Community of Trees
Charlotte has been called one of the 10 best cities for urban forests. Trees curtail energy costs, create better air and water quality, keep soil from eroding, reduce incidents of violence and property crime, and they just plain look good all of which leads to increases in property value. It's important that we maintain the look and heath of our "urban forest" here in Monteith Park.
Our "forest" contains Red Maples, Willow Oaks, Crape Myrtles, Chinese Elms, Flowering Cherries and total about 1600 trees. Of these, about 600 are in the common area maintained by the HOA, and about 1000 are on homeowner property growing between the sidewalk and the street which are a homeowner responsibility.
Town of Huntersville information on Street trees and landscaping also includes a list of approved street trees.

Town of Huntersville leaf pick up: During heavy leaf season generating months (October 26-February 1), Waste Connections will collect up to 10 bags of leaves per week at each residence. Up to 5 bags will be collected during months not designated as part of heavy leaf season. Bags must be clear or transparent and no larger than 25 gallon. Opaque bags may be used as long as they are left open. Kraft yard waste bags are also permitted and may be available for pickup at the North Mecklenburg Recycling center.
Street trees: When trees located between the sidewalk and the street die, it needs to be replaced per Town of Huntersville, Article 7: LANDSCAPING & OPEN SPACE by the homeowner. Most of those replacements will be red maples, but you should check with the Town of Huntersville before making your tree selection. Per the Town, all replacement trees need to be a caliper size of 2-2.5 inches. Over the years, trees have died and not been replaced. Going forward, if a tree dies, the HOA will notify the homeowner of the need to replace the tree.
