Evesham rules worth knowing before a tree comes down
- Curbside trees are generally the owner's responsibility. Evesham's Public Works FAQ says property owners are responsible for maintaining or removing curbside trees. The township removes a curbside tree when it is a public safety hazard, such as a dead or failing tree, during its seasonal removal periods.
- Road Opening Permit. If you hire your own contractor to remove a dead curbside tree or one whose roots are damaging the sidewalk, the township says you must get a Road Opening Permit before the work.
- Sidewalk shared service program. Evesham has offered a program where, if a curbside tree is lifting the sidewalk, the township removes the tree, stump and roots and the homeowner replaces the sidewalk at their own cost. Call Evesham Public Works to ask whether it applies.
- Chapter 144, Tree Removal and Replacement. The ordinance allows homeowners to remove a small number of trees (fewer than four qualifying trees per acre within five years) without replacement. For a hazardous tree, it asks for written justification and photos plus documentation from a licensed tree expert or certified arborist.
Marlton's neighborhoods and trees
Kings Grant and Marlton Lakes were built around lakes and wooded open space, so many homes back onto tall trees, some owned by the community association. Check your association's rules before removing trees on or near common ground. Older homes around the Main Street village and in subdivisions off Route 70, Route 73, Elmwood Road and Tomlinson Mill Road often have shade trees that are now far bigger than the builders expected.
Two electric utilities
Evesham is served by both PSE&G and Atlantic City Electric, depending on the area. If a tree is on a line, call the utility that serves your street. The township's FAQ notes the pole tag number helps.
Covering all of Marlton
Requests come in from Kings Grant, Marlton Lakes, the Main Street village and subdivisions off Route 70, and from streets along Route 70, Route 73, Main Street, Elmwood Road, Tomlinson Mill Road and Evesboro-Medford Road (ZIP 08053). The Evesham Township area sits near the lakes of Kings Grant and Marlton Lakes and the streams that feed the Rancocas, so mention in your request if your property is low-lying or close to the water.
Marlton questions
Does Evesham pick up brush from a tree removal?
Evesham runs a brush collection program, but contractor-generated debris from a full removal is usually hauled by the contractor. Ask what the estimate includes.
Who do I call if a curbside tree looks dangerous?
Evesham Public Works can evaluate curbside trees that may be a public safety hazard. For a tree on your own lot, a licensed tree professional can assess it.
