New Jersey Trees After Sandy

It has been a year since Super Storm Sandy, and New Jersey is still recovering. The colorful landscape that many neighborhoods were used to in years past, has been dwindling. The snow storm in 2011 caused major damage to trees that had not lost their leaves yet. Most trees snapped under the heavy weight of the snow and caused problems for most of Northern NJ. After Sandy, New Jersey has lost an estimated 400,000 trees.  Most of which took down power lines, crashed through homes and demolished cars.  After the storm many homeowners in New Jersey have started to view the trees on their property differently. A mass anxiety took over and the trees that were once believed to be ornamental decorations, are now viewed as a potential property damage threat.
Trees can become dangerous during these storms without proper maintenance. Poorly maintained trees can be susceptible to rot, weakened roots, trunks and limbs. All of which can cause major damage to property. Ensuring the health of your trees is crucial to protecting your property, and after both of the storms (Both occurred on October 29th) it has become more apparent now than ever.
If you are in fear that a tree is not healthy and does post a risk to your property and family it is a good idea to contact a professional tree removal service. North Jersey Tree Service is a full service Morris County tree company. They offer free estimates and will assess whether your tree is a risk, or if it can be maintained with proper care.

Tree Removal Ordinances

Depending on your town's ordinances, unauthorized tree removal could end up costing you big bucks. Many towns have strict guidelines, from the planting of trees, the number of trees and the removal of trees. It is extremely important to find out your town's tree laws. This is especially true depending on the type of tree you are trying to remove from your property.
Recently in Iowa punishments are pending for unauthorized tree removal. The property in question was purchased under the stipulation that seven trees would be removed. However the landscape design and trees were put in place by the Iowa Department of Transportation as part of a streetscape project, and were actually planted on city property. Because of this one of the parties in question needed the city's approval and special permits to proceed. Neither of those steps were taken prior to the removal.
In cases like this and any other tree removal services it is pertinent to hire a tree removal company that understands the laws surrounding tree removal. There are many steps that need to be taken before a tree can be removed, unless it has fallen and may be a danger. North Jersey Tree Service understands that tree removal is something that requires a superior attention to detail.

Are Your Trees Coming Back?

Nearly a year since Hurricane Sandy, the natural devastation that the storm wreaked on trees throughout the area seems over, but does this mean that the trees that are left standing are still healthy and growing? Just because a tree survived this storm does not necessarily mean it will continue to survive for very long. Intense damage to the roots, trunk and branches of trees that even may have been done a year ago may only now be manifesting themselves as we prepare ourselves for another winter, and this might also signify that you need some North Jersey tree service while you can take advantage of it.

Trees are built for survival, and are as sturdy a structure as nature puts out. A tree can survive after losing two-thirds of all of its branches. Trees regrow entire trunks after they have been shorn or broken. Regardless of this amazing quality, the growth points of branches and limbs can be a serious hazard and should be analyzed by a highly-trained professional to ensure that the growth is not malformed, flimsy and otherwise too frail to hold up the supporting branch.

Take some time and go over your property. Assess some areas of concern and call a tree professional to take a more experienced look. This precaution can make a huge difference.
