West New York requires tree care professionals to hold appropriate business licenses and liability insurance. We recommend hiring ISA Certified Arborists with comprehensive coverage.
West New York requires permits for removing multiple trees on a single lot, obtained through the Construction Department with a soil disturbance permit. Individual tree removals may also require permits depending on size and species. Contact the Construction Department for specific requirements.
Acceptable reasons include dead or diseased trees, structural hazards, storm damage, safety concerns, or interference with approved construction projects.
Signs that a tree may need removal include significant lean, large dead branches, visible decay or cavities, root damage, or proximity to structures. However, it’s best to have a certified arborist assess the tree. We offer free evaluations to determine if removal is necessary or if the tree can be saved through proper care.
New Jersey law requires informing all property owners within 200 feet at least 10 days before removing two or more trees and providing notification proof to the city.
The frequency of pruning depends on the tree species, age, and location. Generally, mature trees benefit from pruning every 3-5 years, while younger trees may need attention every 2-3 years. However, we recommend an annual inspection to catch any potential issues early.
Regular maintenance is key to tree health. This includes proper watering, mulching, fertilization when necessary, and regular pruning. We offer comprehensive tree health care plans tailored to your specific trees and property. Our certified arborists can assess your trees and provide a customized care regimen to ensure their long-term health and vitality.
