Tree Service in Burlington Township, NJ
Burlington Township and Burlington City are two separate municipalities. The City is the older, denser riverfront community; the Township is the larger municipality that wraps around it, running from the Delaware River south and east toward Westampton and Springfield. This page covers the Township. If your property is in the City, see our Burlington, NJ tree removal page. We cover both, so a call to (856) 288-1793 sorts it out either way.
Burlington Township is about fourteen square miles, and its tree work divides along an unusual line for Burlington County. A large share of it is commercial and industrial — the Route 130 corridor, the I-295 interchange area, and the distribution and logistics properties that have gone up across this part of the county over the last two decades. The rest is residential development spanning roughly sixty years of construction, from postwar neighborhoods to subdivisions finished in the 2000s.
Those are different businesses. A property manager with twelve acres of parking lot islands and a stormwater basin has a maintenance problem on a schedule. A homeowner with a sweetgum leaning at the roofline has a hazard. We handle both, but not the same way.
Commercial and Industrial Tree Service in Burlington Township
Stormwater and detention basin clearing
Detention and retention basins are engineered to function a specific way, and volunteer growth defeats that. Saplings, scrub, and phragmites take hold in a basin within a few seasons, root into the embankment, and obstruct the outlet structure. Basins on commercial and industrial sites carry maintenance obligations, and an inspection finding is a considerably more expensive problem than keeping the basin cut. We clear them and keep them clear.
Buffer strips and screening
Site plan approvals across this township are full of required buffer plantings between industrial or commercial use and the residential neighborhoods behind them. Twenty years on, a fair number of those buffers are overgrown, half-dead, or growing into the fence line and the neighbors' yards. Selective work maintains the screening the approval required without clearing the buffer out.
Parking lot islands and frontage
Lot island trees planted in confined soil volumes decline early and predictably, and by year fifteen a good number are dead or dying. Removal, stump grinding below grade so the island can be replanted, canopy lifted for truck clearance, and sightline pruning at drive aisles and entrances.
Truck access and vertical clearance
On a logistics property, a low limb over a drive aisle is an equipment strike waiting to happen. Clearing vertical clearance for tractor-trailers, dock approaches, and yard circulation is straightforward work and cheaper than a damaged trailer roof.
Right-of-way and hazard tree surveys
Dead and failing trees along property boundaries, access roads, and rail sidings, documented in writing so a facility manager has something to act on and a record that it was addressed. On commercial ground, documentation is frequently the point.
Scheduled and after-hours work
Commercial tree service in Burlington Township is usually a scheduling problem as much as a tree problem. Work in a live parking lot, a dock area, or a truck yard gets staged around operations, which frequently means evenings, weekends, or a shutdown window.
We are open 24 hours a day regardless, so an overnight window is not an obstacle. Tell us what the site can accommodate and we will build the sequence around it rather than the other way round.
Residential Tree Service in Burlington Township, NJ
The township's neighborhoods were built across roughly six decades, and the age of the development tells you most of what you need to know about the trees on it.
Postwar through 1970s neighborhoods
Trees planted with the houses are now fifty to seventy years old and considerably larger than the lots were laid out for. Silver and Norway maple lifting sidewalks and driveway aprons, sweetgums dropping fruit and limbs, and oaks with heavy laterals reaching well over rooflines.
Large tree removal here is section work — rigged and lowered rather than felled, because there is nowhere to drop anything. More often the honest answer is pruning: weight reduction and clearance, which costs a fraction of removal.
1990s and 2000s subdivisions
Younger canopy, but a different set of problems. Trees planted too close to foundations and driveways by the builder, Bradford pears and other short-lived ornamentals now splitting at weak central unions, and street trees in narrow planting strips with restricted root volume.
A lot of this is structural pruning while it still helps, and selective removal of species that were never going to last. Getting to a Bradford pear before it splits is much cheaper than after.
Dead Tree Removal
The emerald ash borer has moved through Burlington County ash populations and dead ash goes brittle from the top down rather than declining slowly. Two seasons standing dead and it is unsafe to climb, which means a bucket or a crane rather than a climber on spurs.
Tree Limb and Branch Removal
Not every call is a takedown. One cracked leader hanging after a blow, or branches scraping siding and gutters whenever the wind picks up. Single-limb work is generally a same-week appointment.
Stump Grinding
Stump grinding four to six inches below grade so the spot can be seeded, sodded, or replanted. Priced separately from the removal and quoted up front rather than added after.
Emergency and Storm Damage Tree Service, 24 Hours a Day
Big Timber runs emergency tree service around the clock, seven days a week. Storm damage tree removal and fallen tree removal in Burlington Township frequently begins with access — a blocked development street, a driveway, or a commercial drive aisle that has to be cleared before anyone reaches the damage.
This end of the county sits on heavier Inner Coastal Plain soil rather than the sandy Pinelands ground further south, so trees hold better at the base and tend to fail higher up: split unions, trunk failures, and shed limbs rather than whole trees laid over at the root. That matters after a storm, because the dangerous tree is frequently the one still standing. A sweetgum or maple with a fresh crack at a major union looks fine from the street and is not.
Insurance and utility lines
We photograph storm damage as we work and deal directly with insurance adjusters. When a tree came off a neighbor's property, landed on a vehicle, or damaged commercial equipment, that documentation is what the claim turns on.
Service drops to a building are routine work for us. A primary distribution line gets coordinated with the utility before anyone starts cutting — we do not work around live conductors. If a tree is on a structure, across a road, or into a wire, call (856) 288-1793 rather than filling out a form.
Tree Trimming and Pruning in Burlington Township, NJ
Tree pruning is the service that prevents most of what we get called out for in an emergency. Getting limbs off rooflines and gutters, lifting canopy over driveways and walks, reducing the long horizontal leaders that maples and oaks develop over decades, and clearing deadwood from mature crowns before it comes down on its own.
On commercial property the same work serves different ends: truck clearance, sightlines, lighting, and keeping required buffer plantings healthy enough to keep screening. See our tree trimming service, or the dedicated Burlington tree trimming page.
Lot Clearing, Brush Mowing, and Bamboo
Lot Clearing
From a homeowner reclaiming an overgrown back section to full land clearing and excavation ahead of construction. There is still undeveloped ground in this township, and clearing it is priced on area and condition rather than per tree.
Brush and Field Mowing
Brush mowing and field mowing on vacant parcels, basin embankments, and commercial ground held for future development. Ground four or five years past its last cut needs different equipment than a seasonal mow, so mention how long it has been.
Running Bamboo
Planted as a screen across a great many older backyards and it never stays put. Rhizomes travel under fences and driveways and cutting it back does nothing — it has to be excavated. Our bamboo removal service handles it properly.
Firewood and Permits
Our removals produce a great deal of hardwood, and we season and sell it — cut, split, stacked, and dried until it actually burns rather than green wood sold as seasoned. See our firewood delivery service, or tell the crew foreman to leave the wood from your own job.
On permits: Burlington Township regulates tree removal above a certain trunk diameter, and commercial sites carry additional obligations under site plan conditions and stormwater requirements. We check what applies before work is scheduled and handle the permitting as part of the job.

Burlington Township Tree Service Questions
Is Burlington Township the same as Burlington City?
No. They are two separate municipalities with separate governments. The City is the older riverfront community; the Township is the larger municipality surrounding it. We serve both, and a phone call sorts out which one your property is in faster than a map will.
Do you maintain commercial stormwater basins?
Yes, and it is a good share of our commercial work in this township. Volunteer saplings, scrub, and phragmites root into basin embankments and obstruct outlet structures within a few seasons. Clearing it is far cheaper than an inspection finding, and we can put the site on a recurring cut rather than waiting for it to become a project.
Can you work around our operating hours?
Yes. We are open 24 hours a day, so evening, overnight, and weekend windows are normal for us. On live parking lots, dock areas, and truck yards we stage the work around site operations rather than asking you to stage operations around us.
My builder planted a tree three feet from the foundation. What now?
Common in the newer subdivisions here, and it depends on the species and how far along it is. Sometimes it can be managed with structural pruning and root work; sometimes the honest answer is that it will never be right where it is and removing it while it is small is much cheaper than removing it later. We will tell you which one you have.
Why is the tree that is still standing the dangerous one?
Soil. This part of the county has heavier ground than the sandy Pinelands to the south, so trees hold at the base and fail higher — split unions and trunk cracks rather than uprooting. After a storm, a maple with a fresh crack at a major union looks perfectly fine from the street and is genuinely hazardous. Those are the ones worth having looked at.
Licensed, Insured, and Documented
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, diagnosis of pests and disease, pruning standards, and safe removal.
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 are available on request before work begins — on commercial and industrial property that is usually a procurement requirement rather than a courtesy, and we are set up to provide it.
