Re: [Chat] Trees and tree pits
It is usually the property owner's responsibility to maintain the tree wells and the sidewalk. From what I recall, homeowners seeking trees from the City of Baltimore or Tree Baltimore usually sign an agreement to care for the tree before one will be planted.

Re: [Chat] Trees and tree pits
It's definitely the property owner/resident adjacent who is responsible for maintenance of sidewalk, tree lawn, gutter cleaning, and alley. That responsibility includes paying for new concrete when the city deems it necessary, mowing grass, weeding, picking up trash, clearing snow and ice from public sidewalk, etc. Linda On Thu, Jul 30, 2015 at 9:11 AM, John jfs...@hotmail.com wrote: It is usually the property owner's responsibility to maintain the tree wells and the sidewalk.
