[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are you familiar with DC's regulations about treebox planting? I'm guessing no, since you mention evergreen shrubs as an option (not allowed; nor are the rocks the prior owner put down). Bascially, there are restictions about where in the treebox you can plant, and what you can plant, and lots of things you can't do. The toughest part is that no plant can grow taller than 18 inches, but you also can't use plants that spread by runners, so no ground covers. Take a look at: DCMR 24-109 and DC Public Realm Design Manual (v. 2.1, March 2019) [https://planning.dc.gov/sites/default/files/dc/sites/op/publication/attachments/DDOT Public Realm Design Manual.pdf ] [/quote] I took a look at the regulations, and I also took a look at the state of enforcement on my block and throughout DC (non-existent). I am mindful of not blocking car and pedestrian access, but a couple small shrubs will not do that. If DC tells me to remove them, so be it.[/quote]
