Setting the Standard: Certified Arborists With a Commitment to Excellence

In Middletown, New Jersey, homeowners care deeply about their properties. From the curb appeal of a well-kept lawn to the safety of mature trees near the house, every detail matters. That’s exactly why we take a different approach to tree care at Hufnagel Tree Service.
For over 25 years, we’ve been providing expert tree care in Middletown and nearby communities. We don’t just remove or trim trees. We do it in a way that protects everything around them. We’re not just a reliable tree service company. We’re a certified tree service company that treats your property as if it were our own.
Every job we take on is managed by a certified arborist. We look at the condition of the tree, the surrounding area, the soil, the slope, and what’s nearby. Then we make a plan that is safe, precise, and minimally invasive.
As a licensed, certified, and fully insured company, we follow ANSI standards for tree care and hold ourselves to the highest level of professionalism. This is not side-work. This is our profession, and it shows in everything we do.
Protecting Your Lawn With Tread Mats

Heavy equipment is often necessary when trimming large branches or removing trees. But that doesn’t mean your grass needs to be torn up in the process.
We use industrial tread mats, which are thick, durable panels we lay across the lawn before any machinery moves in. These mats distribute weight, prevent ruts and tire tracks, and protect your lawn from compaction damage.
Safe, Thoughtful Limb Removal
We don’t drop limbs from 30 feet up. That might be faster, but it’s not safe, and it can leave impact dents in the soil or damage underground systems.
Instead, we use ropes and pulleys to lower branches slowly and under control. Whether the work is over a driveway, pool, patio, or garden bed, we know exactly how to guide the removal with minimal disturbance.
It’s the kind of care you only get from an expert tree service company with real training and experience.
Clean-Up That Goes Above and Beyond
When our crew leaves, it’s not just clean. It’s spotless.
We remove every piece of debris and every last wood chip. We even rake out areas that saw foot traffic or equipment. If we used tread mats, we check under them to make sure no soil was disturbed. Our clients are often surprised at how tidy their property looks when the work is done.
As one Middletown homeowner recently put it in a 5-star review:
“They left my yard cleaner than it was before the job started. I couldn’t believe it.”
With almost 200 five-star Google reviews, our clients consistently mention how impressed they are with both the quality of our work and the respect we show to their property.
Real Value for Middletown Families
We know Middletown. We live and work here. People in this community care about doing things the right way. They appreciate companies who offer real value, not shortcuts.
When we’re working in a neighborhood, it’s common for someone walking by to stop and say, “I’ve never seen a crew work like this.” It stands out when a reliable tree service company shows up with a clean truck, sharp tools, safety gear on, and a crew that’s focused and respectful.
We’re not just here to do a job. We’re here to earn your trust, one yard at a time.
