Tree and Shrub Care in Bergen County, NJ
Complimentary Assessment | ISA-Certified Arborists | Licensed and Insured in NJ | 30 Years Family-Owned
North Eastern Tree, Shrub & Lawn Care provides tree care in Bergen County, NJ for homeowners who want healthy trees and shrubs without the guesswork. Our arborists find problems early and treat them with mostly organic care. You get a clear plan and honest advice.
Tree Care in Bergen County Done Right
Big trees take decades to grow. They can be lost in one bad season. Bugs, disease and stress add up slowly, and most people do not notice until a tree is in real trouble.
We stop that from happening. A licensed arborist visits your home and checks every tree and shrub. We look at leaves, bark, roots and soil. Then we build a plan to keep your yard healthy year after year.
We are a plant health care company. We do not take trees down. We keep them standing strong.
One customer described it well: “Anthony did a thorough job, pointed out items that needed attention, and added required additional treatments during his visit. He left a very complete list of items covered and explained what to look for in the future.”
Serving Bergen County, From Alpine to Wyckoff
We have cared for Bergen County trees and shrubs for years. We serve Alpine, Tenafly and Old Tappan near the Palisades. We serve Saddle River, Upper Saddle River, Ho-Ho-Kus, Ridgewood and Wyckoff. And we serve the towns around them.
Bergen County has beautiful old neighborhoods full of tall oaks, maples and evergreens. Many homes sit on wooded lots. That means lots of shade, lots of roots and lots of plants to look after.
Some of our New Jersey customers have stayed with us for many years. A few even kept us after they moved to Connecticut.
What Bergen County Trees and Shrubs Are Up Against
Spotted lanternfly. This bug has spread all over New Jersey. It sucks sap from maples, black walnut, willow, birch and fruit trees. Its favorite tree is tree of heaven. We spray at each life stage to knock it down.
Spongy moth and other leaf eaters. Spongy moth caterpillars can strip an oak bare. Many trees can handle it once. Two or three years in a row can kill them. We protect oaks before the damage starts.
Diseases on trees and shrubs. Leaf spot, blight and boxwood problems are common in shady, humid yards. We find them early and treat them.
Deer. Deer love to eat azaleas, rhododendrons, arborvitae and hostas. Our deer repellent and winterization spray help keep them away.
Ticks and mosquitoes. Wooded yards bring ticks. Wet spots bring mosquitoes. Our yard treatments help you take your backyard back.
Organic Tree and Shrub Care That Starts With the Soil
Good soil grows good trees. We feed the soil with organic, OMRI-listed products. That wakes up the living things in the dirt that help roots find food and water. Strong roots help trees fight bugs and bad weather.
Organic care is our default. It is safe for kids, pets and bees when used as directed. If you want faster results, we also offer traditional and blended programs.
Our Year-Round Tree and Shrub Care Calendar
Here is what a typical year looks like for a Bergen County yard:
- Spring (April to May): We check every tree and shrub. Insect and disease treatments start. Organic feeding begins. Tick treatments start.
- Summer (June to August): Spotted lanternfly sprays run June to October. Mosquito treatments run May to September. We keep watching for bugs and fungus.
- Fall (September to October): Fall feeding gets roots ready for winter. Insect and disease treatments end by late October.
- Late fall (October to December): Plant winterization protects evergreens from winter burn and deer.
- Winter (November to March): Best time to prune. Trees are asleep and heal well.

Frequently Asked Questions About Tree Care in Bergen County
Do you really serve New Jersey from Connecticut?
Yes. We have served Bergen County families for years, and we are licensed and insured in New Jersey. Our technicians cover Bergen County all season long.
Do you take down trees or grind stumps?
No. We keep trees and shrubs healthy. We prune, treat, feed and protect. If a tree cannot be saved, we will tell you honestly.
How do you treat spotted lanternfly?
We spray at each life stage, from June to October. We focus on the trees they like most, like tree of heaven, maples, black walnut, willow and birch. Catching them early keeps numbers down.
My oak trees lost their leaves to caterpillars. Will they be OK?
Most healthy oaks can grow new leaves after one bad year. Two or three years in a row can be deadly. We can treat your oaks in spring before caterpillars hatch and feed the soil so the tree recovers faster.
How do I keep deer from eating my shrubs?
Our deer repellent treatments make shrubs taste bad to deer. Our plant winterization spray also has deer repellent in it, so your plants get protection all winter.
Are your treatments safe for kids and pets?
We use mostly organic products, and our licensed applicators follow every label. Your technician will tell you when it is safe to go back outside.
When is the best time to prune trees?
Late fall and winter for most trees. They are dormant, so cuts heal well. Some flowering trees are best pruned right after they bloom.
Do you also treat lawns?
Yes. We do not mow, but we treat lawns with soil testing, organic feeding, weed control, aeration and overseeding, fungus treatment and lawn restoration.
