Tree Service in Montclair, NJ
From the streets around downtown Montclair's arts district to big shade trees over old driveways and stumps left behind, we help Montclair property owners with tree work and free estimates.
Why Montclair
What we see on the ground
Montclair wants a Tree Removal Permit for each tree before the work begins, not one permit for the whole yard.
Tree companies working in Montclair have to meet New Jersey's state requirements for tree care companies and register with the Township every year.
When a tree comes out, Montclair expects it to be replaced. If you would rather not plant one, you can pay $250 into the Township Tree Fund instead, which helps pay for public tree replacement around town.
Local rules change. Confirm the current details with the township before work starts.

Questions
Tree questions in Montclair
- Do I need a permit to remove a tree in Montclair?
- Yes. Montclair requires a Tree Removal Permit for each tree before work starts, and the removed tree has to be replaced or covered by a $250 contribution to the Township Tree Fund. Rules like these can change, so confirm the current details with the township before any work starts.
- What if I do not want to plant a new tree in Montclair?
- Montclair lets you pay a $250 contribution to the Township Tree Fund instead of replanting. That money goes toward replacing public trees in town.
- Does the tree company have to sign up with Montclair?
- Yes. Montclair asks tree contractors to register with the Township every year. Ask the Township which companies are on its current list before you book.
- Do you work near downtown Montclair?
- Yes. We work on homes and businesses around downtown Montclair and its arts district, as well as the quieter residential streets. Older lots here often have large shade trees close to houses, so we plan each job around tight access at the free estimate.
