Over 20 years of experience in: Pruning, Trimming, Cabling, Reducing, Removals, and Stump Grinding. Fama Tree Service is registered under the State of NJ Board of Tree Experts. We are CAA Certified in: Arboriculture I & II, EHAP/Aerial Rescue, and First Aid & CPR. We are trained in Chain Saw Safety & Chipper Stump Grind Awareness and Electrical Hazard Awareness.

"Between Angie’s List and local resources I got six quotes to remove a 100 yr old 70 foot Norway Maple that was disrupting foundations of our house and of the garage. Most quotes were +/- $200 (except one extreme @ $800 more!!!) End decision was less about the quotes, more about how contractors presented themselves, answered questions, explained how they were going to do the job. Edgar Dominguez owner of Fama Tree Service was first contractor to respond, assess removing the Maple. I asked about potential damage to our garage’s slate roof (what roofers call a ‘glass roof’). He explained how the limbs and trunk would be double-roped for control, then cut & lowered manually. Fama is fully licensed and insured. After he left, I later thought to get OK from my neighbor about cutting/trimming branches of his very large, beautiful Copper Beech over-hanging our driveway & house. I had all subsequent contractors quote the Maple and Beech projects separately. After interviewing/getting quotes from other contractors, I asked Edgar if he could take another look, together with my neighbor. My neighbor is extremely knowledgeable and VERY particular about the trees and landscaping on his excellently maintained property. First: All communication/responses I had with Edgar and Karen at his office were superb! That next afternoon Edgar arrived with Lalo, his foreman to meet us. Second: As a very customer friendly, highly experienced professional, Edgar listened to all my neighbor wanted done. Edgar recommended/explained best approaches - even if it meant not doing anything - to maintain health, balance and appearance for the trees my neighbor needed work on. We both agreed Edgar’s team was the best. Edgar and a double crew arrived on sched. Edgar was onsite entire time, not just ensuring everything was done safely by his team, but working hands-on as hard as everyone else, managing ropes & drops, carrying/feeding cut pieces to the chipper, quartering large hunks of trunk. As our tree removal wound down, the team progressively went over to my neighbor. Entire day was amazing: like watching an acrobatic performance, no motions wasted. The Fama crew of experts are very friendly, entirely professional. My neighbor was very pleased with all the work done on his property, as am I for the care taken removing our tree. By end of day every branch, twig, leaf and sawdust was taken away from both our properties. If you need any tree service done, absolutely recommend you contact Edgar at Fama Tree Service for an estimate."

"We had a great experience working with Chris and his crew (David and Julian). We initially reached out for help with a drainage issue in our backyard and now have a beautiful outdoor space complete with a new paver patio, French drain, bluestone walkway, and shrubbery. Chris was super responsive, knowledgeable, and incredibly patient?taking the time to answer ALL of my questions?and was flexible with the many on-the-fly additions I requested.

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Your fence post holes should be about three times as wide as the post. So if your post is 4-by-4 inches, you should make your hole at least 12 inches wide. The depth of the hole depends on the height of your post, but it should be as deep as one-third of the post height.

Yes, you can build a pergola yourself or with a helper after you obtain any necessary building permits. A pergola can be as simple or complex as you like. Building a pergola is an excellent way to showcase your DIY skills and learn new ones along the way.

Pergolas have no base structure to hold them up, so it’s necessary to attach them to some type of foundation. Most pergolas require a minimum of at least four concrete footings to keep them solid and stable in the ground. Attaching the pergola to a concrete foundation is an option as well.

General contractors typically manage home renovation or build projects that last more than a week and involve various skilled tradespeople. Some examples include building a new home or barn, adding an extension or garage, or carrying out major room remodels involving extensive plumbing, electrical, and structural changes.

Wooden pergolas can last five and 12 years as long as you maintain your pergola. Make sure to clean, stain, and seal wood pergolas every two to three years to protect the wood from insect damage, rot, and decay. 

Vinyl or aluminum pergolas can last a lifetime. The only problems you may encounter with these pergola materials are weather-related—heavy rain storms or snowfalls. Check the stability of your pergola every season. You may need to add new supports or replace broken beams on an as-needed basis.
