Tree Removal Services in Florence, NJ
Florence Township, NJ Tree Removal Company
Florence Township is located in Burlington County, New Jersey. The population of Florence Township was estimated to be 12,540 as of 2018. Named for Florence, Italy, the township was incorporated in 1872 from parts of Mansfield Township. Much of the township's street layout was organized by the Florence City Company that was established in 1849. Established in 1849 along the Delaware River was the Florence Iron Works, which was a major source of employment for the township throughout the 19th century. With its accessibility to various railways and major highways, Florence has since become a center for logistics and warehouse facilities for several major companies, including Amazon.

Tree Service in Florence Township, NJ
Florence Township is really two settlements plus everything built since, and the tree work is different in each.
Roebling
A planned company town, laid out in the early 1900s around the Roebling steel works — the mill that made the cable for the Brooklyn Bridge. Uniform worker housing on a tight grid, narrow lots, service alleys behind the rows, and street trees planted as one coordinated planting rather than one at a time. That last detail matters more than it sounds.
Florence village and beyond
The older riverfront village along River Road, plus the newer residential development inland and the logistics and warehouse corridor along Route 130 and toward the interstate. Larger lots, mixed-age canopy, and a much more conventional range of tree work.
Why Roebling's street trees fail in groups
When an entire neighborhood is planted at once, the trees grow up together and they age out together. A century on, that produces something you rarely see in an organically developed town: whole blocks where every street tree is the same species, the same age, and in roughly the same structural condition at the same time.
Practically, it means decline arrives as a wave rather than one tree at a time. A single storm can take limbs off six trees on one street, because all six have the same weak unions and the same accumulated deadwood at the same stage. It also means a homeowner who prunes proactively is genuinely ahead of the neighbors — and that a block-level approach, several properties coordinating a pruning cycle, gets far more done per dollar than six separate emergency calls after the fact.
Working the Roebling grid
The alleys are an advantage, not an obstacle. Rear service access means a bucket truck or a chipper can frequently be set up behind a property rather than blocking the street, which speeds the job up and keeps equipment off a small front yard entirely.
Where the alley is too narrow or a tree sits mid-lot, we climb and rig out in sections over the roofline. Either way, large tree removal on lots this size is section work — there is nowhere to fell anything, and the houses on both sides are close and old.
Tree Removal in Florence, NJ
Large Tree Removal
Rigged and lowered piece by piece on the grid blocks, where a neighbor's roof is fifteen feet away. On the larger inland lots a mature tree can sometimes be felled conventionally, which is faster and less expensive — the property decides the method, not the tree.
Dead Tree Removal
The emerald ash borer has worked through Burlington 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, which means a bucket or a crane rather than a climber on spurs.
Tree Limb and Branch Removal
Most of what we do on the older blocks is not a takedown at all — a cracked leader hanging after a blow, or limbs scraping siding and gutters whenever the wind picks up. Single-limb work is generally a same-week appointment.
Tree Trimming and Pruning in Florence Township
Given the age of the canopy here, tree pruning is the service that does the most good and gets requested least. Clearing limbs off rooflines and gutters, lifting canopy over sidewalks and alleys, reducing weight on long horizontal leaders, and taking deadwood out of a mature crown before it comes out on its own.
On a hundred-year-old street tree, weight reduction and deadwood removal can add decades. On a tree with a compromised trunk or a failing union it cannot, and we will tell you which one you have rather than selling the pruning either way. See our tree trimming and pruning service.
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 Florence Township frequently begins with clearing access — a blocked alley, a narrow street, or a driveway that has to be opened before anyone reaches the damage.
Two things shape storm work here. The riverfront exposure gives wind an open run at the township from the west, with nothing upwind to slow a nor'easter tracking up the Delaware. And the heavier Inner Coastal Plain soil under this part of the county means trees hold well at the base and fail higher up — split unions and trunk cracks rather than uprooting. After a storm, the dangerous tree is often the one still standing perfectly upright with a fresh crack you cannot see from the sidewalk.
Insurance documentation
We photograph damage as we work and deal directly with adjusters. On tight blocks, a tree coming off one property and landing on the next is common, and the paperwork is what the claim turns on. We provide whatever the adjuster asks for.
Utility lines
Service drops to a house are routine on these streets and we work around them constantly. A primary distribution line gets coordinated with the utility before anyone cuts. If a tree is on a structure, across a street, or into a wire, call (856) 288-1793 rather than filling out a form.
Stump Grinding on Small Lots
On a company-town lot a stump takes up genuinely scarce space, and century-old street tree stumps are wide. Stump grinding takes it four to six inches below grade so the spot can be seeded, sodded, or replanted.
Where a street tree is coming out of a narrow planting strip, grinding low enough to actually replant matters — a shallow grind leaves nowhere for the replacement to go. Priced separately from the removal and quoted up front.
Bamboo, Overgrowth, and Lot Clearing
Running Bamboo
Planted as an alley and property-line screen across a lot of these blocks and it never stays put. Rhizomes travel under fences, walks, and alley paving, and cutting it back does nothing — it has to be excavated. Our bamboo removal service handles it properly, and on lots this close together it becomes a neighbor conversation quickly.
Alley and Rear Lot Overgrowth
Rear yards and alley margins on the older blocks grow in fast once nobody is maintaining them, and volunteer maple and ailanthus come up along fence lines and foundations. Brush mowing and hand clearing handle it.
Lot Clearing
On the inland parcels and vacant ground there is still real clearing work — from opening a wooded section to full land clearing and excavation. Priced on area and condition rather than per tree.
Commercial and Historic District Considerations
Working in a historic district
The Roebling village is a recognised historic district, and tree work near contributing structures deserves a bit more care than a standard suburban job. Old masonry, original porch construction, and slate or original roofing are less forgiving than modern materials, which changes how we rig and where we set equipment.
Where a street tree is itself a character-defining feature of the streetscape, preservation is worth pursuing before removal. That is a judgment a Licensed Tree Expert should make.
Commercial and municipal work
Along River Road, Route 130, and the township's business frontage we handle parking lot islands, frontage and sightline pruning, right-of-way clearance, and hazard tree surveys documented in writing. Church, school, and municipal grounds as well.
Scheduled outside operating hours where access requires it — we are open 24 hours, so an evening or weekend window is normal rather than a favor.
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 our firewood delivery service, or tell the crew foreman to leave the wood from your own job.
On permits: Florence Township regulates tree removal above a certain trunk diameter, and street trees in the public right-of-way are frequently handled differently from trees in a rear yard. On the grid blocks that distinction comes up constantly. We check what applies to your specific tree and handle the permitting as part of the job.

Florence Township Tree Service Questions
Can you get equipment into the alley behind my house?
Usually, and it is frequently the best way to do the job. Rear alley access lets us set a bucket truck or chipper behind the property instead of blocking the street, and it keeps equipment off a small front yard entirely. We look at the alley before quoting so there are no surprises on the day.
Every tree on my block looks the same and they all look tired. Is that normal?
In Roebling, yes. The street trees went in as a single coordinated planting a century ago, so they are the same species and the same age and they decline on roughly the same schedule. It means proactive pruning is worth more here than in a town with mixed-age canopy, and that neighbors coordinating a pruning cycle on one block get considerably more for their money than six separate emergency calls.
Who is responsible for the tree between the sidewalk and the curb?
That depends on the township ordinance, and street trees in the public right-of-way are often handled differently from trees in your yard. On the grid blocks this comes up on nearly every job. Worth confirming before you pay for a removal — we check and handle any permitting.
My house is in the historic district. Does that change anything?
It changes how we work rather than whether we can. Original masonry, porch construction, and older roofing are less forgiving than modern materials, so rigging and equipment placement get more attention. And where a street tree is part of what makes the streetscape what it is, preservation deserves a serious look before removal.
Why is the tree still standing after the storm the one you want to look at?
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 tipping over. A maple with a fresh crack at a major union looks completely sound from the sidewalk and is not.
Licensed, Insured, and Verifiable
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.
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 blocks where a mistake lands on the house next door, that is worth asking any contractor for.
