Homer Tree Care is currently trimming trees in the City. The purpose of this tree trimming operation shall be:
- To remove all dead, dying, diseased, interfering, objectionable, and weak branches.
- To remove under branches to permit clearance of approximately sixteen (16) feet, where practical to allow passage of second class motor vehicles on the street side of the tree and approximately twelve (12) feet on the parkway side of the tree.
- To remove under branches around all street signs and/or streetlights, 8 feet around and above such objects.
- To remove all interior interfering branches, and one of all crossed or rubbing branches were practicable so the removal thereof will not leave large holes in the general form of the tree.
- To remove one branch of all structurally week "V" crotches occurring along the main trunk or developing within the tree crown, particularly in smaller trees. Special attention shall be given to the effect removal of such branches will have on the ultimate life of the tree.
- To remove trunk suckers and water sprouts especially where they are present below the bottom one half (1/2) of the tree.
- To improve the appearance of the tree trimmed.
