"They came on time, explained what was to be done (I had met with their arborist prior to this -- so it was confirmation of the excavation, removal and planting), they worked very hard, took care to protect my lawn, cleaned everything up on my property and around the house -- all in record time. By 2:30 pm, I had five large trees that gave me the privacy and beauty I had been dreaming of in my backyard. The next day I put in plantings and it looks like everything has been there for years. It was one of the few projects around my house that turned out better than I even imagined. We had uses Friendly Tree for trimming and removal of trees -- now that I know they plant trees as well, they will be my go to resource for all my tree needs."

"Judith came onsite to survey the trees we wanted trimmed; she provided a firm estimate for our review; and upon agreement to go ahead with the work -- two days later the Nature Services team of four workers got to work to get the trees trimmed. They took care of surrounding plants; branches and trimmings were mulched; and areas cleaned from debris. They were prompt, efficient, quick, and very professional. Will recommend to family and friends."

"This company is easy to work with. They are very professional and respond quickly to requests for quotes. Though I have used this company in the past and was pleased with the work - I still showed due diligence and obtained other quotes from other companies for the same job. Sage price is industry standard - falling right in the middle of my highest and lowest quotes. The tipping point in my decision was that I trust the expertise of Sage when it comes to tree service. The company - from office to field staff, are top notch. I'm pleased with the quality of the work performed and the clean-up by the crew.

"Alex and his crew were awesome. Alex showed up when promised to quote the job. I needed lots of large maple trees and a smaller dogwood trimmed and a couple of smaller trees removed completely. He made excellent suggestions and provided a reasonable written estimate and a timetable to get the job done. He completed the job when promised at the quoted price. His crew was very professional and efficient and neat. It was not an easy project but they made it look easy. I highly recommend Mastership Tree Service for your next trimming/removal project."

"Expert tree removal, pruning of several trees and fertilization of 20+ shrubs. Appointment was prompt and their terrific arborist Jonathan took his time to walk the entire property and identify areas that needed work and give advice. Professional, excellent service and price similar to another quote."

"Luis and his crew made quick work of a maple tree leaning over my roof. With their good communication, fast service, and fair price, I’d use them again and highly recommend them for tree service in Northern NJ. Thanks, guys."

FAQs for arboricultural service projects in Madison, NJ

Landscapers typically charge $25 to $50 per person per hour, which equals around $50 to $100 per hour for a two-person crew. These rates can vary depending on your location, the size of staff needed for the job, and overall job type. For example, a larger crew will be needed for structural additions and hardscaping versus planting flowers. 

When it comes to landscapers, licensing laws vary. Landscaping architects are required to be licensed in all 50 states, whereas traditional landscaping contractors are not typically required to hold a certification. You’ll likely be working with a landscaping contractor for most residential projects. If you are redesigning your whole yard or adding in hardscape features, you will work with a landscaping architect at some point during the project. Be sure to check our state licensing tool to review the local landscaper guidelines.

As you browse our pro listings, take note of the “Angi Approved” badge. Angi Approved businesses meet our standards for certification which include: 

  • The owner, principal, or relevant manager passed a criminal background check

  • Required to have applicable state and local licenses

  • Maintain an average star rating of 3.0 or better on our network, if they have at least one review

  • Paying to advertise their services

  • Meeting any other eligibility criteria required by Angi

Keep in mind licensing is different from certifications. A license is a legal requirement to operate a business, while certifications are voluntary.

On average, removing a tree costs around $750, but you can expect to pay between $200 to $2,000. Factors that impact the overall cost include the number of trees you’re having removed, their height, the diameter of their trunks, permits needed, and the tree’s accessibility. You’ll pay more if the tree is in a hard-to-reach area or dangerous location, like close to power lines.

Landscaping costs around $3,500 but varies widely from $200 to $14,000. Factors that play a part in your final landscaping price tag include:

  • Location

  • Yard size

  • Project size

  • Materials

  • Land preparation

  • Type of landscaping

Considering so many factors, it’s not surprising that the overall costs can differ. A typical landscaping project is flower bed installation, which averages between $800 and $3,000. However, landscape lighting installation is a higher-end project, with a price tag of $2,000 to $6,000

Yes, you will want to confirm that the tree removal company you hire is insured before proceeding with the job. Tree removal can be dangerous work, and it's important to verify that the company carries the proper insurance to cover any onsite accidents or damage.
