Lawnside is a borough located in Camden County, NJ. The population is 2,945 as of the 2010 census. The area was purchased in 1840 by a community of African Americans. It was known as Snow Hill and Free Haven. Eventually, the name of Lawnside came from the train station constructed by the Reading Railroad along the Atlantic City Railroad in 1907. Lawnside was developed and formed as the first independent, self-governing black municipality.
To ensure your Lawnside, NJ property is looking its finest, it should be considered that any trees on the property that are dead or decaying should be removed.

Tree Service in Lawnside, NJ
Lawnside is a small Camden County borough with a history worth stating properly: founded as Snow Hill and later Free Haven, a community of free Black families and a station on the Underground Railroad, and in 1926 the first independent, self-governing African American municipality north of the Mason–Dixon line. The Peter Mott House still stands here, one of the oldest surviving Black-owned homes in the region.
Practically, it is a compact borough of older homes on modest lots with a light industrial corridor along the Pike. And a good share of what we do here arrives the same way: somebody has a bigger project planned and the trees turn out to be in the way.
Do the Tree Work First
This is the most useful thing on this page and almost nobody is told it in the right order. If you are planning any substantial work on the outside of your house, the tree work belongs at the front of the sequence, not the end.
Homeowners generally discover this on the morning the other contractor arrives, looks up, and says he cannot get started. At that point the tree job is urgent, the other trade is standing idle, and everyone is paying for the delay.
The project
What needs doing first, and why
Roof replacement
Roofers need clearance above the roof plane to work, stage materials, and move safely — and a low canopy prevents all three. There is also the obvious point: a limb that drops onto a thirty-year-old roof is an inconvenience, and the same limb on a roof installed last month is an argument about who pays. Clear the canopy and take out the deadwood before the roofer arrives.
Siding or painting
Scaffolding and ladders need to stand somewhere, and branches against the wall mean whole elevations cannot be reached. Contact limbs also abrade new siding and paint from the day it goes on, so anything touching the house should come off first or you are paying twice.
Solar installation
Shading reduces output, and panels are wired in strings so partial shade costs more than it looks like it should. Do the assessment before the array is designed rather than after — and get a second opinion on whether removal is genuinely necessary, because pruning frequently clears an array while keeping the tree.
Driveway or patio paving
Two reasons. New paving will not carry a tree crew's equipment, so any tree work near the drive should happen while there is still old asphalt to drive on. And if a root is what cracked the old surface, paving over it without addressing the root produces the same crack again in a few years.
Fencing
Post holes and tree roots do not negotiate. A fence line running past a mature tree will hit substantial roots, and either the fence gets rerouted or the roots get cut — which affects the tree's stability. Worth establishing before the posts are laid out, not while the auger is running.
Additions and excavation
The most consequential of the lot. Trenching, grading, and equipment over a root zone cause damage that does not surface for three to five years, by which time nobody connects the dying tree to the addition. If a tree is staying, it needs protecting before the machines arrive.
What this saves you. Doing the tree work first is usually cheaper for the tree work itself — we can schedule it properly rather than as an emergency, and there is more room to work before the new surfaces and structures are in. It also removes the risk of damaging something new, which is the expensive version of this problem.
If you are getting quotes for a bigger project, get a tree estimate at the same time rather than afterwards. We are glad to walk a property with your roofer, paver, or builder and sort the sequence out between us.
For Contractors
If you are a roofer, sider, paver, fence installer, or builder working in Lawnside and the surrounding boroughs, you already know how often trees stop a job on day one. We would rather get the call at the estimate stage than the morning your crew is standing around.
We are open 24 hours, we carry general liability and workers' compensation with certificates available on request, and we can usually work to a date rather than a window. Send us the address and we will look at it before you commit to a schedule.
Trees and Fences
Roots in the fence line
Any fence run past a mature tree will meet roots at post-hole depth. Cutting a large root to set a post is a genuine stability question, not a minor inconvenience — and it is worth asking before the line is marked out whether the fence can jog around the tree instead.
Trees growing into the fence
A trunk expanding against chain link or a wooden panel will engulf it, and once the wire is inside the wood neither the fence nor the tree can be separated cleanly. Caught early it is a pruning and fence-repair job. Left twenty years it is usually a removal.
Fence lines as corridors
Fence lines are where running bamboo, vines, and volunteer trees establish, because nobody mows there. It is the first place we look on any overgrowth job, and the cheapest place to deal with it early. See bamboo removal and brush clearing.
Tree Removal in Lawnside, NJ
Large Tree Removal
Lots here are compact, so removals are section work — rigged and lowered rather than felled, with the drop zone controlled throughout. Where the street allows a bucket truck, that keeps equipment off the property 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 gets a bucket truck or a crane rather than a climber on spurs.
Cleanup and Stumps
Every removal we quote includes hauling limbs, logs, and chips. Stump grinding is separate and quoted up front — and if paving or a fence is going over that spot, tell us so we grind deep enough.
Commercial and Industrial Property Along the Pike
Yard and frontage work
The White Horse Pike corridor and the industrial properties behind it need a different sort of tree work than a back garden: vertical clearance over drive aisles and loading areas, sightlines at entrances, frontage pruning, and buffer strips between commercial use and the residential streets behind.
Documentation and scheduling
On commercial property we provide written hazard tree surveys a facility manager can act on and budget from, and certificates of insurance in advance — usually a procurement requirement rather than a courtesy. Work in a live yard gets staged around operations, including evenings and weekends.
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 Lawnside frequently starts 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, 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 perfectly upright with a fresh crack invisible from the ground.
Insurance and Utility Lines
We photograph damage as we work and deal directly with insurance adjusters, providing whatever the claim requires. On lots this close together a tree coming off one property and landing on the next is routine, 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.
Tree Trimming and Pruning in Lawnside, NJ
Most of what this page describes is pruning rather than removal — canopy clearance off rooflines and walls, deadwood removal before it lands on something new, lifting over driveways and drive aisles, and clearing utility service drops.
Kept on a cycle it costs a fraction of a removal, and ahead of a roofing or siding job it is what lets the other trade actually start. See our tree trimming and pruning service.

Lawnside Tree Service Questions
I am having my roof replaced. Should the tree work happen first?
Yes, and it is the single most common sequencing mistake we see. Roofers need clearance above the roof plane to work and stage materials, and a limb dropping on a brand-new roof becomes an argument about who pays. Clearance pruning and deadwood removal before the roofer arrives is cheaper and avoids the dispute entirely.
My solar installer says trees have to come down. Do they?
Often not. Crown reduction or removing specific limbs frequently clears an array while keeping the tree, and an installer is not an arborist — removal is simply the simplest recommendation from their side. Get the tree assessment before the array is designed rather than after.
The fence contractor hit tree roots. What now?
Stop and ask before anything large gets cut. Severing a substantial root to set a post is a stability question for the tree, not a minor detail, and it is frequently possible to jog the fence line around the tree instead. This is much better resolved before the posts are laid out.
Can you coordinate with my other contractor?
Yes, and we would rather. We are happy to walk the property with your roofer, paver, or builder and agree the order between us. Getting the call at the estimate stage is far better for everyone than getting it on the morning somebody's crew cannot start.
We are building an addition. Will the tree survive it?
That depends on how the work is done, and it is worth asking early. Trenching, grade changes, and equipment over the root zone cause damage that surfaces three to five years later, long after anyone would connect it to the build. If a tree is meant to stay, fencing off the root zone before machines arrive costs a fraction of losing it.
Licensed, Insured, and Set Up to Work Alongside Other Trades
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.
On a job sitting between two other contractors, insurance and paperwork are the whole basis of working together. We carry general liability and workers' compensation plus NJ Home Improvement Contractor License #13VH05439500, with certificates available before work begins. We have worked South Jersey since 1989 and we are used to being one trade among several on a property.
