Tree Service in Edison, NJ Removal, trimming, storm damage response
Middlesex Tree Service provides tree removal, tree trimming, stump grinding, and storm damage response for homeowners in Edison, NJ.
Edison is a township of about 108,000 residents spread over 30.69 square miles, and it surrounds the borough of Metuchen completely. Census estimates put the median Edison home at 1975, with 56 percent of homes built before 1980 and just under half (49 percent) single-family detached. Trees planted with an older house have had the same decades to grow.
Edison’s own permit flow chart
Edison publishes a flow chart for tree removal permits. On that chart, a non-emergency removal needs a permit when the work is part of a subdivision or requires a demolition permit from Code; otherwise the chart says a permit is not required. Confirm with the township before work starts.
Emergencies follow a different branch. For a dead or dying tree that is an imminent danger, the chart calls for photographic proof or a certified letter from a licensed arborist or forester, then removal with the permit submitted at the same time. Work in the public right of way (sidewalk, curb, apron) needs a road opening permit from Public Works. Our Edison quotes note which branch applies.
