The trees that don't fall politely
A pine that splits in a nor'easter doesn't wait for a convenient afternoon. One photo in Ultimate Tree Service's own gallery shows a storm-damaged tree down across a red Volvo wagon, a branch straight through the rear window. That is the kind of call that comes in at first light. Howell and the surrounding Shore towns see this every storm season, and a cracked or leaning pine over a driveway or a roofline doesn't get any safer by waiting on it.
Some of the hardest jobs never see a bucket truck at all. When a large swamp maple came down around an inground pool in Howell with no clear path for a lift, the crew worked it by hand and rigging instead: climbing in, cutting it into pieces, and lowering each one on rope so nothing landed in the water or cracked the pool deck.

Bucket, rope, or crane, whichever the job calls for
Most removals start the same way: assess the lean, the weight, and what's underneath, then pick the tool that gets it down safest. The bucket truck reaches straight up into the canopy for a clean top-down take-apart. Where the truck can't get close enough, a climber goes up on rope instead, cutting the crown into sections and lowering each one under control rather than letting anything free-fall toward a fence, a shed, or a driveway.
When a trunk sits too close to a structure to lower any other way, the crew brings in a crane. That's what it took for a dangerous removal at Harry Grantham's place in Howell, a job big and risky enough that other tree services had already turned it down before Bernie's crew took it on. A crane pick isn't the default; it's what gets called when the tree and the house are too close together for rope alone.

What's left when the truck pulls out
Cleanup isn't billed as an extra, it's just how the job ends. Joe R, a Howell customer, has used the crew for both tree removal and trimming and says they leave no debris behind every time; other reviewers say the same about the wood, the brush, and the sawdust. If the stump needs to go too, the Rayco RG100 grinder finishes it down to ground level before the crew leaves the property.
Wood gets hauled off the property unless a homeowner wants it left for firewood, and the yard gets raked before anyone packs up the trucks. For anything that can't wait, the 24-hour emergency line runs day and night: call (732) 905-0554 and the crew figures out what's safe to do from where you're standing before anyone gets in a truck.
Ryan Salonia, a State Farm agent in Howell, has recommended the crew for countless Hurricane Sandy claims involving storm-damaged trees.
