Why Essex Fells
What we see on the ground

Questions
Tree questions in Essex Fells
- Do I need a permit to remove a tree in Essex Fells?
- It depends on the tree. A standard deciduous or evergreen tree needs a permit if its trunk is more than 6 inches across at 4.5 feet up. An ornamental tree needs one if its trunk is more than 3 inches across at 4 feet up. Ask the Borough about fees and any exceptions. Rules like these can change, so confirm the current details with the township before any work starts.
- What counts as an ornamental tree in Essex Fells?
- Ornamental trees are the smaller flowering or decorative kinds. Because their permit cutoff is just 3 inches, even a modest one may need a permit. We can point out which trees on your lot are which during the free estimate.
- Do you work near Grover Cleveland Park and the Pond?
- Yes. We work on properties near Grover Cleveland Park, the heavily wooded county park on the Caldwell and Essex Fells border, and around Essex Fells Pond on Fells Road, which locals call The Pond. Wooded lots like these often need deadwood and overhanging limbs taken care of.
