Is it diseased? Is it a danger to your house or to others?
You may want to ask a consulting arborist first rather than a specialist in tree removal.
According to the American Society of Consulting Arborists in Rockville, Maryland, consulting arborists "are dedicated to the objective assessment of trees, the enhancement of the community and the protection of the environment."
Homeowners may seek a consulting arborist for:
- Knowledge of tree care, preservation, and maintenance
- Expertise about tree and plant selection and planting
- Assessment and identification of tree risks and hazards
- Advice on tree preservation
- Appraisal of trees
- An investigation into tree disputes and negligence
- Inspection of plant material and tree issues

Kilmer Park, the newest of Cheverly's parks, was purchased by the town in 2015 and annexed in 2017. Through a public process, citizens made many suggestions for uses within the park. There is a dog waste station, and many who have already taken the survey walk their dogs in the park. Cub Scouts have helped plant berry bushes along the sidewalk. We hope that will be the beginning of a food garden within the park whose produce will be available to all. There is already a fruiting persimmon tree. The park is open to pedestrians, with limited street parking. It is closed to vehicles.
