Shade Tree Commission
The Shade Tree Commission requires that landscaping for commercial property be maintained per the approved landscaping plan. This is per Ordinance #753, Included in these requirements is the fact that planting beds must contain mulch of shredded bark or its equivalent at least 3 inches deep. Weeds must be removed. The area is to be kept free of debris. All dead plant material must be replaced per the approved plan, etc. Lawn areas must be reseeded as necessary.
Trees within the borough right-of-way or county right-of-way are the responsibility of the borough as far as trimming is concerned. The borough removes borough trees and the county removes the trees in their right-of-way. Any inquiries regarding any of these trees should be directed to the Shade Tree Commission.
