Street and General Maintenance Department

Beautification Division

City Horticulturist, Beth Carson bcarson@ci.salem.va.us

This Division improves the quality of life, encourages economic vitality, and instills civic pride in the City of Salem through visual and environmental improvement of city owned properties and rights-of-way.

We maintain and improve existing landscape plantings around public buildings, in the parks, and along roadways. We also manage the city’s urban forest by providing services such as maintenance pruning, hazard removal, replacement planting, new tree installation, fertilization, and pest control.
