Annapolis asks two different things of a tree crew. Downtown and in the historic streets it's an access problem — brick sidewalks, parked cars, power lines and no room to drop anything. Out toward the water it's an exposure problem, with mature trees taking the full weight of a nor'easter or the tail of a hurricane coming up the Bay.
Every town we work in has its own quirks. Here's what shapes the job on your street.
On the older streets the work is done from rope and saddle, piece by piece, with the drop zone measured in feet. That is slower and it is the only way it gets done without touching the house, the wall or the car behind you.
Remnant tropical systems and nor'easters hit waterfront properties here harder than the forecast for the county suggests. After a blow, the calls are leaning trees and hangers — the limb that came loose but did not come down.
Not every mature tree needs removing. Crown reduction and deadwood removal buy years on a good tree, and we will say so when that is the honest answer — you are paying for the assessment either way.
