Street Trees
The street trees within Weatherstone are a hallmark of our community. However, over the course of the last few years, many street trees have been removed from in front of single-family homes throughout the community. Homeowners have expressed various reasons for tree removal, ranging from safety concerns to the tree being diseased and distressed.
Many homeowners have expressed a desire to replace the trees that have been removed and have looked to the Board for guidance on which species of tree to choose as a replacement. To facilitate that, the Board contracted with Bartlett Tree Experts to determine viable replacements for the trees which have been removed (or have yet to be removed).
To avoid a hodge-podge of trees being planted on each street, the Board has prepared two documents which indicate which replacement tree is being recommended for specified areas throughout the community. One document is a summary level document covering multiple residences on a street. The second document is a more detailed inventory by house number and contains more specific recommendations for homeowners who request this information for their own property.

One additional note about street trees... There are many places in the community where the branches are hanging too low to walk on the sidewalk without bending over. The Board wishes to remind residents that our community Rules and Regulations under the heading of GENERAL USE RESTRICTIONS specify the following:
9. Except in the Townhouse Section, each Owner is responsible at Owner’s sole expense for care and maintenance of any grounds, sidewalk, and trees between the road curb and the Owner’s lot line. All trees and shrubs are to be maintained to present a neat appearance and for unobstructed access to sidewalks and pathways. Trees bordering street sidewalks are to be kept trimmed to allow a minimum of 7 feet of clearance.
