Hamlett’s Tree Service — Tree Service in Skillman, NJ

Skillman sits in a stretch of Montgomery Township defined by rolling meadow, wooded ridgelines, and estate lots that put mature specimen trees front and center. Properties along Route 601, Burnt Hill Road, and the wooded backroads north of Princeton usually come with a serious inventory of oaks, hickories, black walnuts, and old sugar maples — trees that reward good pruning and punish neglect in dramatic fashion. Hamlett's Tree Service has been the crew Skillman homeowners trust with those trees since 1994.

The higher elevations around Skillman catch wind. When a nor'easter tracks up the Delaware or a summer thunderstorm rolls off the Sourlands, the exposed ridgetop lots take the brunt of it — and we get the calls. Because Joe Hamlett has been reading storm damage in this exact microclimate for three decades, we know how to prioritize the tree still hung up in the canopy over the stem that already dropped, and we know which species tend to fail where in a Skillman blowdown.

Routine work matters here just as much as emergency response. Older Skillman properties tend to have decades of past pruning, some of it done well, some of it done by whoever was cheapest that summer. Joe walks each tree, tells you honestly what corrective pruning will help, what deadwood needs to come out, and — occasionally — which tree is past saving and should come down before it takes the roof with it.

Fully licensed and insured, certified tree service specialists, 30+ years working the same townships. If you own trees in Skillman, we're the crew you want on speed dial.
