Tree Servicing in Town Center

By

The trees among Town Center‘s sidewalks have caused buckling and deterioration of our sidewalks.

Here is our plan to fix the issue:

  1. Remove current trees, beginning October 9th.
  2. Repair the damaged sections of the sidewalk.
  3. Replace trees with frontier elm tree, which have a less invasive root system.

For more information, please contact our city manager, Cesar Correa at citymanager@locustnc.com or call City Hall at 704-888-5260.
