Reason for removal of maple tree
- May 2021: Very large branch fell on the roof of neighbor’s house, causing serious damages,
including a portion that punctured the roof and the kitchen ceiling.
o Afterward we hired a tree trimming company to trim the tree, including the
removal of several dead or at-risk branches.
- New growth on the tree was also unstable and resulted in another large branch falling on
the same neighbor’s property and damaging a shed.
The tree trimming service noted that the tree was unhealthy and recommended removal. The tree
was cut down, and disease was evident in the trunk (see attached pictures).
We love our tress, especially our old maples, and the decision to remove it was made reluctantly,
but it was apparent that it had become a hazard. We have planted several trees in the 20 years that
we’ve resided here. There are 4 recently planted evergreens growing in the same area as the maple
that was removed.
We were not aware of the need for a permit to remove a tree on our property.
