Tree Removal

Street trees experience a life cycle and will eventually need to be replaced as they age and die. However, there are instances where they need to be removed ahead of their standard lifespan. They may have contracted a serious disease that can spread to surrounding healthy trees, they may be impacting underground infrastructure, or they may pose an imminent danger to the public.

If a street tree is experiencing disease, is dead, or poses a threat to the health and safety of the public, the City’s Tree Warden will assess the tree. Solutions that restore the health and safety of the tree will be the first line of action, including pruning, crown management, or application of a fungicide or other pesticide. Should those solutions fail, or should they not be acceptable, the tree will be removed.

Healthy Trees

Healthy street trees generally remain in place with few exceptions.
