Tree Removal, Trimming and Stump Services in Dover and Morris County
Licensed, insured tree work from assessment to final cleanup, with the lawn and hardscape underneath protected while it happens.
Tree Removal
Full removals of dead, dying, storm-damaged, and unwanted trees, from straightforward drops to tight-access takedowns rigged and lowered in sections over houses, fences, and finished landscapes. Every removal is quoted with haul-away included, and the property is raked out before we leave.
Tree Trimming and Pruning
Crown thinning, deadwood removal, clearance pruning off roofs, driveways, and service lines, and structural pruning that keeps young trees from becoming future removals. Cuts made at the branch collar so the tree closes the wound, not flush cuts that invite rot.
Stump Grinding
Stumps ground below grade so the spot can be seeded, sodded, or planted again, with the grindings raked out or hauled at your preference. A ground stump is the difference between where a tree was and where a lawn is.
Storm Damage and Hazard Trees
Leaning trees, hung-up limbs, splits, and storm damage assessed and handled safely. If a tree is an active hazard to the house, call first and we will tell you honestly whether it needs to come down now or can wait for a scheduled visit.
Tree Health, Diagnosis and Treatment
Assessment and diagnosis of declining trees, treatment programs, deep-root fertilization, and cabling and bracing for structurally compromised trees worth saving. Publishing this block requires the LTE license; delete it entirely under LTCO.

Licensed Tree Work in a State That Requires It
New Jersey licenses tree care for a reason: it is the most dangerous work that happens on a residential property. The state requires every tree care business to register with the NJ Board of Tree Experts, with licensed operators, documented safety training, and minimum insurance — and it fines companies that operate or advertise without it.
That matters to you for one practical reason: when an unlicensed, underinsured crew gets hurt on your property or drops a limb through your roof, the exposure can land on you. AR General Contractor operates as a registered NJ tree care business [NJTC #] with a licensed tree care operator on every job [License #], full liability coverage, and workers’ comp on the crew. Ask any tree company for those two numbers before they touch a tree on your property. The good ones will not hesitate.
Why Dover Homeowners Book AR General Contractor for Tree Work
Tree work is a trust purchase. You are hiring judgment about what comes down and what stays, and insurance for the hour it is in the air.
Licensed Operator, Registered Business
NJ licensed tree care operator [License #], NJTC registered business [NJTC #], HIC #13VH11987800. All three numbers on the quote.
Insured for the Work Being Done
Tree-work-rated liability coverage and workers’ comp on the crew — not general landscaping insurance stretched over rigging work. Certificates on request.
The Property Survives the Tree
Plywood down before heavy drops, lowering over beds and hardscape instead of dropping through them, and a raked, hauled, swept finish. Removing a tree should not cost you a lawn.
Honest Calls on What Should Stay
Not every leaning tree is dying and not every ugly one is dangerous. Alberto will tell you when trimming solves it, when removal is the answer, and when the tree is fine and the money is better spent elsewhere.

How much does tree removal cost in Dover, NJ?
Tree removal is priced by height, trunk diameter, condition, and above all access: a tree in an open front yard and the same tree leaning over a house, a fence, and a neighbor’s shed are very different jobs. Stump grinding and haul-away are quoted as line items so you choose what is included. Call (908) 460-1712 and AR General Contractor will assess it in person for a free quote.
Do I need a permit to remove a tree in Morris County?
Many Morris County towns regulate tree removal, and requirements differ by municipality — some require permits above a certain trunk size, others only in protected zones or for multiple trees. AR General Contractor identifies what your specific town requires as part of the quote, so it is settled before any cutting starts.
Is AR General Contractor a licensed tree service in New Jersey?
Yes. AR General Contractor is a registered New Jersey tree care business [NJTC #] with a state licensed tree care operator [License #], as required by the NJ Board of Tree Experts, and additionally holds NJ Home Improvement Contractor registration #13VH11987800. New Jersey requires this registration of every business performing or advertising tree care — ask for these numbers from any company you consider.
When is the best time to trim trees in New Jersey?
Late winter dormancy is the best window for most structural pruning: the tree’s architecture is visible, disease pressure is low, and the tree heals into spring growth. Deadwood and clearance pruning can happen year-round, and hazard limbs should never wait for the calendar.
Do you grind the stump too?
Yes, stump grinding is quoted as a line item with every removal, ground below grade so the spot can be seeded, sodded, or replanted. Grindings are raked out or hauled at your preference, and our lawn and landscape crews can handle the restoration afterward.
