Winter Tree Pruning
Routine tree pruning is an important component of Highland Park’s tree maintenance program. To maintain a routine trimming rotation, the City is divided into eight districts with each district containing approximately the same number of trees. Each Winter (typically in February & March), parkway trees within one of these regions are trimmed. Trimming is conducted under national Standard Specifications to maintain tree health and to provide necessary clearance for vehicular and pedestrian traffic. Pruning is performed to ANSI A300 Standards.
Trees to be pruned are all situated within the City’s rights-of-way adjacent to streets and other public lands. All work will be done to improve and maintain the health and quality of the trees and to assure the safety and accessibility of streets and sidewalks within Highland Park.
