The Public’s Works Department has been in a race against the weather to prune and maintain as many trees within the Town’s Right of Ways and complexes as storms begin to hit the valley. Each year, the Public Works staff heavily prunes trees at least twice a year. This year the department focused on identifying trees that were too heavy to withstand the high winds of the monsoon storms. Crews have been out for the last few weeks thinning out trees that appeared to be too heavy to help preserve and maintain a healthy tree population throughout the Town.
It is recommended to seek the services of tree care professionals or a certified Arborist to help maintain trees within your property. These trained individuals will provide expert knowledge with tree care depending on the species of tree you are working with or planning to plant within your property.
Some tips to maintain a healthy tree:
- Consult with a certified arborist for any maintenance needs
- Ensure proper water schedules are established throughout the year
- Monitor for diseases, dead branches, and insect problems
- Thin as needed prior to storm season to withstand high winds
The public’s help in identifying trees in need of attention within Town Right of Way is always welcomed. Please contact the Public Works Department with any concerns or questions regarding The Town’s tree program at 480-348-3527.
