About Hillsborough

Hillsborough is a large, partly rural township of farms, woodland and newer subdivisions, with villages such as Neshanic Station, Belle Mead and Flagtown.

Within Hillsborough, you will hear Neshanic Station, Belle Mead, Flagtown used to place an address.

Around Hillsborough, where yards are big and woodland is close, trees tend to be oak, hickory, tulip poplar and black locust, with red cedar along fence lines and old field edges. Long driveways and distance from the road make access a bigger part of any job.

Common jobs: storm-downed trees across a driveway or fence line, large trees near outbuildings, and clearing overgrown field edges or part of a lot.

Pricing: what to expect

No two tree jobs cost the same, and the biggest variable is the tree itself (the pricing guide has sources). In Hillsborough, these are the things that move a quote.

• How big it is. Published cost guides put tree height ahead of every other factor, in Hillsborough as elsewhere.
• Long hauls. On big Hillsborough properties the wood may travel a long way, and heavy equipment may need firm ground.
• Targets. The nearer a Hillsborough tree is to a building or a line, the slower and costlier the cut.
• Town paperwork. A permit application, fee or replacement planting in Hillsborough (see below) adds to the total.
• Scope. Two Hillsborough quotes can differ simply because one leaves the wood and stump behind.
