When does City of FW Require Planting Trees (and when they don't)?

02 June 2023 - 09:54 PM

I've noticed many new houses built in older/existing neighborhoods where the builder (and/or owner) does not plant a single tree in the front of the house.

 

Doesn't the City of Fort Worth require tree planting for new single-family houses and two-family residential buildings?

 

I've also noticed that when home builders build a house on a new lot in a brand new neighborhood, it appears they ARE required to plant at least one tree in the front yard. 

Side note: they rarely plant a tree between the sidewalk and street which I think is a mistake.

 

SURELY the City has considered requiring newly built houses to have to plant (or keep) at least one tree... right?

 

Is there a reason why the City cannot require this? 

Is there a reason why the City would have decided not to require this?
