Tree Removal & Stump Grinding in Mantoloking, NJ

Mantoloking is a narrow oceanfront borough between Bay Head and Brick's barrier-island section. Superstorm Sandy cut a breach through it in 2012, and many homes were rebuilt or raised, so yards are often new plantings around older survivors. Tell us about your job and we'll pass it to one local, independent tree company that serves Mantoloking.

Tree permits in Mantoloking

Mantoloking adopted its Tree Removal and Replacement chapter (Chapter 25) in 2024 and posts it on the borough's Storm Water Management page. The borough's tree removal permit application lists a $50 fee and asks for a signed and sealed plan showing tree species, locations and diameters (DBH), plus a replacement plan, reviewed by the Code Enforcement Officer. Build that plan time into your schedule.

Local notes for Mantoloking

Post-Sandy plantings: many yards were replanted after 2012; young trees on raised lots need staking and deep watering.
Sealed plans: the permit asks for a signed and sealed plan, so ask your engineer or surveyor early.
Exposure: trees here face ocean wind and bay wind on a very narrow strip; see the nor'easter failure signs.
Neighbors: Bay Head and Brick.

Before you hire

New Jersey requires tree care businesses to be licensed through the NJ Board of Tree Experts. Ask for the company's Licensed Tree Care Operator number and certificate of insurance. For stump grinding, the free 811 utility markout is required before digging (NJ One Call).

Storm damage or a tree on a wire?

If there is immediate danger, call 911. Stay away from downed lines and report them to your electric utility (JCP&L, 1-888-544-4877, serves most of Ocean County). Then see what to do after a storm and what insurance usually covers.
