for us. Their pricing was extremely fair, and their crews were very skilled and professional. If you need tree removal done in the area, these guys are the ones to call!

FAQ

Do I need a permit to remove a tree in Mountainside?

Yes. The Borough of Mountainside has specific ordinances protecting trees, especially those of a certain caliper or located in the right-of-way. As NJ Licensed Tree Experts, we handle the permit application process for you, ensuring compliance with all local codes before any cutting begins. You can find an official application here.

Can you handle tree work on steep hills or slopes?

Absolutely. This is a common requirement in Mountainside. We are trained in technical tree removal on uneven terrain and have the specialized equipment to operate safely on slopes where bucket trucks might not reach.

My property is near the Reservation; do you offer deer-resistant options?

Yes. We know that deer pressure is high in Mountainside. When we design landscapes or recommend new trees, we prioritize species that are less attractive to local wildlife to ensure your investment survives.

What about large trees overhanging my house?

We specialize in hazardous limb removal. We can carefully prune back overhanging branches to protect your roof and gutters without compromising the health of the tree.

Are you fully insured for high-risk work?

Yes. We carry comprehensive liability and workers’ compensation insurance. All our projects are overseen by certified professionals, which is critical when dealing with the large, mature trees common in Mountainside.
