THANK YOU CEMETERY VOLUNTEERS
The City of Apple Valley appreciates the time and energy these
dedicated individuals give each year to Lebanon Cemetery of Apple
Valley. Their efforts help provide an attractive setting for families and
friends visiting the cemetery.
Trimming Boulevard Trees
Late October through March is the preferred time for tree trimming
and pruning, because insects and diseases are dormant. Public
Works maintenance crews are out trimming boulevard trees during
this time to maintain minimum clearance heights along streets and
sidewalks. Residents are notified by mail before trimming begins in
their area. This work frequently requires the use of a bucket truck and
chipper (see above photo) to reach and dispose of dead or broken
limbs. The mulch that results from this work is made available to
residents at the Central Maintenance Facility at no cost.
