Manlius and Fayetteville are maple country. In Fayetteville, maples, mostly sugar and Norway, make up over 44% of the village’s street trees. The yards behind those streets look about the same.
Big old maples are beautiful right up until one splits at the crotch, or the roots start working on the foundation, or a limb the size of a tree hangs over the bedroom.
Happens all the time. It’s fixable.
Manlius and Fayetteville trees, by neighborhood
The villages. Older homes, mature trees, not a lot of room. Around the Village of Fayetteville and the Village of Manlius, a removal usually means a climber taking the tree apart piece by piece and lowering it past the roof, the fence, and the neighbor’s garage.
Along Limestone Creek and the Ledyard Canal. Creekside trees grow tall and lean toward the light, often toward the water and sometimes toward the house. Soft, wet ground and steep banks make them tougher to work around.
The hills and the newer subdivisions. Bigger lots, more woods, more wind. Ash that went in with the houses is dead or dying now. Emerald ash borer was reported in Manlius back in 2014, and the village’s own inventory found many of its ash trees already dead or dying.

Questions people ask
Do you cover both villages and the rest of the Town of Manlius?
Yes. The Village of Fayetteville, the Village of Manlius, and the surrounding Town of Manlius.
My big maple has a crack where the trunk splits. Is it going to fail?
It might. A crack at a split trunk is one of the more common ways big maples come apart. Sometimes the tree can be cabled or reduced. Sometimes it has to come down. We’ll take a look and tell you straight.
My street tree is dying. Is that mine to remove?
Maybe not. Trees in the right-of-way often belong to the village or town. Call them first. If it’s theirs, they handle it.
Can a crew work near the creek or on a steep bank?
Usually, yes. Crews climb the tree and lower it in sections when there’s no safe place to drop it.
