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 .
