They regulate street trees of 2.5 inches DBH or more and non-street trees of 6 inches DBH or more, with replacement requirements based on trunk size, and include exemptions such as hazard trees and a limited number of removals on residential lots (Plumsted ordinance).

Local notes

Parts of Plumsted are in the Pinelands Area (Pinelands Commission). On farm and wooded properties, mention fence lines, gates and how close equipment can get, because access drives the quote.

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.
