Tree Storm Proofing & Repair

Protect your trees from wind and rain damage with one call to Hufnagel Tree Service. When planting new trees, choose species that are more wind resistant, and plant them away from utility lines and structures. Always select trees to plant that have straight roots, one dominant trunk, and branches that are equally spaced apart from each other. If your trees don’t have these features, they should be trimmed so they do. A tree more likely to survive storms is compact, with a low center of gravity. The tree would have a sturdy trunk, and deep symmetrical root system. The native live oak is a great example of a “survivor” tree, given the right environment and care during its life.

When nature brings a lot of wind, rain, or snow, any vulnerable areas of your tree may fail causing falling debris. We can prepare your trees for pending bad weather by removing these vulnerable areas, making the tree stronger during times of stress. We can make sure the overall health of your trees is good and ready to withstand punishment from wind and water during winter and fall. We can perform free ground visual inspections of your trees and provide an accurate quote to make sure you are ready for the weather this season.

Real Customer Reviews From Google

Great service, high quality and professional.

Justin S.

We highly recommend Hufnagel Tree Service! We contacted Mike after our neighbor’s Oak tree dropped a branch on our roof. The tree is sentimental for our neighbor because her husband planted it 56 years ago from an acorn but, it had grown to the point where it made our yard unsafe. We needed someone to remove some of the branches to protect our property while still preserving the health of the tree that our neighbor loves so much. Mike is a certified arborist so we knew we could trust him with... this task. He and his whole crew not only did a fantastic job trimming the tree but they also rescued a nest of baby squirrel’s and safely returned them to their habitat. When the job was complete they left our property pristine.read more

I have used Hufnagel tree over 15-20 years and always have been extremely happy with their work. They have taken down large trees, and pruned existing ones. They take pride in their work and are most personable and professional. Mike is spot on and very responsive to calls, requests, etc. He and his workers are prompt and reliable. He removes all debris when the job is completed. He is on the job assisting his workers, is very safety conscious and I never worry about problems. His... prices are fair as well. He knows his trees and answers all questions. I wouldn’t consider using anyone else.read more

We have a HUGE sycamore in our backyard that had several large precarious branches that Hufnagel cut off for us.I’m a loyal customer and continue to be amazed at the work they do. I would recommend them (and have) to anyone.

Denise M.

This is at least the third time I have used Hufnagel Tree Services , and each time I have enjoyed excellent , knowledgeable and honest expertise at a reasonable cost . To see Mike's crew in action is like watching a well-oiled machine do it's various jobs , from bucket to pruning forks, from truck movement to chipping and total clean-up , with "ringmaster/maestro" Mike on top of every step in the operation . I love seeing the respect his men show him as well . One time I called him... to trim an ash tree of dead branches , but he said that he would not touch it since his trained eye saw that it needed life-saving intervention first , not wanting me to waste my money ! That was impressive ! My best interests were in his best interest ! He even told me of a tree treatment specialist who I then employed , at a most reasonable fee , and over the course of the next two years the green ash bugs were gone and the tree is thriving ! Mike Hufnagel Tree Service has my highest recommendation for top quality work by well-trained and careful workers , all at a reasonable fee. Clarence Neumann , Red Bankread more

Nobody else I would use, and this was not my first time and definitely not my last.

Ralph K.

Had a great first experience with Mike and his crew! Very responsive and quick turn around time. They are extremely knowledgeable and honest/up front about the process. They did a great job trimming our large trees and removal of one dead tree. Will be using their services from now on!

Sarah C.

Michael and his team made a difficult job look easy and they left not a trace behind. Uncommon skill and professionalism. Just about anyone can cut down a tree. It’s what comes before and after that really matters. Michael carefully plans and executes the project with care. As a certified arborist, he’s the one to call when it comes to trees.

Rich D.

Mike is the best! I have never have to wait on him. He does more than I even ecpected him to do. And he didn't even disturb my flowers!

Holly W.

In this world with myriad challenges connected to contracted services, Hufnagel Tree Service checks all the boxes of reliability, expertise, and efficiency. The crew did a great job under the constant guidance of owner, Mike Hufnagel. He oversaw and pitched in on every aspect, supported and guided our decisions, responded to every communication within minutes, arrived on time, and ready to work. We recommend him and his company without hesitation.

Jack R.

Heard back same day we called, came quickly to give an estimate, and came earlier than expected to complete the job. Work was fantastic and cost was reasonable. Highly recommend!!

Jeanne K.

Mike and his crew were amazing and efficient. Extremely responsive and got out to our property quickly for an estimate and got the job done a week later. Highly recommend and will contact him again for future needs.

Janine R.

I needed work done on some trees for a property I was managing. I was visiting, unfamiliar with the area, and was shopping blind on a Saturday while calling tree contractors with reasonably good reviews.So I was not surprised to find myself leaving messages on voicemail and with messaging services. But I was surprised to get a return call from Mike Hufnagel while I was still reaching out to other tree service companies. And, I was even more surprised when he said he could drop by in a few... minutes to take a look at my project.Personable and professional Mike gave me an estimate that was in line with tree work I’ve had done on other properties. He said about two weeks before he could get to the job, which was fine, but would he send me pictures of the finished job because I was leaving town in a few days. No problem, he said, and we shook hands on the deal.Imagine my further surprise - delight really - when on Monday, the day after we agreed to terms, Mike shows up with his crew to say he had an opening in his schedule. Gotta love working with the owner of the company, and who hustles.Mike and his crew made quick and thorough work of the job, took all the trimmings with them and cleaned the site as if they had never been there.One last item: Safety. Mike clearly respects the inherent dangers of his profession. He and his men come outfitted with every manner of protection for themselves, capping my impression of a company, and an owner, that can be trusted.It’s not likely that I’ll be calling anyone else for tree service in the future.read more

John K.

Quote given within 24 hours of call. Job agreed next day after very fair pricing. Pruned and shaped two trees three days later, looks fantastic. Owner professional, knowledgeable and on-site for entire job. Upon completion, full clean-up with nothing left behind. Would highly recommend and definitely be using again!

Andy G.

My parents used Hugnagel for their home in Secaucus for years, and I have used Hugnagel Tree Service for my home as well. Over the years Hugnagel has done all of the following: tree trimming and tree removal and stump grinding in a very small restricted area (while I lived in Hoboken). Since moving to Long Branch Hugnagel has trimmed many trees and removed a tree as well. Hugnagel is respectful of not only your property but also the property belonging to your neighbors when doing any... property line work. Hugnagel has the ability to problem solve when necessary and gets the job done. Estimates are always fair. You will never be disappointed. Absolutely beautiful work by great people.read more

Faith R.

Very professional, prompt service, good communication! Highly recommend.

Ellen L.

Mike and his crew arrived promptly and handled all the tree work efficiently and with great care for a good price. And, he took his time to answer all questions and concerns we had. Great to deal with. Highly recommend!!

Michael C.

I needed a tree removed and some branches cut. Contacted Hufnagel and not only was my call immediately answered, but Mike came right over to get me a quote, explain to me what he would do, how he would it, and offered a very reasonable price. The owner, Mike, was on site with his guys doing the work with them and they were all tremendous! Highly recommended and will use them again for future jobs for sure! Thanks, again, Mike and crew!

Robert H.

I’ve used Hufnagel twice and I’ve been very happy with their work. They show up on time, complete the job professionally & quickly & clean up afterwards. I will use them again!

Sharon H.

The tree service was done impeccably well. We had very tall trees on a small lot with close neighbors but that wasn’t an issue whatsoever. Every branch that was trimmed came down in a highly controlled and professional manner. The owner and workers were so polite and friendly; everything I wanted done was addressed to my full satisfaction and they even did a few little extra things at no added charge, so the trees would be cohesive in height. They even took out a couple short little weed trees... that popped up last spring that were choking my lilac bush. And the yard was impeccably raked and cleared of all debris, once the trimming was done. I was so Impressed, I will 100% be hiring them again for all my yard needs, and you should too!read more

Meredith H.

I had a great experience working with Mike and Hufnagel Tree Service to trim back some tree limbs hanging over our pool. Mike was very responsive when I reached out, was clear and fair on pricing and the work to be completed, and most importantly they did a wonderful (and quick!) job. Thank you so much, we will definitely be using Hufnagel again when we are in need.

Jill B.

Have used Hufnagel tree service in the past and they continue to be my "go to" tree service! Mike and his crew were on time and worked efficiently and safely---Mike pays great attention to customer wishes and all pruning and tree trimming on both maples and holly trees was completed as I asked while also removing all the pruning/trimming remnants! Highly recommend!!

Cheryl M.

I have had many trees removed over the years from my properties but never had I worked with such a professional as Mike Hufnagel. One phone call is all it took to have exactly what I needed done. Mike gave me multiple options and opinions that worked for me. The service was second to none and the quality of work and cleanup was exceptional. The price was more than fair but most importantly the whole process was flawless.

Bill B.

Mike’s response to my needs was prompt and professional. His crew was competent and neat and respected my property. He has the equipment to handle the job under all conditions. I highly recommend his company.

George S.

I have nothing but good things to say. Mike was great, his customer service was top notch. I was nervous about this whole process but Mike made the whole experience stress free.

Beth C.

Call Mike and his team to trim and thin out a tree in front of our property. It had gotten pretty out of control. Mike and his team came in had to manually trim and climb the tree because of proximity to high tension wires. The team did a great job keep me informed and clean up you would not even know they were here. As a arborist Mike know how much and what to cut to preserve the tree, Thank you to Huffnagel and the team much appreciated.

Mike D.

Wonderful people to do business with. On time, efficient, and cleans up like they were never there😊

Sari I.

Mike returned our calls timely, showed up on time for the estimate, confirmed our appt. Mike, Eddie & crew showed up on time, went over the scope of work, addressed all concerns, answered all questions. They were professional, friendly, courteous. They cleaned up every branch (even our neighbors' yards). I've recommended Hufnagel Tree Service to friends and family and everyone has had a positive experience. I highly recommend Hufnagel Tree Service! Thanks Mike, Eddie & crew! My yard/trees... look great!read more

Patti M.

We recently had a neighbors tree fall on our car. The neighbor had called Hufnagel to have it removed. When they came out they explained how the tree had pressure points on the car and there would possibly be more damage done to the vehicle when they started to remove it, but they would try their best not to have that happen. Before starting to remove the tree from the car, I asked for a quote to have a tall tree removed from our back yard and the the price was right so I asked when they would... be able to remove that tree and was told right after they took the tree off the car. (Who does that?..definitely did not expect that answer but was glad I wouldn’t have to take another day off of work for that). They did an amazing job removing the tree from the car and made sure that no other damage was caused to the vehicle. Thanks to the care of removal, no other damage was done and all we had was a cracked windshield that occurred when the tree initially fell. After completing that tree removal, they started immediately on removing the tree from our yard. I was super impressed at how fast and efficient they worked to remove both trees. All of this was completed within 2 1/2 hours with only 3 guys. The clean up was just as impressive…there was nothing left that would make you think a tree was removed. They even cleaned all of the debris from the car. I would never hesitate to call them if I ever need a tree removed again, and definitely recommend using them if you need tree removal. Thank you Mike and crew…you did a fantastic job!!!read more

Vicky P.

Mike and crew were on time and very professional. Started on time and stayed till work was done 12 and half hours later. Took down a very large tree and ground down the stump. Thanks Mike and guys. Would totally recommend Hufnagel Tree Service to anyone seeking tree service. Thanks again.

Bruce H.

I've had Mike do a couple jobs for me over the years and he's always responsive, reasonable, and professional.The first week in our new home a large tree limb fell on our roof during a storm. I called Mike to do the clean up and he personally showed up the same day to clear the tree limb off the roof in the rain. This allowed me to patch the roof to stop the rain from coming in. His crew came back a couple days later to cut down the remainder of the tree. They did a great job and the fact... that he showed up for me immediately was huge. I won't use another tree service.read more

Maxwell C.

Look no further for any tree removal or pruning needs. I needed to remove about 10 massive oak trees, many of which were covered in poison ivy. Contacted Mike late on Friday, he was there for an estimate on Saturday morning, and completed the entire job on Tuesday. The work was outstanding. His employees navigated through difficult conditions and left my property pristine. Unknown to me at the time, Mike even contacted the power company to remove branches hanging over power lines the day before... he came. Over the process, Mike did not try to sell me anything and provided very fair pricing. Hufnagel exceeded all my expectations, and I will continue using this company for any tree-related needs.read more

Jarrett S.

My experience with Mike Hufnagel and is team was fantastic. My former tree service company hadn't returned my call. We had a 15' plus pine tree in between trees, bushes, and electric wires on an incline. I located Mike's company in the BBB booklet. After doing further research I contacted Mike. He returned my call the same day. Mike came out the following day, on a weekend, to look at the tree. He proved a great price and returned that week with his crew.The was a job at my father's house. My... father was SO pleased with the price and the experience showed by Mike and his team. My father pulled up a chair and watched them in amazement. Mike took time to speak with my Father and provided advice on other trees. The tree was cut down to the ground which was further than I expected, I was happy. The area was cleaned as the team worked. Based on our performance I would recommend Hufnagel Tree Service.read more

Lisa D.

In a recent storm a very large branch from our neighbor’s tree decided to come crashing down onto our garage. We asked around for recommendations and most were for Hufnagel. We called them and they came out first thing the next day. We got an estimate and a promise that the limb would be removed this afternoon. The crew showed up and in less than two hours the tree limb was gone, they had cleaned up all the twigs and sawdust, and were done. What incredible service. Our neighbor was so impressed... he hired them to come back the following Monday to remove the rest of the tree. I would not hesitate to hire them again if needed, nor would I hesitate to recommend them. Great job guys!read more

Toby M.

Mike really bent over backwards for me on this work. He quoted a certain job and left a portion of the work undone because my 85 yr old mother told him to, but she was wrong. Mike came back on a separate trip to finish the job. Very professional and reliable. Does what he says.

Donald H.

Mike from Hufnagel & his crew came today (May 5, 2022) very happy with their services & price. We would recommend Hufnagle and we will continue to use them for our tree services in the future.

John A.

Very professional and clean. Can’t say more about the job they did. The clean up was unbelievable. I would very highly recommend.

Jane R.

We contacted Hufnagel to get the trees in our backyard trimmed up because many of the branches were drooping and getting out of control. They called me a couple hours after I emailed, came out to give us an estimate the same day and we booked for the next day! Super professional and friendly team and they fixed our trees right up. Thank you! We will definitely use them again in the future!

Daneka Hopper O.

The arborist came to my house in highlands and trimmed a tree with branches touching the roof and getting close to the powerlines. He was knowledgeable, timely and price was fair. Thank you

Andrew B.

We highly recommend Hufnagel Tree Service. They did a great job removing a tree for us in Sea Bright. We came from Piscataway to meet them, and they showed up right on time. The job and clean up were done safely and efficiently. Narrow streets, summer parking conditions and a limited work area were all handled without a problem. Thanks, guys!

Sharon

Mike is really a wonderful arborist. We have used his service twice and this time was as impressive as the last time several years ago. He and his team are completely professional, friendly, easy to work with, and thorough. Mike really listens to the details of what you want done and makes sure that you are happy with the work. He and his team arrived on time, did a fantastic job and the clean up was excellent. His team is truly experienced with all the correct equipment and especially... safety equipment. My trees and yard never looked so good.read more

Mike and employees are absolutely professionals at what they do.I called Mike and left a message on a Sunday afternoon for some tree trimming and he got back to me promptly on Monday. By Tuesday at noon he was at my house providing me with exceptional customer service and professional advice on both the tree he serviced another tree on my property.
