News Archive Posted on January 05, 2023

The City of Mount Rainier will be performing street tree maintenance starting on Monday, January 16th, 2023. The tree maintenance is to provide adequate clearance over streets, sidewalks, driveways, and homes, as well as maintain the health and vigor of city trees. This tree maintenance will follow city tree ordinance standards and be completed by Bartlett Tree Experts. 

Trees scheduled to be removed have a posted notice for 10 business days for filing objections prior to the work starting. 

Please try to keep streets that the contractors will be working on clear of any parked vehicles during that week. Also, please do not leave parked vehicles in driveways that are under the city’s tree while the maintenance is being completed. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation in our attempt to be efficient and please contact the Department of Public Works at (301) 985-6583 if you have any questions or concerns, and if you would like to report any concerns regarding our communities’ trees.
