Prune request.

Dead limb about to crash on two cars parked below it. It will total the car. This was reported to Cambridge, because the street is in Cambridge, they said this belongs to Watertown.

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!

Large overgrown town tree is growing over our house. Tree health inspection needed. Tree needs several large, long branches trimmed back so tree limb does not fall on house. Tree roots overgrown and lifting sidewalk slabs. See submitted request# 17230093 for trip/fall hazard. Tree needs branches trimmed well back and sidewalk repaired.

I’m writing in regards to a Town tree , across from my house , the tree is infront of 24 / 26 Walcott Rd . It’s at least 3 stories high and has been loosing limbs for the last 5 years . I’ve called before when branches have snapped and fallen without reason , without inclement weather. It’s dropping leaves now and has been since mid July . There are branches that are dead . My concern is this tree is going to topple just like the one next to it at 22 Walcott did a few years back , taking not only our power lines but damaged the house next to me , ripping the meters right off the house , and damaging a neighbors car .
All that said, I’m requesting that your office inspect this tree as soon as possible. Thank You , Dotty Jacoppo 21 Walcott Rd .

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.

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?
