Fort Bend County requires subdivision developers to replant any perished landscape reserve trees during the one-year maintenance period before the county accepts the project as complete.
Section 7.3.B and Section 7.4.B of the Fort Bend County Regulations of Subdivisions require that all landscape reserve trees along major thoroughfares be healthy and disease-free at the start of the one-year maintenance period. At the end of that maintenance period, the developer must replace any tree that has perished with a similar tree from the Appendix W approved list, in a condition acceptable to the county. The required planting density is two 30-gallon trees per 100 linear feet of roadway frontage, on each side of the major thoroughfare. The county will not accept the project until replacement is complete.
If trees are missing, dead, or unhealthy at the end of the one-year maintenance inspection, the county refuses final project acceptance until the developer replaces them with a similar approved species in acceptable condition.
