The Reality

Trees Don't Wait for Convenient Timing

That dead branch hanging over your roof. The tree leaning toward your neighbor's fence. The roots cracking your driveway. Every day you wait, the risk grows—and so does the eventual cost.

Property Damage Risk

A single falling branch can cause thousands in damage to your home, car, or fence. Storm season doesn't send warnings.

Liability Concerns

If your tree damages a neighbor's property, you could be held responsible. Documented neglect makes it worse.

Escalating Costs

Small problems become big ones. A $300 trimming job today could be a $3,000 emergency removal tomorrow.

Tree Health Decline

Diseased trees spread problems to healthy ones. What starts with one tree can affect your entire landscape.

Garry Heitz

Owner & Lead Arborist

When I started Heitz Tree Service in 1999, I made a simple promise: treat every property like it's my own. Twenty-six years and 20,000+ customers later, that promise hasn't changed.

This is a family business in every sense. My family works alongside me, and we've built our reputation one satisfied customer at a time. When you call Heitz, you're not getting a call center—you're getting people who stake their name on every job.

"We don't just cut trees—we protect properties, preserve landscapes, and give homeowners peace of mind. That's what 26 years of experience really means."

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does tree removal cost?

Tree removal costs vary based on size, location, and complexity. A small tree might cost $300-$500, while a large tree near structures could be $1,500-$3,000+. We provide free on-site estimates with no obligation—the only way to get an accurate quote is for us to see the tree in person.

Are you fully insured?

Yes, absolutely. We carry comprehensive general liability insurance and workers' compensation coverage. We're happy to provide certificates of insurance upon request. Never hire a tree service that can't prove they're insured—it puts your property and finances at serious risk.

Do you offer emergency services?

Yes, we provide 24/7 emergency tree services. If a tree has fallen on your home, is blocking your driveway, or poses an immediate danger, call us at (856) 563-1835. We prioritize emergency calls and respond as quickly as possible.

What happens to the wood and debris?

We handle complete cleanup as part of our service. Wood is chipped on-site or hauled away, and we leave your property cleaner than we found it. If you want to keep the wood for firewood, just let us know—we can cut it to length and stack it for you.

How do I know if a tree needs to be removed?

Warning signs include dead branches, leaning, fungal growth at the base, hollow trunk, root damage, or proximity to structures. If you're unsure, schedule a free assessment. We'll honestly tell you if removal is necessary or if trimming/treatment can save the tree.

What payment methods do you accept?

We accept cash, personal checks, and all major credit cards (Visa, Mastercard, Discover). We also work with insurance companies on storm damage claims and can provide the documentation needed for your claim.
