Tree care advice for Exeter property owners
Exeter’s wooded uplands and brook corridors can call for different staging even on a single property. Near a low crossing, take note of water levels and the condition of the approach after rain. A stable-looking spot near the tree is of little use if the only route crosses saturated soil.
If a stream-side tree is leaning, ask whether it has moved or simply grown in that direction over time. Photograph the tree and bank from a safe place. Management choices depend on the condition of the roots and what the tree could reach, as well as restrictions on disturbing the bank.
Planning tree work on your property
Take a wide photo of the tree and the brook rather than standing near exposed roots to take a close one. Tell us whether the bank changed after heavy water and what the tree could reach. Check whether an upland approach can keep the work away from the wet edge.
A Fisherville Brook property can have firm ground close to the house and a separate soft stretch before the tree. Tell us which side stays dry longest, and point out old crossings or changes after heavy rain. If there is also an upland tree with unrelated symptoms, describe the two separately. They may need different inspection priorities and different approaches to handling debris.
Beside Fisherville Brook, take a photo from the upland side that shows whether a tree could be reached without using the ground by the bank.

Exeter Tree Care FAQ
Does a leaning tree by a brook need to come down?
Not all leans indicate recent movement. Look from a safe position for changes in the bank, the root plate or the direction of the trunk. Say whether the tree could reach a drive or occupied structure. If work could affect the bank, find out who has jurisdiction before agreeing on removal. An upland option may change how much disturbance the work would involve.
Do I need a tree removal permit in Exeter?
Contact the Exeter tree warden or building department before removing any tree near public property. Ask about freshwater wetland jurisdiction before disturbing a bank, wetland or protected area.
