We maintain trees within the City right-of-way (i.e. the layout of a City street), in City parks, cemeteries, public building grounds, and other City properties. Trees along certain state highways within the City are maintained by the Metropolitan District Commission (a state agency); Memorial Drive, for example. Trees along certain private ways within the City may be the responsibility of the abutters. If you are not sure whether or not a tree that needs attention is a City tree, please contact us. We do not perform tree work on private property, so for that, you will need to hire an arborist. We may be able to suggest a few companies to contact, without endorsing anyone in particular.
