When the neighborhood trees grow up
Willingboro began as Levittown, New Jersey, a planned community of roughly 11,000 homes organized into neighborhoods called "parks," such as Pennypacker Park, Somerset Park, Rittenhouse Park, Garfield Park, Twin Hills and Country Club Park. The houses were modest Cape Cods, ranchers and colonials on uniform lots. Many yards were planted with fast-growing shade trees when the homes were new. Six decades later, a lot of those trees are as tall as anything in the county and sit just a few yards from a single-story roof.
- Big trees, short houses. On a rancher, a large limb falling from 60 feet up lands with nothing in between. Deadwood and overhanging limbs are worth dealing with before storm season.
- Roots and sidewalks. Large trees in small front yards and curb strips often lift sidewalks and driveways. Check with the township about trees in the curb strip before removing one.
- Repetitive lot layouts. Similar lot sizes mean a contractor who has worked on your street often knows the access well, including whether a bucket truck can reach the backyard.
- Fast growers age differently. Fast-growing shade trees, popular in new subdivisions of that era, often have weaker wood and are more likely to drop limbs in wind and ice than slower-growing oaks.
No basements, but watch the sewer line
Willingboro's Levitt homes were built on concrete slabs without basements, so tree roots are less of a foundation-wall issue than in older towns. Roots can still find their way into older sewer laterals between the house and the street. If you have had root-related backups, tell the tree contractor; it can affect whether you remove a tree and how the stump is handled.

Willingboro questions
Can a tree contractor get into a Willingboro backyard?
Many backyards are reachable through a side yard gate with smaller equipment, and some trees can be reached from the street with a bucket truck or crane. The contractor will decide after a look.
Is it worth removing a healthy tree that is very close to my house?
It depends on the tree's condition and structure. A tree professional can tell you whether pruning or removal makes more sense for your situation.
