The Importance of Professional Tree Removal in Cherry Hill, NJ
Removing a tree seems like an easy task but in reality, it’s a complex and dangerous process that requires special skills and equipment. Professional tree removal services ensure the job is done safely and efficiently with minimal risk to people and property. Trying to remove a tree yourself can be very dangerous especially if the tree is large or near structures like houses, power lines, or roads. Professional tree removal teams like Big Timber Tree Service have the training, experience, and equipment to handle these situations safely. They use ropes, pulleys, and cranes to control the fall of the tree and avoid accidents and damage.
Trees that are dead, diseased, or structurally unsound can be a threat to your property. Storms, high winds, and even normal weather conditions can cause weak trees to fall and damage homes, cars, and other structures. Professional tree removal ensures hazardous trees are taken down safely and prevent costly damage. Many towns and cities have regulations on tree removal, especially for large or protected trees. Big Timber Tree Service knows the local laws and can ensure your tree removal is done in compliance with all regulations including obtaining any necessary permits.

Tree Care in Cherry Hill, NJ: A Whole Township Reaching the Same Age
Cherry Hill is twenty-four square miles and most of it went up between the mid-1950s and the mid-1970s — Kingston Estates, Old Orchard, Wexford Leas, Woodcrest, Downs Farm, Cherry Valley, and the developments out toward Kresson and Cropwell. Erlton and Barclay are older still. The oaks, maples, and sweetgums that came with those houses were planted as saplings and are now sixty to seventy years old.
That is a specific and consequential age for a suburban shade tree. It is not old — a healthy white oak can stand for two hundred years. But it is the age at which the structural decisions made in the first twenty years start to come due: co-dominant stems that grew up competing, long horizontal limbs that extended over roofs a few inches a year for six decades, and unions that have been slowly weakening the whole time.
Which is why the most valuable thing we do in Cherry Hill is frequently not a removal. On a property where a mature specimen tree is worth real money in shade, privacy, and appraised value, the question is whether it can be kept safely. Often it can, and the answer involves hardware.
Cabling and Bracing: Keeping a Tree You Would Rather Not Lose
Supplemental support systems are the least-known part of professional tree care and the one that saves the most trees. Installed properly, they reduce the risk of a specific structural failure without removing the tree. They are not a fix for a tree that is rotten, and they are not permanent and forgettable — but on the right tree they buy decades.
Cables
Installed high in the crown between two stems or leaders to limit how far they can move apart in wind. Steel cable is the traditional approach; modern synthetic rope systems allow a little more natural movement, which keeps the tree developing its own strength rather than becoming dependent on the hardware. Used where a union is weak but sound.
Brace rods
Threaded steel rods run through the union itself. Where a cable limits movement from above, a brace rod holds the union together directly. This is what you use when a crack has already started rather than when you are preventing one. Cables and rods are frequently installed together on the same tree.
Props and guys
Less common in a suburban yard but occasionally right — a support under a very long, very heavy horizontal limb you want to keep, or a ground anchor on a leaning tree. Usually a solution for a specimen tree with real value rather than a routine job.
Two things to know before anyone installs hardware on your tree. First, support systems require inspection on a cycle — typically every year or two. Cable hardware can loosen, the tree grows around it, and an unmaintained system can eventually cause more harm than it prevents. Anyone who installs and walks away has sold you something incomplete.
Second, cabling only works where the anchor points are in sound wood. If a union is already decayed, hardware has nothing to hold. That determination — sound versus decayed, and how much movement is acceptable — is a diagnostic judgment, which is where the Licensed Tree Expert credential actually earns its keep rather than sitting on a website.
Crown Reduction, and Why It Is Not Topping
The other preservation tool is taking weight off. Reducing a long heavy leader means shortening it back to a suitable lateral branch, so the tree keeps a natural form and a living branch continues to feed the limb. It lowers the leverage on a weak union substantially.
Topping — cutting the crown off at a uniform height — is a different thing entirely and it is not tree care. It leaves stubs that cannot heal properly, triggers dense weak regrowth attached only at the surface, and produces a tree more likely to fail in ten years than the one you started with. If a company offers to top your trees for storm safety, that tells you what you need to know about the company.
When Preservation Stops Making Sense
We would rather keep a mature Cherry Hill tree than remove it, and we will say so when that is achievable. We will also say the opposite, because a cabled tree that should have come down is a worse outcome than an honest removal.
Worth supporting or reducing
- Two co-dominant stems with a tight union, but sound wood throughout
- A long horizontal limb over a roof, on an otherwise healthy trunk
- A crack at a union that is limited and not accompanied by decay
- Storm damage confined to branches rather than the main stem
- A specimen tree whose loss would materially change the property
- A lean that has been stable for years with no soil movement
Time to remove it
- Decay at the anchor points — hardware needs sound wood to hold
- Significant hollowing, or cavities in the main trunk
- More than roughly half the crown dead or in decline
- Root or butt rot, where the failure point is below anything pruning or cabling reaches
- Soil lifting on the upslope side of a lean — the root plate is moving
- Advanced emerald ash borer damage, which does not stabilise
Tree Pruning and Trimming in Cherry Hill, NJ
Most of what keeps Cherry Hill's canopy standing is unglamorous and routine. Clearing limbs off rooflines and gutters, lifting canopy over driveways and walks, clearing utility service drops, thinning where a crown has become too dense, and taking deadwood out of a mature tree before it comes out on its own.
On a sixty-year-old oak, a pruning cycle every three to five years costs a fraction of a single removal and is the difference between a tree that stands another forty years and one that becomes an emergency call. See our tree trimming and pruning service, or the dedicated Cherry Hill tree trimming page.
Bamboo Removal in Cherry Hill, NJ
Running bamboo is one of the most common calls we take in Cherry Hill, and it deserves proper treatment rather than a footnote.
Why it will not stay put
Running bamboo spreads by rhizomes — underground stems that travel laterally and send up new culms wherever they surface. A screen planted along one property line ends up in the neighbour's lawn, under the driveway, and through a patio. Cutting the canes removes this year's growth and leaves the system entirely intact.
Why it becomes a legal matter
New Jersey municipalities have increasingly written ordinances specifically about running bamboo crossing property lines, and it is a common source of neighbour disputes. Dealing with it before someone else raises it is considerably easier than after.
What actually works
Excavating the rhizome mass, followed by a barrier where an adjacent property is still infested and reinvasion is likely. Our bamboo removal service does it properly, and there is a dedicated Cherry Hill bamboo removal page with more detail.
Commercial Tree Service in Cherry Hill, NJ
Cherry Hill has commercial and institutional property at a scale most of our service area does not — the Route 70 and Route 38 corridors, office parks, the mall district, apartment and condominium communities, medical and school campuses, and houses of worship.
What commercial clients actually need
Usually documentation as much as cutting. A written hazard tree survey a facilities manager or a condominium board can act on, budget figures for a multi-year plan, and evidence that a known risk was addressed. Where a tree overhangs common ground or a parking area, the paperwork matters as much as the work.
We also handle parking lot island trees, frontage and sightline pruning, buffer and screening maintenance, and right-of-way clearance.
Scheduling and access
Work in a live parking lot, a dock area, or a campus during term time gets staged around operations rather than the reverse. We are open 24 hours, so an evening, overnight, or weekend window is normal rather than a favour, and it is frequently the cheapest way to do a job that would otherwise need lane closures during business hours.
Certificates of insurance are available before work begins — on commercial property that is usually a procurement requirement, and we are set up for it.
Tree Removal in Cherry Hill, NJ
Large Tree Removal
On a quarter-acre Cherry Hill lot with a house either side and a pool behind, a seventy-foot oak comes down in sections — rigged and lowered piece by piece with the drop zone controlled throughout. Where a crane can be positioned, it is frequently faster and less invasive than two extra days of hand rigging.
Dead Tree Removal
The emerald ash borer has worked through Camden County ash and dead ash goes brittle from the top down. Two seasons standing dead makes it unsafe to climb, so it gets a bucket truck or a crane rather than a climber on spurs.
Stump Grinding
Stump grinding four to six inches below grade so the area can be seeded, sodded, or replanted — deeper if a replacement tree is going in. Priced separately from the removal and quoted up front.
Emergency and Storm Damage Tree Service, 24 Hours a Day
Big Timber runs emergency tree service around the clock, seven days a week.
Cherry Hill's storm pattern is a consequence of everything above. Trees of this age on heavier Camden County soil hold well at the base and fail higher up — split unions, trunk cracks, and shed limbs rather than whole trees over at the root. So after a storm the dangerous tree is frequently the one still standing perfectly upright with a fresh crack at a major union that cannot be seen from the street. Those are worth looking at, and they are also exactly the trees where cabling is sometimes still an option if the wood is sound.
Insurance, Utilities, and Neighbours
We photograph damage as we work and deal directly with insurance adjusters, providing whatever the claim requires. On lots this size a tree coming off one property and landing on the next is common, and the documentation is what the claim turns on.
Service drops to a house are routine work. A primary distribution line gets coordinated with the utility before anyone cuts — 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.
Seasoned 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, which is the complaint we hear most about other suppliers. See firewood delivery or seasoned firewood in Cherry Hill.
On permits: Cherry Hill regulates tree removal above a certain trunk diameter, and street trees in the public right-of-way are handled separately from trees in your yard. Requirements can include replacement planting. We check what applies to your specific tree and handle the permitting rather than leaving it with you.

Cherry Hill Tree Care Questions
Can a large tree with a split trunk be saved?
Sometimes, and it depends entirely on whether the wood at the anchor points is sound. A limited crack at a union with no decay is a good candidate for a cable, a brace rod, or both. A union that is already decayed gives hardware nothing to hold, and in that case removal is the honest answer. That determination needs someone qualified to make it.
How long does cabling last?
Indefinitely, provided it is inspected. Support systems are not install-and-forget — hardware can loosen, the tree grows around it, and an unmaintained system can eventually do harm. Plan on an inspection every year or two. Anyone who installs a cable and never mentions coming back has sold you half a solution.
My trees are around sixty years old. Should I be worried?
Not worried, but it is a sensible time to have them looked at. Sixty to seventy years is when the structural decisions made in a tree's first two decades start to matter — co-dominant stems, weak unions, and long limbs that have been extending over a roof for decades. Most of what we find at that stage is manageable with pruning or support, and much cheaper addressed then than after a failure.
A company offered to top my trees before storm season. Should I?
No. Topping cuts the crown off at a uniform height, leaves stubs that cannot heal, and triggers dense weak regrowth attached only at the surface — producing a tree more likely to fail than the one you had. Proper crown reduction achieves the actual goal. An offer to top is a signal about the company rather than about your tree.
Do you work with condominium associations and commercial properties?
Regularly. Common area hazard surveys documented in writing, multi-year budget planning, scheduled pruning cycles, storm response, and work staged around operating hours. Certificates of insurance provided before work begins, since that is normally a procurement requirement rather than a courtesy.
Why the Credential Matters on This Page
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, species identification, diagnosis of pests and disease, pruning standards, and safe removal.
Everything on this page turns on one judgment: is this tree's wood sound enough to keep it. Cabling a tree that should come down is dangerous, and removing a tree that could have been kept costs a Cherry Hill homeowner something real. Anyone can take a tree down. Deciding correctly whether to is the part that requires the licence. We also carry NJ Home Improvement Contractor License #13VH05439500, general liability, and workers' compensation, and we have worked South Jersey since 1989.
