Ultimate Tree Service removes and prunes trees, grinds stumps and clears lots across Monmouth and Ocean County, with 24-hour emergency removal when a tree comes down on a house or a car.
How a job comes down
Every tree is different, but the sequence is not. This is how Bernie's crew takes a tree apart without taking your yard apart with it.
The canopy
Limbs come off the crown in sections the crew can control, cut from the bucket and brought down piece by piece. Nothing big falls on its own schedule, which is the whole point when the tree stands over a roof, a fence line or a power drop.
The rigging
Plenty of Howell backyards have no truck access at all. Those trees get climbed, with every climber in full harness and PPE, and the wood is lowered on ropes past the roof and the pool. Carol and Ken Born's big swamp maple came out around their inground pool exactly this way.
The pick
When a trunk is too heavy or too close to the house to lower any other way, a crane lifts it clear. After a storm that is often the difference between a patched roof and a caved one, and it is the kind of removal other crews look at and walk away from.
The ground
A skid-steer grapple carries the logs to the street, the brush goes through the lime chipper, and the yard gets raked before anyone drives off. Reviewers say it more than anything else: no debris left behind.
Four services, one crew
Removal is most of the work and the reason the crane and the bucket truck exist. Pruning, stump grinding and lot clearing are done by the same people, with the same cleanup at the end.
Emergency and planned
Dead, leaning and storm-split trees taken down in controlled sections, by bucket truck, by climber on a rope, or by crane when the tree hangs over the house. Emergency removal runs 24 hours.

It was a dangerous removal in Howell, the kind where the tree is too big and too close to something that matters to drop or climb out safely. Several companies came, looked, and declined the job. Bernie took it on and brought the crane.
That is the pattern in the testimonials the business has collected since 2010. Mark Lutz of Aldrich Road, who owns a construction company himself, compared three estimates after Hurricane Sandy and picked Bernie on trust over cheaper bids. Ryan Salonia, a State Farm agent in Howell, recommended Bernie’s team for countless Sandy claims.
And Michael Ryder found them the way a lot of Howell does: he asked a Howell police officer at a local pizza place who to call, and the officer said “Ultimate.” He has used them twice at his own house since, and once at his sister’s in Candlewood.
“We have used Ultimate Tree Service a number of times and their work is terrific from removing trees in our yard (crab apple and a huge pine) to trimming and reshaping overgrown bushes. The crew is professional and courteous and leave no debris behind.”
