A tree lawn, also called a sidewalk buffer, boulevard, berm, verge, nature strip, utility strip, planting strip, parkway, or devil's strip in some areas of the United States, is a small area, often planted with trees and grass, between a street and the sidewalk of that street. Tree lawns are most often found in residential areas.
