Stonebrook trees have been measured for compliance with city ordinances for minimum clearance over roads and sidewalks. Under applicable city ordinances, trees are to be trimmed from ground level to at least 15 feet above public streets, 13 feet above curb, and 8 feet above sidewalks. This notice is to inform you:

Further work is needed to meet the minimum clearance requirements.

If you have trees that need to be trimmed, you can do it yourself or hire a commercial service. Please Note: There are two different approaches to tree trimming:

Trimming for Compliance: This type of trimming only addresses the minimum requirements for clearance over streets and sidewalks. While it ensures compliance with city ordinances, it typically needs to be redone every season as trees grow back quickly.
Trimming for Long-Term Health: A more comprehensive approach to tree care not only meets compliance but also promotes healthy growth for the next 10 years. Proper trimming encourages better tree structure, reduces future maintenance, and supports the long-term health of the tree.

You may schedule Robert’s & Sons by calling (208) 529-5970 or

If you decide to trim your trees yourself or if you hire a service that trims but does not haul branches away, you may cut and tie severed branches into 4-foot bundles to be picked up by the City of Idaho Falls Sanitation Department by calling (208) 612-8491.
