Commercial, Municipal & HOA Tree Service in Essex & Morris County, NJ
Scheduled tree maintenance, hazard management and 24/7 storm response for HOAs, property managers, condos, office parks and municipalities — one insured, ISA Certified crew and one point of contact, trusted across New Jersey since 1984.
T&D Tree Service is a family-owned tree care company in Livingston, New Jersey providing commercial and HOA tree maintenance throughout Essex County and Morris County since 1984. Property managers, community associations, facilities directors and municipal shade tree commissions rely on us for the same thing homeowners do — honest quotes, meticulous cleanup and crews who show up when they say they will — delivered on a schedule that keeps grounds safe, insurable and looking their best year-round.
Trees on commercial and multi-family property are an asset and a liability at once. A cracked limb over a parking stall, a dead oak beside a clubhouse, a hedgerow blocking a monument sign — each is a claim, a complaint or a lost lease waiting to happen. Our ISA Certified Arborists put every property on a defensible maintenance plan: routine pruning cycles, documented risk assessment through our arborist reports, and a storm-response commitment so you always know who to call. We are fully licensed and insured, carry the general-liability and workers’ comp limits your contracts require, and provide a certificate of insurance naming your entity as additional insured before the first crew arrives.
A complete commercial tree program
One accountable arborist for every tree on your property — scheduled care, documented risk management and storm response you can count on.
Scheduled Maintenance Contracts
Recurring pruning, inspection and cleanup cycles — monthly, quarterly or seasonal — that keep every tree on your property safe, healthy and complaint-free.
Hazard & Risk Management
ISA Certified assessment of every tree on site, with prioritized recommendations and documentation that stands up to your insurer, board and legal counsel.
Storm Response & SLAs
A defined emergency response commitment for downed and hanging limbs after every major storm — roads and entrances cleared first, then a full property sweep.
Certificates of Insurance
COIs naming your association, ownership or municipality as additional insured, issued before work begins — general liability and workers’ comp, always current.
HOA, Condo & Apartment Grounds
Common-area pruning, clearance over walkways and units, sightline and signage trimming, and dead-tree removal across whole communities in a single mobilization.
Fleet, Bid & Prevailing-Wage Work
Owned equipment and a crew sized for office parks, retail centers, schools and public projects — with bid packages and prevailing-wage awareness for municipal contracts.
Predictable care instead of emergency bills
Reactive tree work is the most expensive kind. Properties that only call when a limb is already on a car pay premium emergency rates, absorb the liability of a hazard they knew about, and field the resident complaints in between. A scheduled maintenance contract with T&D turns all of that into a line item you can budget:
- A single point of contact who knows your property — no re-explaining the site every visit
- Prioritized work orders so the highest-risk trees are addressed first, on a documented cycle
- Fewer emergency call-outs, because hazards are caught during routine inspection
- Clean, dated records for your board, insurer and reserve study
- Certificates of insurance on file and renewed automatically — never a compliance scramble
Built for every kind of commercial property
No two sites carry the same tree risk, so no two of our programs look alike. We regularly maintain trees for:
- HOAs & community associations — common-area canopy, entrances, walking paths and amenity areas
- Condominiums & apartment complexes — clearance over units, balconies, parking and utility drops
- Office parks & corporate campuses — sightlines, signage, curb appeal and safe pedestrian routes
- Retail centers & shopping plazas — parking-lot canopy, lighting clearance and storm cleanup
- Schools, houses of worship & institutions — playground and walkway safety, scheduled off-hours work
- Municipalities & shade tree commissions — street trees, parks and public right-of-way, with bid and prevailing-wage compliance
Whatever the setting, the standard is the same — ANSI-compliant pruning by certified arborists, safe removals, and a site left cleaner than we found it.
One crew, one contact, zero surprises
A structured program that keeps your property safe, insurable and looking its best.
Property Walk & Inventory
We meet you on site, walk the grounds and inventory the trees — noting species, size, condition and the ones that carry the most risk.
Proposal & COI
You receive a clear scope, a maintenance schedule and pricing — plus a certificate of insurance naming your entity as additional insured before any work starts.
Scheduled Execution
Crews perform the work on the agreed cycle, in off-hours or low-traffic windows, with every drop zone coned, signed and spotted for safety.
Documentation & Follow-Up
We leave the site spotless and deliver dated records — and a single point of contact stays reachable for storm response and mid-cycle needs.
Commercial programs pair naturally with documented arborist reports for risk management and emergency tree service for storms. We serve every commercial property in Essex & Morris County.
Commercial tree care built for northern New Jersey
The commercial corridors of Essex and Morris County are lined with mature, aging canopy — the big pin oaks along office-park drives, the Norway maples shading condo lots, the ash trees that emerald ash borer has quietly hollowed out behind a dozen retail centers. Northern NJ also takes the full brunt of nor’easters, summer microbursts and the occasional remnant hurricane, and heavy wet snow on leafed-out or brittle limbs is a yearly event. That combination is exactly why a documented maintenance and risk program matters here more than it does in gentler climates.
T&D works around your operation, not the other way around. We schedule loud or disruptive work for off-hours and low-traffic windows, coordinate parking-lot sections so tenants and residents are never boxed in, and cone, sign and spot every drop zone before a saw runs. From the corporate campuses of Florham Park and the associations of Short Hills to Morristown’s municipal trees and the retail plazas along Route 10, we are the local, insured crew New Jersey property managers keep on speed dial.

How commercial tree pricing works
Commercial and HOA work is quoted after a property walk, not over the phone — because the price of a defensible program depends on what is actually on the ground. The factors that shape a proposal:
- Tree inventory — the count, species, size and condition of the trees we’ll maintain
- Risk profile — how many trees overhang units, parking, walkways, roads or utility drops
- Service frequency — a single cleanup versus a quarterly or seasonal maintenance cycle
- Scope of work — routine pruning, clearance, dead-wooding, removals and stump grinding
- Access & staging — open lots versus tight interior courtyards, gates and off-hours requirements
- Documentation & compliance — arborist reports, COIs and, for public work, bid and prevailing-wage requirements
Because T&D owns its trucks, chippers and grinders, we control the schedule and keep the price fair. Most associations and managers find a scheduled contract costs less over a year than the emergency calls it replaces. Meet the team, read our reviews, or request a property walk and proposal.

What Essex & Morris County says about T&D Tree
This service is THE BEST! A huge tree came down on my shed and they came out same-day. The crew worked hard to save the shed and removed the heavy limbs very carefully. Cleaned up nicely — excellent service.
I have been using T&D for years. There is no reason to use anyone else. They are reliable, competent and fairly priced. Thank you Dave.
Best tree services in Essex and Morris counties. Dave came for a prompt estimate, pulled the permit quickly, and his crew did a great job above our expectations — covered the siding and pathway to avoid damage.
I’ve used T&D multiple times and they never disappoint. Professional, friendly, efficient. They leave the area spotless — it’s clear they take pride in their work. Highly recommend!
T&D was wonderful — always on time, always when promised. David showed a vast knowledge of local trees, his team used a crane and wore safety equipment, and they cleaned up completely.
They do exceptional work at extremely reasonable prices. Dave was an absolute pleasure to work with. The tree was a monster and came down seamlessly — they truly go above and beyond.
Dave arrived on time with a reasonable quote, and the crew showed up the very morning he promised. Courteous, efficient and professional — they protected our property and cleaned up well.
Massive 50-ft tree removed at the last minute, leaving no trace on my neighbor’s yard. Amazing work for just 3 guys. Fair pricing and easy to work with.
Responsive, dependable, and his team is neat and very careful. I’ve used T&D in the past and would not do business with any other tree company in Livingston.
Very reasonable pricing. Great service. Crew arrived at the time promised. Yard was left spotless.
