The City of Newark works hard to maintain an urban forest to enhance our environment, unfortunately along with an extensive urban forest there comes some concrete damage.

If you have a tree that is causing extensive concrete damage in front of your home or business, please contact the Maintenance Division at (510) 578-4806.

Maintenance will schedule a review of the site and determine the next steps. Next steps can include grinding the trip hazard, inclusion in the root barrier project or the concrete replacement project and/or tree removal.
