DPS cut down my tree a year or two ago, can I get a new one planted now? I see this happening in the construction zones.

The construction tree replacement program is a relatively new process. We plan for construction replacements by requesting an extra deep stump grinding during removal, which is a considerable expense. Normal tree removals leave the stump roughly three inches below the grass, which is insufficient to plant a new tree. A waiting period of 3-5 years will be necessary to allow the stump to adequately decompose.
