Tree Removal
Tree removal addresses safety hazards caused by dead, diseased, or structurally compromised trees. Our certified experts use specialized equipment to safely dismantle trees in confined spaces, minimizing property impact. We handle permits, utility line coordination, and post-removal cleanup for residential and commercial properties.
Tree Pruning
Precision pruning enhances tree health, structural integrity, and aesthetic appeal. We remove deadwood, thin canopies for improved air circulation, and shape trees to prevent utility line conflicts. Our techniques follow ISA standards to promote long-term growth patterns and reduce storm damage risks.
Organic Pest Management
Our eco-friendly pest management identifies and treats infestations using organic solutions. Certified arborists diagnose tree-specific threats like emerald ash borers or scale insects, then apply targeted treatments that protect beneficial species while eliminating harmful pests from your landscape.
Stump Grinding
Stump grinding eliminates tripping hazards and restores usable yard space after tree removal. We use heavy-duty equipment to grind stumps below grade level, recycle wood chips as mulch, and prepare sites for replanting or landscaping improvements without disturbing surrounding vegetation.
Emergency Storm Damage Response
24/7 storm damage response handles urgent tree failures caused by severe weather. Our rapid deployment team secures properties, removes fallen trees from structures, and performs hazard assessments to prioritize safety-critical interventions during and after storms.

Report
Highly disappointed in this company! They did wonderful tree work for us a number of years back, so I wanted to use them again this Fall for some basic trimming. Kevin came out reasonably quickly to give me a quote on September 4th, with the understanding that it would be a few weeks before they could do the work due to an open crew position. But it would be before the end of September. When I called the office two weeks later to see where we were in queue, I was told Kevin would get the message and get back to me. Nothing! I emailed the company on Monday, Oct 1st to ask the status of our

I had Frontier come out for a tree removal estimate. They offered a great price and said they could complete the job within the next two weeks. After half a dozen phone calls and no return calls I hired someone else to do the job. Thanks for wasting my time Frontier.

Kevin Jr. is such a nice young man. Hired him to bring my front yard and trees back to life this Spring and he did an incredible job. Always on schedule, proactive and extremely knowledgeable. Got the work done, never had to call twice and always supplied outstanding suggestions and lawn care advice. My lawn did a complete 180. If you're looking for great service, Frontier Tree's the best choice in Monmouth county.

I probably should have known from the fact that the owner showed up hours late to a five minute estimate with no call (I had to call several them times) that I was on the wrong track with Frontier Tree Service. Nevertheless, when he finally showed up with only a vague apology, he offered a decent price and said that he'd come by to take down the tree in two to three weeks. As we are in an area affected by the recent hurricane, it didn't seem that unreasonable. Unfortunately, no one ever came to take down the tree. No call, no communication of any kind. Despite my numerous calls
