Any trees and shrubs which overhang any part of a public street beyond the curb shall have their canopy raised to a minimum height of 13 feet 6 inches to provide clearance for fire and sanitation trucks. Anyone doing the trimming other than the resident is responsible for hauling off all cuttings.
*Pursuant to City of Terrell Hills Code of Ordinances Chapter 11 Real Property Sec. 11-1 & 11-5.
Alleys Maintenance
Alleys which are not properly trimmed, cut or cleaned are defined as a nuisance and are in violation of Terrell Hills Code of Ordinances Sec. 11-5, Care of Real Estate. Under the ordinances, each property owner has the responsibility for trimming and cleaning to the center of adjacent alleys. This is something that should be done on a regular schedule.
Please make sure that there is not any standing water, overgrowth of weeds, tall grass, building materials and that all limbs are cut back to the property line.
The canopy over the alley should be trimmed to a minimum height of 13 feet 6 inches for clearance of any large vehicles, sanitation and utility trucks.
Brush trimmings are to be placed at the front curb only and anyone other than the resident doing the trimming is responsible for hauling off all cuttings.
Keeping the alleys clean will help prevent injuries or time delays for sanitation and utility workers, it will also help prevent breeding grounds for mosquitos, wasps, rodents or snakes.
Brush Collection
Brush pick-up services are very important to the residents of Terrell Hills which is why it is our goal to provide service once a week for every residence. We ask each of our residents to please keep the following in mind as you place brush out for pick-up:THERE IS NO EXACT SET DAY FOR BRUSH PICK-UP.
Brush Crews start picking up brush on the south side of the city on Monday morning. The Brush Crew then works their way north through the city with the goal of visiting every residence, during the week. Depending of the volume of brush and time of year, the day that the Brush Crew visits your residence MAY change.
- Please place any brush or trimmings that you do yourself along the front curb line.
- The removal of a large volume of brush and trimmings exceeding 250 cubic feet in volume shall be the responsibility of the owner.
- Make sure trimmings do not exceed 6 feet in length or 3 inches in diameter with all lateral branches trimmed.
- All tree trimming companies and lawn service providers are responsible for hauling off all of their cuttings.
- Brush will not be picked up from any alley.
- Seasonal changes or severe weather may cause excess brush/leaves, so collection during those times may take slightly longer.
- Leaves and brush go to separate landfills and are picked up at different times. Please place each in separate piles.
- Cactus, agave and palm trunks go to the garbage landfill and fall under Trash Pickup guidelines.
