Lakewood is one of the fastest-growing towns in New Jersey, and that means a lot of tree work: clearing lots for new homes, taking down trees that are in the way of an addition, and keeping big old oaks and pines from coming down on houses that now sit closer together than ever. JBS Tree Experts provides that tree service in Lakewood, NJ, from one tree to a full lot. We’re based in nearby Toms River. Call (732) 966-2273 for a free estimate.

Tree Services We Offer in Lakewood

Here’s what we do for Lakewood homeowners, builders and businesses.

Lot Clearing for New Construction

Building a new home or putting on an addition? We clear trees, brush and stumps so your builder can get started, and we work with the trees your approved plan says must stay. More about lot and land clearing.

Tree Removal on Tight Lots

When houses are close together, a tree can’t just be dropped. We take it down piece by piece and lower each section with ropes so neighboring homes, cars and fences stay safe. More about tree removal.

Tree Trimming and Pruning

We cut back limbs hanging over roofs and driveways and thin heavy canopies so they catch less wind. More about tree trimming and pruning.

Stump Grinding

Stumps left after construction or an old removal get ground below grade so the spot can be built on, paved or planted. More about stump grinding.

Emergency Storm Cleanup

Trees down after a storm? Call us any time, day or night. More about emergency storm cleanup. We also do hedge trimming and removal.

Big Trees and Busy Neighborhoods in Lakewood

Lakewood was a resort town long before it was a busy suburb, and many of its older streets still have huge oaks and white pines that were planted generations ago. Around Lake Carasaljo, Lake Shenandoah and Ocean County Park, and along the older blocks near Georgian Court University, those mature trees now stand over homes, wires and parked cars.

At the same time, new construction keeps going up across town, off Route 9, Route 70, County Line Road and Cross Street. Digging foundations, driveways and utility lines close to an existing tree can cut through its roots, and a tree that looked fine before the work can start to decline a year or two later. If construction happened near one of your trees, it’s worth having it checked.

Tree Removal Permits in Lakewood

Lakewood regulates tree removal under its “Protection of Trees” chapter of the township code, and tree removal permits are handled through the Lakewood Inspection Department. If the removal is part of building something, the township won’t issue the building permit until the tree removal permit is in place. Get the permit lined up early so it doesn’t hold up your project, and ask us about it when we give you an estimate.
