Guest Guest Posted July 28, 2009 Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 Do the workers at Harrison/Kearny Tree Service have any experience as an arborist? Just because a tree loses a branch in a storm, doesn't mean the WHOLE tree needs to come down. If the tree is diseased, that's one thing, but to take down an entire tree because of one fallen branch seems a bit extreme (especially when the tree is showing no signs of disease). Is an arborist consulted on the condition of a tree before it is chopped down? It appears the only thing these guys know is how to use a chainsaw. Does anyone know what experience or training they have? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone know what experience or training they have? Have you seen the work they do with that chainsaw? Be thankful they take the tree down, anything else would be worse - watching it die a slow death from disease and rot thanks to the hack job left behind. Are you kidding? An arborist? One could only dream. Send at least one to school for anything that might resemble an education in dendrology. We think alike but I doubt anyone there will listen. It's tough to understand polysyllabic words when you grunt your way through most of the day. Hug a tree today people - they need it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I asked if the tree they were removing was diseased and he said no. He seemed kind of sickened by the whole thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How can we change the policy of cutting down trees in Harrison if they only trim trees in Kearny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tree victim Posted July 31, 2009 Report Share Posted July 31, 2009 oh where to begin with this one Whoever came to remove the car wrecking tree branches from my car the other night - will know who I am. Anyone who passes by my wrecked car - knows who I am. So be it. Yes my car fell victim to falling branches last weekend. Yes I HAVE VIDEO of them chainsawing the limbs from our cars. Yes it was atrocious to stand by and watch them 'work'. At one point they even let the heavy branch/limb lean against a side mirror!!! They needed to carry it in pairs cause it was too heavy - but let's leave it pushing onto the mirror!!! I am truly AMAZED. And then I am amazed that I am so shocked. What I am most intrigued by is that my neighbor made requests to the town to have this very tree trimmed as he saw it to be a hazard. The sidewalk is becoming uneven. It reaches across the street. Town reply: Sure! But it will cost YOU $500 Neighbor's reply: Sure it's in front of my house. BUT it's on TOWN PROPERTY - you know the portion the town paid to redo? A couple days after the ACT OF GOD the town showed up to trim the ROTTING stumps from the tree. Little late don't you think. My neighbor requested AGAIN to get the tree resized. He has been added to a waiting list... my guess is that waiting list will get longer as ppl do not want to pay for town maintenance. IF I COULD FILE ACTION AGAINST THE TOWN FOR MY REPAIRS I WOULD. IF YOU CAN HELP - PLEASE LET ME KNOW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IF YOU CAN HELP - PLEASE LET ME KNOW. I think it should be a law that if a tree is cut down , a new one has to be put there , it is time to start being responsible for what We are doing to Mother Earth, Trees clean the air We breath as well, and Who the hell wants to hear the leaves are clogging My gutters or it is a pain in the neck to clean the sidewalk in the fall....We are paying for the neglect of this earth now and our Kids and Grandkids are even going to have it tougher than We have it now......They not to long ago cut down a healthy tree on My block because the people complained about it clogging their gutters on the house, well when You do not have them cleaned every so often they will get clogged , so I guess it is easier to cut down the tree....WHAT A SHAME.....PUT BACK SOME TREES...
