Mike's Outdoor Maintenance & Tree Removal Urges Property Owners to Prioritize Tree Safety Assessments.
Middletown, NY - A devastating ice storm last week left Middletown residents reeling when a massive maple tree collapsed onto a residential garage, crushing the structure and severing power lines. The incident, echoing similar recent events in Bridgeport and Greenwood Forest, where trees damaged roofs and utilities, underscores a critical question: Is your property at risk?

The Hidden Threat

The fallen maple tree had shown subtle signs of instability for months, including uneven growth and root exposure. Yet, like many homeowners, the property owners underestimated the danger until high winds and ice overloaded the tree. Tragedies like this are increasingly common across Sullivan and Orange Counties, where aging trees face extreme weather. As one resident recounted after a near-miss in Chapel Hill: "The trees threatened to hit our apartment building. We had to act fast".

Why "DIY" Won't Suffice

Tree removal is a high-stakes task, especially near structures or power lines. Middletown regulations often require permits for removing large trees, and improper handling can worsen damage or cause injuries . "When trees hang over parking areas or homes, precision is non-negotiable," emphasizes Mike, owner of *Mike's Outdoor Maintenance & Tree Removal [https://www.google.com/maps?cid=16082479644326058813]*. "Our team uses cranes, rigging gear, and industry-specific protocols to prevent collateral damage".

" Called Mike's Outdoor Maintenance & Tree Removal at 9.00 A.M. By noon the tree was gone leaving no scratch on my pavement. Excellent professionalism I must say".

A Warning from the Experts

"Trees become hazards silently," warns Mike. "Rot, cracks, or leaning trunks are red flags. Post-storm, even healthy trees can hold 'hangers'-broken limbs ready to fall." His team's recent intervention in Monticello removed three gum trees entangled in a storm-damaged maple, preventing a potential catastrophe.
