You can ask us to plant a free tree on City owned property in front of your home or business.
Planting is seasonal, and it can take up to 18 months for us to order and plant your requested tree.
When we receive your request, we will visit the property to see which tree species is best suited for the location.
We consider tree height and width, growing space requirements, soil and moisture and distance from overhead wires, driveways, sidewalks or buildings. Learn more about site requirements:
