Tree Pruning for All Your Basking Ridge Trees
When people think of pruning, they often picture it as a way to improve the look of their tree or make it smaller. But that isn’t all that pruning can do. Regular trimming of your trees has numerous health benefits that will help them continue standing for years to come.
We train our team of arborists to practice different pruning methods, depending on the needs of your tree. Our experts may suggest:
- Crown reduction to make your tree more compact and reduce its width
- Crown cleaning to eliminate any damaged or dead branches in the canopy
- Crown thinning to stimulate internal growth and reduce branch density
- Crown raising to remove lower branches to make room for foot traffic
Many homeowners assume spring is the best time to prune – but winter pruning often produces better results. During dormancy, trees experience less stress, heal faster, and are less vulnerable to insects and disease.
At Alpine Tree, we work year-round to ensure every tree receives the right care at the right time. Whether your goal is healthier growth or safer clearance, our Certified Arborists deliver expert results you can trust.
Tree Removal for Any Problem Trees
While our hope is that we can save every tree, we realize that it isn’t always possible. Sometimes, the best thing we can do for your property is to remove a tree that has become a problem with no easy solution.
Depending on the tree and your property, we may use several methods to remove the tree, including:
- Using a crane to lift trees in tight spaces over obstacles
- Climbing the tree and rigging it to take it down piece by piece
- Felling small trees with lots of space around them in one cut
When you call us about tree removal, ask about stump grinding as well. While stumps will naturally decompose over time, it will take years, and they won’t look good in the process. Our stump grinding service will take the stump below the soil level to leave you with a pristine yard.
Emergency Tree Service for Prompt Removal and Cleanup
When a tree falls on your home or car, you can’t afford to wait weeks for someone to clean it up. You need prompt service so you can get back to living your everyday life. That’s where 24/7 emergency tree service from Alpine Tree comes in.
We’re ready to respond as soon as possible to remove a tree that is putting people in danger and sitting on your home. We follow all the necessary safety precautions to ensure we remove the tree without any injuries to our team or damage to your property.

But one thing you may not have thought about is the condition of the trees on your property.
Trees, especially those that a previous owner might have neglected, can have problems lurking just under the surface.
