Tree permits in Lakewood
Lakewood Township has a tree-removal ordinance; a third-party summary reports that a permit is needed for larger trees, with an application and inspection fee (summary). Please confirm the current requirements in the Lakewood Township Code or with the township before work starts.
Before you hire
New Jersey requires tree care businesses to be licensed through the NJ Board of Tree Experts. Ask for the company's Licensed Tree Care Operator number and certificate of insurance. For stump grinding, the free 811 utility markout is required before digging (NJ One Call).
Storm damage or a tree on a wire?
If there is immediate danger, call 911. Stay away from downed lines and report them to your electric utility. Then see what to do after a storm and what insurance usually covers.
