Tree Management in Chembur, Mumbai.

Chembur's old colonies are among the greenest corners of the eastern suburbs, with rain trees, gulmohars and mangoes shading compounds and streets. Rebuilding puts many of them at risk. Nothing is cut or moved without a Tree Authority order, and replacement planting follows. We tag and assess each tree, look for layout changes that spare the oldest, and plan moves and new planting so a rebuilt society keeps as much shade as the design can allow.

Chembur is one of Mumbai's older eastern suburbs, with tree-lined residential colonies, markets and gymkhanas, many of its housing societies dating from the decades after independence. To its east the land runs towards Trombay and Mahul, where fertiliser, refinery and power plants stand near the harbour, and the atomic research centre occupies the hill. The Eastern Freeway and the monorail pass through. Old societies are being rebuilt as towers, and slum rehabilitation projects rise at the edges. It remains a leafy residential district, with heavy industry only a few kilometres away.
