General Information
The City of St. Charles Streets Division maintains all trees in the right of way or the area commonly known as “the parkway.” The parkway is the area between the sidewalk or lot line and the curb.
The City has every right-of way tree inventoried by size, location and species. The City inspects, monitors, trims and fertilizes as needed. The City also has a pest management program if appropriate and approves removals when necessary.
Per City Code 12.20.060 only city crews or crews contracted by the City may perform these tasks. For more information, please visit the Public Trees page of the City website.
