Boulevard trees are public property. It is illegal to perform any work to a boulevard tree without a permit. Only licensed tree companies will be issued permits to work on boulevard trees. Anyone wishing to have work performed on a public tree must apply for a permit and the permit must be approved before any work can occur.
