Vegetation Management

We are committed to maintaining landscaped and natural vegetation at parks, buildings, and right-of-ways throughout the Borough. Both the Public Works’ staff and outside contractors perform the maintenance of these vegetated areas. 

Maintenance includes everything from seeding to weeding and pruning to planting; all tasks are prioritized based on serving our citizens in: 

  • Maintaining a safe environment for citizens 
  • Providing recreational use and aesthetic balance 
  • Protecting the city’s investment in landscaping through proactive maintenance
