Residential Street Tree Pruning Update for November
Neighborhoods scheduled for November are Lakes of Austin Park, Lake Colony, Heritage Colony, Oyster Creek Plantation, Plantation Trails, and Plantation Park. For more information on the program, visit our website at www. firstcolony. org.
The pruning will consist of raising the canopy of street trees to provide clearance that meets city requirements. Limbs that are removed will be chipped and hauled away from the property on the same day the pruning takes place. Street trees are those located in the area between the sidewalk and the street; yard trees are not included in this service. As the trees are a living organism and are constantly growing, additional pruning may need to be done between visits. This is the responsibility of the homeowner as well as any damaged limbs that may need to be removed.
If you wish to continue to maintain your own street trees, you may do so by using the form located on our website to notify FCCSA no later than two weeks prior to the beginning of the month of your neighborhood’ s scheduled pruning. If you opt out of the program and later choose to join, your street trees will not be pruned until the next scheduled pruning of your neighborhood. You will need to inform FCCSA in writing if you choose to opt back into the program. Also, if you choose to maintain your own street trees and receive a violation notice from the City or from FCCSA, you will be responsible for bringing your trees into compliance and for any fines incurred for failure to do so.
