The Street Tree Program was developed to provide the framework for planting and maintaining street trees between the curbs and sidewalks. These trees provide an important separation between the pedestrian areas and the street and help to frame the houses. The developer plants the street trees at the appropriate time and the builder is responsible for the care, maintenance, and replacement, if necessary, of street trees on a lot during construction. After the home closing, the homeowner assumes responsibility for the care, maintenance, and replacement, if necessary, of street trees on their lot.
