So after carefully monitoring the pilot program during the trial period, The Historic Board, Trees or Georgetown, Casey Trees, DDOT & UFA today approved Flexi-Pave for widespread use throughout Georgetown. Be looking for more tree surrounds to be paved this spring and summer. Read more about it in this article from the Georgetown Dish.
