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?
