Howell, NJ and the Shore
Tree services for Howell and the towns around it
Bernie's crew has worked this stretch of Monmouth and Ocean County since 2010, in the pink and lime trucks most of the neighborhood already knows on sight. Every job runs the same way: canopy down to stump, licensed and insured the whole way through. NJ Tree Care license NJTC 768877.

Tree Removal
A tree that's storm split, leaning on the house, or already down across a car doesn't wait for a slow week. The crew works it top down: bucket truck where it can reach, a climber on rope and rigging where it can't, and a crane brought in when a trunk is too heavy or sits too close to a roof to lower any other way. Every removal runs off a truck with the license number, NJTC 768877, printed on the door.
Ultimate Tree Service runs 24-hour emergency removal, so a tree on the house at two in the morning gets a call back that night, not a voicemail. The same bucket truck and crane also cover tree removal in Freehold and tree removal in Wall Township, along with Belmar, Brick Township and the rest of the service area.

Pruning and Trimming
Dead, dying, diseased and hazardous limbs come out of the canopy first, the ones hanging over the roof, the driveway or the play set. The crew climbs for the selective cuts rather than shearing from the ground, so a tree gets pruned for its own health and shape, not just cut back for the week.
Timing matters as much as the cut. A pruning visit before storm season takes the weight and the risk out of a canopy before wind does it for you, and it's the same crew and the same truck every time, not a rotating sub.

Stump Grinding
A stump left behind turns into a mower hazard and a patch of suckers that comes back every spring, and it blocks whatever was supposed to go there next. The Rayco RG100 4x4 fits through a standard 36 inch gate and grinds the stump down to ground level, so the spot is ready to reseed or replant without a slab of wood sitting under the topsoil.

Lot Clearing
Overgrown brush and stumps come out with the mulching attachment and the skid-steer grapple, then the Bobcat soil conditioner grades and levels what's left, ready for a build or a pasture.

What shows up with the crew
The truck that shows up is a bucket truck first, reaching into the canopy without putting a climber on a rope for every routine cut. When a tree sits too close to a roof or a fence for the bucket to work safely, a crane comes in and lowers the sections down instead. Rigging and climbing gear cover everything in between, working a trunk down piece by piece over a pool, a shed or a neighbor's yard.
On the ground, a skid-steer with a grapple attachment moves logs and brush without dragging them across the lawn, and the mulching attachment turns heavy brush into material right where it falls instead of hauling it out truckload by truckload. The Rayco RG100 4x4 stump grinder fits through a 36 inch gate and takes a stump down to ground level, and a Bobcat soil conditioner grades and levels the ground afterward. A chipper handles the smaller limbs on site, so most jobs leave the yard cleaner than a lot of crews would bother to make it.
