1. Can I cut down a tree in my yard?

It is illegal to trim or remove trees in town without a permit. Several years ago, the Town implemented a Tree Ordinance to protect Davidson's green canopy.

If your landscaping plans include tree trimming or removal, make sure you comply with the ordinance and avoid a fine. Permits are available online.
