“It will be a shame for the old stuff to find it’s way into a dumpster”

Nancy R ~
I recently hired Chris to clean out a house that had been in our family for over 100 years. You can imagine how much stuff accumulated over that period. Chris came out to the house promptly after I called for an estimate. He took a good look at what the job entailed and quoted me a very reasonable price. He even agreed to do the job in phases, as I had lots of stuff to go through. Chris worked quickly and efficiently until the entire house was empty. I would recommend Chris in a heartbeat. He is a hard worker and an honest person.

Chris’s Legacy
Forty years is a long time.
But then again, it goes by so fast.
I started my business back in 1982, just out of college, with nothing more
than a pick-up truck, a chain saw, and a lot of grit and determination. Realizing early on that to really make my mark in the tree business, I needed
to get the machines to work for me. I was among the first in the Walpole
area to get a stump grinder, and also the first to buy a crane which allowed
me to take down the biggest of trees. And I began to grow my tree business each year, for forty years, with quality equipment and an exceptional team of workers. And now, I, Chris Galasso, have decided that it is time for me to retire from taking down and pruning trees and sell my much-loved business.
Galasso Tree
I want to thank everyone who helped me and my tree business to succeed in Walpole and throughout the surrounding towns – for this I am forever grateful. There are far too many stories that I could tell, most of them good, but yes, some not so good. But I tried each and every day to ‘hit the mark’ – and most times I, and my team, did! I depended on my team to get the jobs done day after day. In particular, Eric (Bucky) Buckman, my crane operator and chief foreman who has worked with me over 30 years – I cannot thank him enough for his dedication, service, and friendship. Over the years I made many friends, some are repeat customers, others the many contractors that
hired me to start their jobs by removing trees for additions, new homes, or pools. I loved living and working in Walpole; however, I do not consider myself to be a true ‘townie’ because I went to Xaverian Brothers High School instead of joining the Rebels at Walpole High.
After 40 years in the tree business, I have decided to sell my company name, my business phone number and my equipment to Al Royer Jr from Dedham. I believe that Al Jr has what it takes to run a successful tree business. It is ‘in his blood’, following his father, grandfather, and uncle - three generations of successful tree specialists. Al Jr has decided to make Walpole his new home and I hope that everyone welcomes him with open arms, just as you did for me and my family nearly 65 years ago. My family has always been there for me over the years, and my brother Michael has worked side-by-side with me and my team.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for the past 40 years.
God bless.
Chris Galasso (the tree guy & the bird guy!)
PS - If I see you at the old Country Kitchen, I will gladly share a coffee and a tall tale with you. Or some evening at the Red Wing Diner for a beeah and a pizza!

Who pays if tree trimming damages fence between neighbors?

Q: I have a large tree on my property close to the property line that I have been trimming for years. Some branches fall on the property line, and some in the neighbor’s yard. This has never been an issue until the neighbor installed a fence on the property line. Now the neighbor says if I damage her fence, she’ll charge me to repair it. Can she?

A: Every year around this time, I get many questions about trees, so this is an excellent time to review the basics of the law.
If your tree’s limbs or roots extend over the property line, your neighbor may trim them if doing so does not hurt the tree’s health. Your neighbor must do this before it damages their property. This is because the law not only allows a homeowner to protect their property in a situation like this, it also requires it.
If the tree is healthy and a branch or root damages a neighboring property, the neighbor is responsible for the damage it causes.
That said, if the tree is unhealthy, the responsibility for the damage will belong to the tree’s owner.
Your situation has a twist because you have taken on your neighbor’s responsibility to trim the branches on her side of the property line.
With this added responsibility, you also assume the duty to do it in a way that does not damage her property. This was easy enough to do when there was nothing expensive for the branches to fall on.
Now that your neighbor has put up a fence and put you on notice that she intends to hold you responsible if the fence is damaged, your safest course is to stop trimming the parts of the tree that extend past the property line.
Your neighbor will have to do the trimming, and if in doing so she damages her fence, the repairs will be on her dime.

Tree on property line is shared
Check with neighbors before removing!
Q.
Could you please clarify the obligation of neighbors who have a tree that straddles the property line? Out insurance company is requiring that the tree come down due to liability to the house. Should out neighbor have to pay some portion of the bill to remove the tree?
A.
When a tree straddles the property line, it creates a few thorny issues to resolve
To do so, we will need to first look at tree law in other situations. When a tree is on your neighbor’s property, but its limbs or roots extend onto your property, you have the right to trim them back to the property line so long as you do not damage the overall health of the tree.
You also have the responsibility to do this before it hurts your property. If your neighbor’s tree is healthy and a branch breaks off in a storm, you cannot hold your neighbor responsible, even if it falls on your roof. The law both allows and requires you to protect your property in this situation by trimming the branches back.
However, if the tree in unhealthy or dead when it falls, your neighbor will be responsible for the damage it causes. This is an incentive for him to maintain his property in a way that does not harm others.
Both parties own a tree that straddles the property line. Trimming the branches and cleaning up the fallen leaves is up to each owner on their side of the line
Removing the tree must be agreed upon by both owners.
If one owner removes the tree without the other’s permission, they may be liable for not only the value of the tree but for the comfort and enjoyment the tree provided.
In the landmark case on this issue, the adjoining owner was compensated for the missing shade the tree provided, along with the value of the removed tree.
In your situation, do not remove the tree without your neighbor’s written consent. To get that consent, it will probably mean that you will need to pay for the removal yourself, but that is better than getting sued.
