The Monmouth County Shade Tree maintains the trees along 400 miles of county roadways, Brookdale College and throughout the the Monmouth County Park system when requested. Routine trimming, hazardous tree removals, insect and disease control, tree replacement and capital planting projects are all part our daily routine. We also maintain the plant material at all 43 county facilities as well as the David C. Shaw Arboretum which is located on 22 acres in Holmdel Park. As you will see throughout our web site, we design and construct capital planting projects, memorial gardens and pocket parks when called upon. Our goal is to maintain a healthy tree environment throughout Monmouth County.
