Tree Service in Glendora, NJ
Glendora sits inside Gloucester Township, drained by Gravelly Run and Otter Brook, and most of it was built in the two decades after the war — capes and ranchers on modest lots, with trees planted by the people who moved into them.
Seventy years on, that produces a very particular situation, and it is the one we deal with most often here. The homeowner who put a maple in the front yard in 1968 is frequently still in the house, and the maple is no longer a nice maple. It is sixty feet tall, it is over the roof, it has surface roots in the walk, and it drops enough leaves each autumn to fill the driveway.
Five Trees and One Budget: Which One First?
This is the most common honest conversation we have in Glendora, and no tree company website ever addresses it. A homeowner walks the yard with us and says, reasonably, that they cannot do all of it this year. So which one actually needs doing?
There is a real answer, and it is not "all of them." It comes down to what would happen if the tree failed and how likely that is.
Do it now
Anything where failure would hit a house, a bedroom, a driveway you park in, or a neighbour's property — and where there is already visible reason to expect failure.
- Standing dead tree within falling distance of the house
- A fresh crack at a major union, or a hanging limb after a storm
- A lean that has changed, especially with soil lifting at the base
- Large deadwood directly over a walkway, driveway, or patio
This year, not this week
Real problems with no immediate hazard. Worth budgeting for and worth booking in the dormant season, when it is also cheaper.
- Declining tree over a shed, fence, or part of the yard you use
- Limbs on the roof and in the gutters — a pruning job, not a removal
- A tree that has outgrown its spot but is still structurally sound
Can wait, monitor it
Things worth knowing about and not worth spending on yet. We will tell you what to watch for so you can call if it changes.
- Chronic slow decline such as bacterial leaf scorch — often years of life left
- A long-stable lean over open lawn
- Small deadwood in an otherwise sound crown, away from anything
Leave it alone
Trees that are fine. We will say so, and we would rather say so than sell you work you do not need — a customer who trusts what we told them the first time calls us again.
- Healthy mature trees away from structures
- Trees with lanternflies on them but no structural problem
- Anything where the only issue is leaf litter
Ask for the Estimate That Way
When you call, tell us you want the trees ranked rather than a single number for everything. We will walk the property, tell you which category each tree is in and why, and price them separately so you can decide.
A company that will only quote the whole yard as one job is not giving you the information you need. Splitting it out is more work for us at the estimate stage and it is the right way to do it.
Please do not take it down yourself
We say this on every job where someone mentions they were thinking about having a go, and we mean it. Tree work is one of the most dangerous things done around a house. The two ways it goes wrong are almost always the same: a chainsaw used above shoulder height or from a ladder, and a tree that does not fall where the person expected.
A chainsaw kicks back faster than anyone can react to. A ladder gives you nothing to brace against. And a leaning tree does not fall the direction it leans — it falls where the weight is, which is frequently not the same thing at all. Professionals do this with ropes, rigging, and two people on the ground precisely because the tree gets a vote.
If climbing a ladder with a saw is not what it once was, that is not a reason to attempt it carefully. It is a reason to make a phone call. An estimate costs nothing and we would genuinely rather quote a job than hear how it went.
If Someone Knocks on Your Door After a Storm
Worth saying plainly, because this happens across Gloucester Township every time there is weather. Crews turn up unsolicited, offer a price that expires today, and ask for cash. Some are legitimate. Many are not.
Ask for the licence number
New Jersey requires a Licensed Tree Care Operator registration for anyone doing tree work for money. Ask for the number and verify it with the New Jersey Board of Tree Experts. Ours is LTCO 735.
Ask for insurance certificates
General liability and workers' compensation, current. If an uninsured worker is hurt on your property or an uninsured company drops a limb through your roof, the exposure lands on you.
Do not pay cash up front
And do not accept a price that is only good today. A genuinely hazardous tree will still be hazardous tomorrow, when a second company has looked at it. Urgency is a sales technique.
Reducing the Annual Chore
Leaf load and gutters
A good share of the misery a mature tree causes is not danger — it is autumn. Thinning and lifting a crown reduces both the volume of leaf litter and how much of it lands on the roof, and clearing limbs directly over the gutters means the gutters stay clear far longer. It does not eliminate raking, but it can meaningfully reduce it.
The tree that drops things all summer
Sweetgum balls, and silver maple twigs and limbs after every blow. If a tree is producing a constant year-round cleanup on a yard you can no longer spend a weekend on, that is a legitimate reason to consider removal, and we will not pretend otherwise. Preservation is usually right; it is not always right.
Tree Removal in Glendora, NJ
Large Tree Removal
On a Glendora lot with houses either side, a sixty-foot tree comes down in sections — rigged and lowered piece by piece. Where the street allows a bucket truck, that is faster and keeps equipment off your lawn entirely.
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 needs a bucket or a crane rather than a climber.
Cleanup Included
Every removal we quote includes hauling limbs, logs, and chips. You should not be left with a pile to deal with, and you certainly should not be moving it yourself.
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 Glendora frequently begins with clearing a street or a driveway before anyone can reach the damage.
This part of Camden County sits on heavier soil than the Pinelands to the east, so trees hold reasonably at the base and fail higher up — split unions, trunk cracks, and shed limbs rather than whole trees over at the root. After a storm the tree worth having looked at is often the one still standing upright, with a fresh crack you cannot see from the ground.
Insurance and Utility Lines
We photograph damage as we work and deal directly with insurance adjusters, and we will provide whatever the claim requires. If you would rather we spoke to the adjuster than you did, say so — that is normal and we do it regularly.
Service drops to a house are routine work. A primary distribution line gets coordinated with the utility before anyone cuts. 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 Glendora, NJ
Pruning is the cheapest tree work relative to what it prevents, and on a fixed budget it is frequently the better buy. Clearing limbs off rooflines and gutters, lifting canopy over driveways and walks, clearing service drops, reducing weight on long horizontal leaders, and taking deadwood out before it comes down on its own.
A pruning cycle every three to five years on a mature tree costs a fraction of a removal and postpones the removal by decades. See our tree trimming service or the Glendora tree trimming page.
Stump Grinding, Bamboo, and Firewood
Stump Grinding
Stump grinding four to six inches below grade so the ground can be seeded or planted, deeper if a replacement is going in. A ground-level stump disappears under grass within a year and then finds your mower deck — worth dealing with at the same time as the removal.
Running Bamboo
Planted as a screen on plenty of older Gloucester Township lots and it never stays put. Rhizomes travel under fences and driveways, and cutting the canes accomplishes nothing — it has to be excavated. Our bamboo removal service handles it.
Seasoned Firewood
Our removals produce a great deal of hardwood, seasoned and sold as delivered firewood — cut, split, stacked, and dried until it actually burns. We stack it where you want it rather than tipping it on the driveway.

Glendora Tree Service Questions
I have several trees and cannot afford all of them. Will you tell me which one to do first?
Yes, and you should ask for it that way. We will walk the property, put each tree in a priority category with the reason, and price them separately so you can decide. Anything within falling distance of the house with a visible reason to expect failure comes first. Plenty of trees turn out to be fine and we will tell you that too.
Is it cheaper to prune than to remove?
Considerably, and on a mature tree a pruning cycle every three to five years postpones removal by decades. If money is a constraint, pruning the trees that can be kept is usually the better use of it than removing one.
Can I just take the tree down myself?
We would strongly rather you did not. The two ways it goes wrong are a chainsaw used from a ladder or above shoulder height, and a tree not falling where the person expected — a leaning tree falls where the weight is, not where it leans. An estimate is free, and it is a much better outcome than the alternative.
Someone knocked on my door offering tree work after the storm. Should I use them?
Ask for their Licensed Tree Care Operator number and verify it with the New Jersey Board of Tree Experts, and ask for current liability and workers' compensation certificates. Do not pay cash up front and do not accept a price that expires today. A hazardous tree will still be there tomorrow when a second company has looked.
Will you clean everything up?
Yes. Every removal we quote includes hauling limbs, logs, and chips away, and we rake and blow the work area before we leave. You should not be left with a pile to move.
Our Licence Numbers, So You Can Check Them
Since this page asks you to verify anyone who knocks on your door, here are ours. Big Timber holds New Jersey Licensed Tree Care Operator registration 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, with certificates available on request before work begins rather than after. We have worked South Jersey since 1989 from a fixed address at 305 Hopewell Road in Marlton, with a corporate yard at 1991 Route 206 in Southampton. We are not difficult to find, and that is the point.
