Prune request.

Received a phone call from a constituent stating that a tree in front of his residence seems to be knocked off center by a truck. It is currently leaning over the sidewalk and requires a tree inspection to determine if it should be pruned or removed.

Inspection request.

Constituent stated that young tree located right after you take a right off of Lovell onto Locke St. has low hanging branches that in bloom during the spring cause an obstruction of view when turning onto Locke from Lovell. Requesting that the lower branches be removed or pruned to avoid this occurring come spring time.

Prune request.

there are a number of dead branches at the top of the tree that frequently get broken off and fall to the street. The trash truck hits the branches when doing pickups , and some branches are getting very close to the house

This tree was planted a few years ago by the town. I co-own 60-62 Phillips Street, but currently live in Gloucester. I was at the Phillips Street house this past week and noticed that the tree is growing towards the street, instead of straight upwards.

Inspection Request

I would like to improve the visual appearance of the tree wells at 118 Marshall Street by adding some stone/brick around the trees, but I would like to make sure this is OK and will not hurt the trees. Is this OK?
