How much does it cost to deal with a car hit my tree?
Answered for Whitestown, Boone County.
The living tissue that moves water up and sugar down is a thin layer immediately under the bark, so a wound that looks like a scrape can still have killed a wide strip of the tree's plumbing. One crash produces two separate questions: whether the tree survives the wound, and whether the impact cracked the stem or loosened the tree in the ground so it may come down. The second question is the one that matters this week; the first plays out over years. In Whitestown — Anson, Walker Farms and The Neighborhoods at Anson included, that's normally a hazardous tree removal job at $800–$5,000. Within days.
Why this comes up in Whitestown
Two providers split the town: Boone Power (formerly Boone REMC) and Duke Energy Indiana — IURC GIS returns Duke at the town center and Boone County REMC on the west side. Boone Power runs a continuous survey program with a staff arborist rather than a fixed rotation, and its contractors clear limbs growing through or above the overhead lines; its published homeowner guidance is to plant large-maturing trees roughly 50 feet away from utility lines and keep 20 feet clear around poles. Which company serves a given address depends on the parcel, so verify before scheduling work near a line.
Whitestown's canopy
Young, planted, and legally curated rather than inherited. Whitestown's UDO Approved Plant List leans heavily on oaks and maples — white, swamp white, bur, shingle, chinkapin, Shumard, northern red and pin oak alongside red, sugar, black and Freeman maple — with sycamore and London planetree for large-scale sites, so most removals here are storm damage, construction conflict and HOA-driven work rather than failing 70-year-old giants. Ash is explicitly off the planting list for emerald ash borer and Callery pear is on the town's own Prohibited Plant List.
Boone County rules
No permit is required to remove a tree on private property in Whitestown, with one big exception that catches residents off guard: if your lot touches a recorded Tree Preservation Easement (T.P.E.) shown on the subdivision plat, the easement controls. Inside a T.P.E. you may remove invasive species, dead and fallen material, vines, and hazardous or at-risk trees and plant natives — but mowing, seeding, sodding, gardens, fire pits, sheds, fences, pools, tree houses and playground equipment are prohibited, all work must follow ANSI Z133.1 and A300 practice, and anyone who damages protected trees must replace them at minimum 3-inch caliper. UDO Chapter 5 governs landscaping for new development, and the Prohibited Plant List — which cannot satisfy any ordinance requirement — includes Callery pear, Norway maple, Amur maple, hedge maple, tree of heaven and Russian olive. Callery pear is a LOCAL Whitestown prohibition, not a state ban: 312 IAC 18-3-25 covers 44 species and Pyrus calleryana is not one of them.
The tree lawn in Whitestown
Street right-of-way is dedicated to the Town of Whitestown on the subdivision plat, but maintenance responsibility is unusually explicit here: in the Anson core-area district the UDO states outright that street trees "shall be maintained by the ownership association." Practically, in most Whitestown subdivisions the HOA — not the individual homeowner and not the town — is responsible for the trees along the street frontage, and HOA approval is usually the real gate on curb-strip work. In that district street trees run one per 40 feet of frontage (30-50 feet on center where utilities interfere), set in 5x5 tree grates with vaults, raised beds, or a road verge at least 5 feet wide.
