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 Watchung, NJ?

Yes—Watchung generally requires a Tree Removal Permit before cutting down a tree. The Borough has different applications depending on whether there is land disturbance and whether the tree is dead/diseased/dying/hazardous. For hazard trees, permits are handled through the Borough Engineer (and removing six or more trees may also require Environmental Commission approval). It’s best to check the Borough’s current forms before scheduling removal.
