What Local Trees Are Up Against
Sassafras sandy loam soils, mature hardwood canopies, and seasonal storm exposure create a specific set of tree hazards across Bordentown. These are the conditions our NJ Licensed Tree Expert (#200988) and ISA Certified Arborist encounter and address on local properties.

New development in the township pressures existing canopy
Rural portions have large trees requiring crane access
Bordentown Township nearly surrounds the separate Bordentown City and shares a border with Fieldsboro (also a separate small borough inside the township area) — Chapter 442's 8-inch DBH protection threshold (adopted August 2022 under NJDEP stormwater alignment) applies to documented sections like Bossert Estates, Dunns Mill, and the Newbold Island area along Crosswicks Creek
Verifiable License Numbers
Why Licensing Matters
Before any chainsaw starts in Bordentown, here are the credentials standing behind the work: the state-required NJ Licensed Tree Expert designation, voluntary ISA arboricultural certification, contractor and safety licenses — each tied to a public registration number you can verify.

Why this matters in Bordentown: Under New Jersey's Tree Expert and Tree Care Operators Licensing Act (N.J.S.A. 45:15C-13 et seq., adopted 2010), it is unlawful to advertise or perform tree care services for compensation without an LTE license. Hiring an unlicensed tree service exposes property owners to liability and may void homeowner's insurance claims if damage or injury occurs. Pro-Stump's NJ LTE #200988 (Glenn Donnelly) and LTCO #767797 are both publicly verifiable.
Common Trees in Our Service Area
Burlington County's Atsion sand supports 4 dominant species across Bordentown. Growth rates, root depth, and failure patterns vary significantly — accurate species identification drives every arboricultural decision.
Understanding Bordentown's Soil & Root Environment
The soil profile under Bordentown Township is primarily Atsion sand, with pockets of Alluvial floodplain soils along Rancocas Creek in lower-lying areas. This composition directly affects how tree roots develop, how well they anchor in storms, and how quickly they recover from drought stress. Our arborist factors soil type into every assessment — it influences pruning schedules, removal complexity, and the species we recommend for replacement plantings.
Licensed & Certified Tree Care
NJ Licensed Tree Expert #200988
Glenn Donnelly holds New Jersey LTE #200988 — the state license required under NJ's Tree Expert and Tree Care Operators Licensing Act to perform commercial tree care. With an ISA Certified Arborist also on staff, every Bordentown job is evaluated to state-licensed and ISA standards before work begins.

Bordentown Tree Care Calendar
Spring (Mar–May)
Burlington County's mix of clay and loam soils hold winter moisture, which promotes root rot in Red Oak. Inspect for fungal growth at the base and schedule crown cleaning before April leaf-out. Young trees benefit from formative pruning now.
Summer (Jun–Aug)
Clay-heavy areas of Burlington County retain heat and moisture — perfect conditions for fungal diseases on Red Oak and Tulip Poplar. Thin canopies to improve airflow. Avoid oak pruning April–August. Firm ground makes stump grinding easier.
Fall (Sep–Nov)
Area hardwoods enter dormancy by late October. Burlington County's inland location means early frosts — schedule pruning before the ground freezes. Remove hazardous trees near structures before winter ice storms.
Winter (Dec–Feb)
Dormant-season pruning exposes the full branching pattern of Red Oak and other species. Burlington County's heavy snowfall can overload weak branch unions. Address co-dominant stems and deadwood now. Emergency service available 24/7.
Navigating Bordentown Township's Tree Ordinances
Bordentown Township Code Chapter 442 (Tree Removal and Replacement), adopted August 15, 2022, regulates removal of trees 8 inches DBH or greater, with replacement-planting requirements. Note: Bordentown City — the small historic borough on the Delaware River, almost completely surrounded by Bordentown Township — is a separate municipality with its own Chapter 230 Shade Trees ordinance.
Permits in Bordentown (zip 08505) are the property owner's responsibility per our standard terms, but Pro-Stump Tree Service will walk you through the local requirements and provide the arborist reports and documentation your application needs — so your project stays in full compliance.
