Common tree problems in Burlington Township
Compared with its downtown neighbor, Burlington Township has bigger lots, more woods and more open ground, and that changes the kind of tree calls homeowners make.
- Wooded back property lines. Many subdivisions off Mount Holly Road (Route 541), Columbus Road and Old York Road back onto tree lines left from older farmland and woodlots. Those edge trees grew up in a forest and are exposed to wind on one side, which makes them prone to tipping in saturated soil.
- Trees across long driveways. On larger lots, the urgent call is often not a tree on the house but a tree blocking the only way out. Mention that in your request so the contractor knows it is about access.
- Ash in the woods. Native ash is common in wet woods along streams like the Assiscunk Creek. Emerald ash borer has killed ash across New Jersey, and dead ash near a house or driveway gets more brittle each year it stands.
- Room for equipment. The upside of bigger lots: trucks and chippers can often get close, and some trees can be felled in one piece, which can make a job simpler than the same tree in a tight neighborhood.
Before you cut near the woods
If the tree is in a wooded strip that might be common open space owned by a homeowners association, or near a stream or wetland, check ownership and rules before removal. Clearing in regulated wetlands or stream buffers can need state approval. Your partner contractor and the township's zoning office can help you figure out what applies.
Covering all of Burlington Township
Requests come in from subdivisions off Route 541, older homes near the city line and larger lots toward the Springfield and Florence borders, and from streets along Route 130, Mount Holly Road (Route 541), Columbus Road and Old York Road (ZIP 08016). The Burlington Township area sits near the Delaware River and Assiscunk Creek, so mention in your request if your property is low-lying or close to the water.
Burlington Township questions
A tree from the woods behind my house fell into my yard. Who owns it?
Whoever owns the land where the tree stood. If it is HOA open space or a neighbor's lot, contact them first. Photograph the damage and call your insurer.
Can the contractor leave the wood for firewood?
Usually, if you ask. Many contractors will cut logs to length and leave them, which can change the price. Say so in your request.
