Salt Lake winters bring snow, inversions and plenty of freeze-thaw, and driveways and walks see a lot of de-icing salt.
Trees in the park strip between the sidewalk and the street are city-owned in Salt Lake City. Pruning or removing one by a private company needs a permit from SLC Urban Forestry first, (801) 972-7818.
The city treats removal of a healthy park strip tree as a last resort, and sidewalk damage alone isn't accepted as a reason. Trees on your own property are yours to manage.
Common questions
Who handles branches on power lines?
Lines from the pole to the house can be the homeowner's responsibility. Main lines are the utility's. Either way, only a qualified crew should work near them.
How far back should branches be?
Several feet from the roof is a common target, with more clearance for fast-growing species.
Is stump grinding included in removal?
Not always. Ask whether the quote includes grinding and hauling away the wood.
