    Description

    The City of New Carrollton is soliciting proposals from qualified and licensed vendors to provide professional stump grinding, debris removal, and comprehensive turf restoration services throughout the New Carrollton community. This project involves the systematic removal and remediation of approximately 310 tree stumps of varying sizes located at multiple sites throughout the municipality. The objective is to restore the aesthetic quality, safety, and functionality of these sites by ensuring all stumps are ground to an appropriate depth, debris is disposed of in accordance with local regulations, and the affected areas are professionally seeded or sodded to match the surrounding landscape.

    Background

    The City of New Carrollton is committed to maintaining the safety and visual appeal of its public green spaces and residential rights-of-way. Over the past several seasons, various tree management activities have resulted in a backlog of remaining stumps. These remnants pose potential trip hazards, hinder routine lawn maintenance, and detract from the overall character of the community.
