Inspection request.

The city planted a tree in front of my house about 2 years ago, but it appears dead with no leaves or signs of life since then. What can be done about this?

Thank you!

Prune request.

Received a call from a constituent stating that the trees lining Arsenal St. in front of 201 - 243 Arsenal St. are all overgrown and needing pruning. Can you please inspect these trees?

Hello! Some of the trees in Howe Park (inside the dog park) have dead branches, some of which are very large. Some small branches have fallen in the past few weeks. Can someone please come by to assess? The tree against the fence along Pleasant St., in the middle, has a very large dead branch. If that falls, someone (or even worse, a dog!) could get seriously injured. It's a very dangerous situation, so please have it assessed as soon as possible. Thanks in advance!

1) Tupelo on edge cliff/Templeton -tree doing very poorly

2) Bald cypress on Edgecliff near Woodleigh Road, also may need care

Inspect

Tree in front of 124 Watertown with branches extensively tangled with power lines. Request for public works to trim branches off the power lines and prune tree.

Dead half of tree over sidewalk and driveway. Large branches could break off. The rest of the tree has "serious root and disease problems" but is strong overall, according to an arborist who had a look this morning.

2 trees directly in front of residence need to be inspected. One tree has no leaves and branches are falling off

The tree in front of 174 spruce st in watertown is an issue. Branches and twigs are randomly falling from the tree. This is causing a safety issue for people walking on the sidewalk. It needs to be looked at.
