About Tamke

Warren S. Tamke founded Tamke Tree Experts; incorporating in 1967 with little more than a phone, a card table and a dream. His love for trees and attention to "proper" care, not only helped to nurture the plants but also the relationships with our customers. His teachings still resonate among our long-time employees who remember him fondly.

Trees should be preserved and admired. Well cared-for trees add beauty, safety and considerable value to your property, while poorly maintained trees can have the opposite effect.

Hiring an arborist is an important investment into your property. Tree work should be performed only by those that have been properly trained and equipped to work safely in trees. Tamke Tree Experts is a registered New Jersey Tree Care Company (NJTC), and as such, is certified to perform all arboricultural services to promote beautiful and healthy plants.

A Licensed business is required to provide safe work and proper training. A licensed business must carry minimum levels of liability insurance and provide proof of adherence to workers compensation rules. A licensed business must have at least one licensed tree expert (LTE) on staff—Tamke currently has five (5).

Licensing requirements are in place to protect the consumer. Licensing requirements necessitate continuing education to help keep our tree experts abreast of new techniques, equipment and research findings. Further, Licensing helps to create a better trained and more knowledgeable workforce.

Our customers and the trees we care for reap benefits of the knowledge and expertise we offer. Customers can be assured that we will work safely and are properly insured. Our customers can have peace of mind in the business ethics and standards to which a licensed company must adhere.

Tamke was one of the first companies in New Jersey to be accredited by the Tree Care Industry Association (TCIA) for adherence to Ethical Business Practices and provision of Quality Services.

The TCIA, a national association with over 2,000 member companies, develops safety and education programs and helps to ensure the standards set for the tree care industry. The accreditation is a voluntary process developed to verify “best practices” by tree care companies and to safeguard the consumers. Our customers can rest assured that they are receiving the “best of the best” with Tamke.

The accreditation represents those companies that meet TCIA’s highest standards for Ethics, Quality and Confidence. Once approved, the accredited company undergoes an audit every three years which includes: consumer satisfaction, best business practices, business ethics, employee training, safety, quality, industry standards, arborist certifications, insurance coverage, work estimates and specifications.

We share our pride in this accreditation with all our employees and our customers. We hope that more companies will apply for accreditation. Too many times we see and hear about improper practices by other tree services. People deserve proper advice and quality service; and our trees deserve the best.
