Assessing Possible Safety Hazards at Bowman’s Hill Tower
Bowman’s Hill Tower is a historic landmark and scenic lookout located in Washington Crossing Historic Park that draws visitors throughout the year. Several large oaks had grown close to the tower, nearby buildings, and public walkways. The trees carried dead and overextended branches, putting anyone passing through the area at risk.
Once they arrived, the T&T Tree Service crew walked the site and evaluated each tree before starting the pruning process. They identified which branches needed to come down for safety, which needed trimming for growth control, and which to leave alone to protect each tree’s natural form.
Professionally Pruning the Large Oak Trees
T&T Tree Service worked carefully through each tree, targeting deadwood removal first. The oaks towered over the walkways and landmark below, so the crew controlled every cut to make sure no limbs fell onto the path or struck the structure on the way down.
The crew didn’t just cut back what looked overgrown; they focused on long-term tree health and branch structure by removing dead limbs, reducing weight on overextended branches, and opening the canopy.
When the crew finished, the oaks looked clean, the walkways were clear, and the tower and surrounding structures were no longer at risk. The crew recommended regular seasonal pruning to control branch growth and remove deadwood before it turns into a safety hazard.
