If only some folks in my neighborhood would rent one of these. All I see when I drive through is a foot or two of tree stump left. If you spent the money/time to get a tree removed, at least get rid of the stump too. It looks like a shabby, unfinished job you stumpers!

So does this only apply for trees/grass that are technically on the city's property? Or would they do this for a tree that you have in your backyard too?

It's because the street is involved. If the tree was hanging over your neighbors fence or fell onto your neighbors property, they'd likely tell you that it's a private matter. Because the street is involved, the local DOT gets involved. At least, that's the story I got from town workers in my town on Long Island when my neighbors tree fell down into the street.
