Maintenance Plan The contractor, Coviello Brothers, planted the 31 trees. Each newly planted tree comes with a one-year guarantee and automatic replacement. The contractor will provide mulch bases for the newly planted trees in the first year, when the trees are planted. Maintenance will be performed by the Chatham Borough Department of Public Works and will include – watering, removal of tree stakes and guy wires, and pruning as needed. Each year, for the first three years, new trees are inspected for damage and disease. Pruning will be implemented as need and trees will be trimmed/pruned in the third year to ensure that they are growing properly. Newly planted tree watering is based on several factors. The Borough encourages the adjacent property owner to the newly planted Borough Right-of-Way tree to adopt the tree and shepherd the tree’s watering program. The DPW will assist in watering when the homeowners are unable. Additionally, the DPW monitors the local weather circumstances; during drought frequent watering is implemented. 2012 Budget Item Trees
