Q   Who maintains the trees?
A   There are three separate areas: Parkway, Conservancy, and Landscape Easement.Parkway The Parkway is the area between the street and the sidewalk. The Village of West Dundee will prune the parkway trees, and will replace a parkway tree if it dies. The homeowners are responsible for watering, fertilizing and removing tape off the trunk of the trees in the parkway as well as pruning the new growth (suckers) at the base of the trunk.Conservancy Easement The tree conservancy easements are located on portions of lots 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 53, 54, 55, 59, 60, 61, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66, 78, 79, 80, 81 and 82. The Association is responsible for all maintenance of the trees and vegetation in the conservancy easements. Homeowners are not allowed to perform any pruning, watering, fertilizing, or other maintenance in these areas.
