Street Tree Maintenance Guidelines

If you have a street tree next to your property, it's your responsibility to keep it healthy and ensure it doesn't block sidewalks.

How to Maintain Street Trees:

  1. Watering and Weeding: Regularly water and weed around the tree to keep it healthy.
  2. Pruning: As the tree grows, you need to prune it for safety:
    • At least 8 feet above sidewalks.
    • At least 13 feet above local streets.
    • At least 15 feet above collector streets.
    • At least 18 feet above arterial streets.
  3. Replacement: If a tree needs to be replaced, make sure to plant a new one.

By following these guidelines, you help keep our streets safe and beautiful!
