Tree Service in Audubon, NJ: Old Trees, Hard Surfaces
Audubon is about a square mile and a half of Camden County, built out as a rail commuter suburb in the early twentieth century and largely unchanged in shape since. Narrow lots on a tight grid, continuous sidewalks and curbs, driveway aprons cut through them, and street trees planted when the houses went up.
A century later those trees are considerably larger than the planting strips they sit in, and the most common tree problem in this borough is not a limb over a roof. It is concrete.
Sidewalks, Curbs, and Driveway Aprons
Tree roots grow where there is air and water, which in a dense borough means directly under the sidewalk. As they thicken they lift the slab. The result is a trip hazard, a cracked apron, a curb pushed out of line, and — because New Jersey generally puts sidewalk maintenance on the adjoining property owner for a residential property — a bill with your name on it.
The reflex is to remove the tree. That is sometimes right and frequently not. There is a ladder of options here, and it is worth knowing all of it before spending money on the most drastic one.
Grind or ramp the raised edge
Where a slab has lifted less than an inch or so, the lip can be ground down or ramped to remove the trip hazard entirely. No root work, no tree work, cheapest option by a wide margin.
Buys years, not decades. The root keeps growing.Replace the panel and give the root room
Lift the affected slab, and rather than pouring back flat over the same root, the new panel gets set higher, thinner, or bridged over the root. Some contractors will also run flexible or rubberised paving in a tree pit. The root stays, the tree stays, the walk is level.
A concrete job with a tree consultation attached, not the other way round.Selective root pruning, done properly
Cutting specific roots at a specific distance from the trunk, with clean cuts, at a diameter the tree can tolerate — then installing a root barrier so the problem does not recur in the same spot. This is genuinely useful work and genuinely easy to get wrong.
Read the warning below before anyone puts a saw in the ground near your tree.Remove and replant
Where the tree is also declining, structurally poor, or a species that was never right for a four-foot planting strip, removal plus a smaller replacement species is the honest answer. Tree removal with stump grinding low enough that something new can actually be planted in the pit.
Last resort, not first. A mature street tree adds real value to an Audubon block.The part most people are not told about root pruning
A tree stands up because of its roots, and the roots on one side hold it against wind from the other. Cutting large roots close to the trunk on the sidewalk side does fix the concrete — and it can leave a seventy-foot tree with materially less anchorage on that side, which is a problem you will not notice until a storm.
There are limits on how much root you can take and how close, and they depend on the species, the trunk diameter, and the tree's overall condition. That is a judgment for a New Jersey Licensed Tree Expert, not for whoever is pouring the sidewalk. If a concrete contractor offers to cut roots out of the way, get a second opinion first.
Roots and Old Sewer Laterals
The other underground problem in a borough this age is the sewer lateral. Homes from the early 1900s were connected with vitrified clay pipe in short sections, and every joint is a seam. Roots find the moisture at those seams, get in, and then thicken until the line blocks.
If you are having a lateral snaked every year or two, that is not bad luck. It is a root problem with a tree at one end of it, and repeated snaking treats the symptom indefinitely. Worth identifying which tree and deciding what to do about it rather than paying a plumber annually.
Whose Tree Is the One in the Sidewalk Strip?
This comes up on nearly every Audubon job and the answer is not obvious from looking at it. Trees in the strip between the sidewalk and the curb are frequently in the public right-of-way, which can make them the borough's responsibility rather than yours — and can mean you are not permitted to remove one even if it is damaging your walk.
Boroughs also commonly require a permit for removing a street tree, sometimes with a replanting condition attached. It is worth establishing which side of the line your tree sits on before you pay anybody. We check what applies and handle any permitting as part of the job, and if the answer is that it is the borough's tree we will tell you that too.
Tree Removal on Narrow Audubon Lots
Large Tree Removal
There is nowhere to fell anything here. A seventy-foot oak or sycamore comes down in sections, rigged and lowered with the drop zone controlled at every stage, on a lot with a house one side and a house the other. Slower, and the only responsible method.
Bucket truck from the street
Where the street allows it, working from a bucket is fastest and keeps equipment off your property entirely. On narrow blocks with parking both sides, that sometimes needs a couple of cars moved — worth arranging in advance rather than on the morning.
Dead Tree Removal
The emerald ash borer has worked through Camden County ash and dead ash goes brittle from the top down rather than declining slowly. Two seasons standing dead and it is unsafe to climb, so it gets a bucket or a crane instead of a climber on spurs.
Emergency and Storm Damage Tree Service, 24 Hours a Day
Big Timber runs emergency tree service around the clock, seven days a week.
This end of Camden County sits on heavier soil than the Pinelands to the east, so trees hold reasonably well at the base and tend to fail higher up — split unions, trunk cracks, and shed limbs rather than whole trees over at the root. The practical consequence after a storm is that the dangerous tree is frequently the one still standing perfectly upright, with a fresh crack at a major union you cannot see from the sidewalk.
Storm damage and fallen tree removal
On blocks this tight, a tree coming off one property and landing on the next is routine. We photograph damage as we work and deal directly with insurance adjusters, which matters when the tree was not yours. Fallen tree removal frequently starts with clearing the street before anyone can reach the damage.
Utility lines
Overhead services run through mature canopy across the whole borough and we work around service drops constantly. A primary distribution line gets coordinated with the utility before anyone cuts. If a tree or limb is on a structure, across the street, or into a wire, call (856) 288-1793 rather than filling out a form.
Tree Trimming and Pruning in Audubon, NJ
On mature street trees, pruning is what prevents the emergency and preserves the tree at the same time. Clearing limbs off rooflines and gutters, lifting canopy over sidewalks and driveways, clearing service drops, reducing weight on the long horizontal leaders that oaks and maples throw out over decades, and taking deadwood out before it comes out on its own.
Kept on a cycle it costs a fraction of a removal. See our tree trimming service or the Audubon tree trimming page.
Stump Grinding Near Walks and Utilities
Why grinding rather than excavation
On an Audubon lot, pulling a stump out whole is usually the wrong call. The root plate is tangled with the sidewalk, the water service, the gas line, and possibly the sewer lateral, and excavating it risks all four. Grinding stays shallow and controlled.
We grind four to six inches below grade, deeper in a planting strip where something new is going in, so the pit can actually take a replacement tree rather than leaving a shelf of wood just under the surface.
Newton Lake and the park edge
Properties along the Newton Lake corridor sit against county park ground, which brings a woodland edge and everything that comes with it — unmanaged understory advancing toward the lot line, volunteer growth along the fence, and wetter soil closer to the water.
Where a tree is on park land rather than yours, that is a county conversation and we will say so. Where it is yours, wetter ground changes when equipment can safely get in.
Bamboo, Firewood, and Commercial Work
Running bamboo was planted as a property-line screen across a great many older Camden County backyards and it never stays put. Rhizomes travel under fences, walks, and driveways, and cutting it back accomplishes nothing — it has to be excavated. On lots this narrow it becomes a neighbor conversation quickly. Our bamboo removal service handles it properly.
Our removals produce a great deal of hardwood, seasoned and sold as delivered firewood — cut, split, stacked, and dried until it actually burns. Commercially we handle storefront frontage, church and school grounds, small lots, and rental property across the borough.

Audubon Tree Service Questions
A tree root has lifted my sidewalk. Do I have to remove the tree?
Usually not. Depending on how much the slab has moved, the fix can be as simple as grinding the raised lip, or replacing the panel so it bridges over the root rather than sitting on it. Root pruning is an option too, within limits. Removal is the last of four choices, not the first.
Can you just cut the roots that are lifting the concrete?
Sometimes, and it depends on which roots, how thick, and how close to the trunk. Roots on one side hold the tree against wind from the other, so taking too much on the sidewalk side can leave a large tree materially less stable — and you would not find out until a storm. A Licensed Tree Expert should set the limits, not a concrete contractor.
Who is responsible for the tree between my sidewalk and the curb?
Often the borough rather than you, because that strip is frequently public right-of-way. It can also mean you are not permitted to remove the tree even if it is damaging your walk, and that a permit and a replanting condition apply. Worth confirming before spending anything — we check and handle any permitting.
I have to snake my sewer line every year. Is that a tree problem?
Very likely. Houses of this age were connected with clay pipe in short sections, and roots get in at the joints and thicken until the line blocks. Annual snaking treats the symptom forever. It is worth working out which tree is responsible and deciding what to do properly.
Why is the tree still standing after a storm the one you want to see?
This part of Camden County has heavier soil than the Pinelands, so trees hold at the base and fail higher up — split unions and trunk cracks rather than uprooting. A maple with a fresh crack at a major union looks entirely sound from the sidewalk and is not.
Licensed, Insured, and Qualified to Make the Call
New Jersey law requires a Licensed Tree Care Operator registration for any company performing tree care for compensation. Big Timber holds LTCO 735, and our work is directed by a New Jersey Licensed Tree Expert — the state's highest tree-care credential, covering tree biology, identification, diagnosis of pests and disease, pruning standards, and safe removal.
That credential is the difference on a job like root pruning under a sidewalk, where the question is not whether the roots can be cut but how much can be cut before the tree stops being safe. We also carry NJ Home Improvement Contractor License #13VH05439500, general liability, and workers' compensation, and we have worked South Jersey since 1989. Certificates of insurance available on request before work begins.
