Either evergreen or something thats more what you think of when you think of a street tree so they stated that on their application. In terms of replacement size our bear minimum that we require if someone voluntarily wants to plant a tree is a 15 gallon tree, the next size up, which is a very basic modest increase would be a 24 inch box size tree. Certainly at a minimum i would say approval with a single 24 inch box tree at a bear minimum would be recommended. The next step up is a 36 inch box size tree. Requires a little bit of a small crane or knuckle boom, actually to plant that. Its a hea...

Increase would be a 24 inch box size tree. Certainly at a minimum i would say approval with a single 24 inch box tree at a bear minimum would be recommended. The next step up is a 36 inch box size tree. Requires a little bit of a small crane or knuckle boom, actually, to plant that. Its a heavy amount of soil in a container. That said, if the palms are going to be relocated there could be equipment thats there to take out existing palms, maybe a different contractor is planning the replacement.

Public works website. Were in the process of relinquishing maintenance to Property Owners to try to give the public a sense of what it costs to maintain an average street tree. I believe weve put in 500 every year or two so if you multiply that by four trees that would be 2,000. However, realistically i would currently estimate it would be a few hundred dollars to have someone snip off the lower prawns. What would be the big deal about removing them . The departments policy is typically if a tree is relatively healthy and sustainable to keep the tree in place. The smaller palm is less concerni...

Thank you. Have you looked into the cost of relocation of these trees . Wech. We have. Last time i moved two fully mature palms stored them and moved them back after the project was completed 50,000.

Thank you. Thank...
