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."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Although dependent on the type and size of lumber, most 2-by-4-by-8-foot pieces of lumber cost anywhere from $3 to $6. Softwood lumber like pine falls on the lower end of the spectrum, while hardwood lumber like oak or walnut falls on the higher end. Different retailers and lumber yards can also vary in price, so it helps to shop around to compare prices.

Both cedar and redwood are some of the best woods for pergolas. Both are rot- and insect-resistant and have gorgeous natural tones that age well. Redwood tends to have a longer life span than cedar, but it also comes at a higher cost. While both options are durable, the best wood between these two for your pergola will primarily depend on your budget.

If you have a knack for DIYing, a trellis can be built from scratch from all kinds of materials. However, if time is of the essence, it’s far easier to buy a trellis ready-made and put it together at home.

A full backyard renovation can cost between $15,000 and $50,000, depending on the scope of the project. Excavation, materials, and labor costs all contribute to the final cost of updating your outdoor spaces, and expensive features like a pool, a fence, or hardscaping carry a high price tag.

Yes, most general contractors require a down payment for project completion. A reasonable down payment for a contractor is 10% to 25% of the total project cost, though that will vary based on project size and location. The down payment helps cover the upfront costs of materials and permits and helps ensure payment for the project at hand.
