street trees
Sidewalk-lining plants
Street trees are trees planted along roads and sidewalks in urban areas, typically in a strip of soil between the curb and sidewalk or in cutouts in the pavement.
They provide shade, improve air quality, and soften the hard edges of built environments: The city's street trees create a canopy over the older neighborhoods.
Municipal arborists select species that tolerate pollution, compacted soil, and limited root space.
