The stumping timeline is highly subjected to delays relating to weather, difficulty of the stump grind, mechanical problems and mandatory utility locates. The Stumping Program is also subject to speeds ups resulting from ease of stumping and contractor efficiency, as such the proposed timelines could change.
The City’s contractor will be working diligently toward removing stumps within the municipal road allowance to make way for more tree plantings across the City. The stumping process involves grinding the stump, removing the stump grindings and replacing with soil. The newly placed soil is tamped, and grass seed is placed and watered.
The City’s stumping contractor is responsible to organize the work in the most efficient and safe route available to them at the time. Coordination involves obtaining and organizing locates as required by law, working around site restrictions, poor weather, etc. Due to the variables involved in the planning process the City does not know the exact day the contractor will attend your address. Refer to the chart and map below for an approximate timeframe for tree planting throughout the City.
If the tree in front of your home or business was removed prior to December of 2020, it will be removed this year. Please refer to the map below that indicates areas and the approximate timeframe the City’s stumping contractor will be completing work.
