Some of our communitys street trees are damaged or dying. Who is responsible for caring for them?
Street trees on private property are the responsibility of the property owner. Even though most street trees are planted on the DelDOT right-of-way, and are DelDOT property, DelDOT has neither the funds nor the manpower to maintain street trees. Care of street trees is, therefore, left to the adjacent property owner, or to the community organization.
