Why trees uproot in Delran

Many of the trees homeowners call about in Delran do not snap; they tip. Low-lying ground near the Delaware riverfront, around Bridgeboro and along the Rancocas Creek can stay saturated after heavy rain or tropical storm remnants. Wet soil holds roots poorly, and a strong gust can then pull up the whole root plate. A few signs a tree may be at risk:

Soil cracking or heaving on one side of the trunk after a storm.
A lean that was not there before, or that has gotten worse.
Roots cut by past trenching, sidewalk or driveway work.
Standing water around the base for days after rain.

Uprooted trees are tricky to remove

When a tree tips, the root plate can stand up like a wall with a crater behind it. Once the trunk is cut, that root plate can snap back into the hole with great force. This is a job for a professional, and it may also involve underground utilities torn up by the roots, so mention any lines near the tree.

Riverfront and route corridors

Homes near the river catch wind with nothing to slow it down. Neighborhoods off Route 130, Hartford Road, Bridgeboro Road and Chester Avenue range from older capes to newer developments, each with its own mix of big shade trees and smaller ornamentals. For newer subdivisions, look out for Callery pears, which commonly split in storms.

Low-lying and flood-prone lots

If your property is in a flood zone or near wetlands, some work near the water may need approval. Ask your contractor, and check with the township if you plan to clear more than a tree or two.

Covering all of Delran

Requests come in from Bridgeboro, the riverfront neighborhoods and subdivisions off Hartford Road, and from streets along Route 130, Hartford Road, Bridgeboro Road and Chester Avenue (ZIP 08075). The Delran Township area sits near the Delaware River and Rancocas Creek, so mention in your request if your property is low-lying or close to the water.

Delran questions

A tree tipped but did not hit anything. Is it still urgent?

It can be. A partly uprooted tree can continue to fall and the root plate can be unstable. Keep people away and mark the request urgent.

Can a tipped tree be stood back up?

Small young trees sometimes can be staked. Large mature trees with torn roots usually cannot be saved safely.
