Request Street Trees for Your Neighborhood

Step 1.Check your eligibility

You neighborhood must be within City of Orlando limits.

Check City Limits

Step 2.Understand the requirements and responsibility

• Understand the next tree(s) will be planted on Fall and Winter of 2020.
• Your tree locations must be:

• within the right-of-way; and/or
• within the private part of a property's front yard (or side yard corner lot) that is 20 feet or less from the end of the right-of-way.

• A new tree will take at least 18 months to fully establish and will require the commitment from neighborhood participants for constant watering.
• Depending on the location, a dedicated bubbler may be required to be installed by the neighborhood.
• If a tree dies, we will only replace it once after it is inspected. However, if a tree dies due to lack of proper watering or care, it will not be replaced.

Step 3.Gather participants' contact information

Before you submit a group tree request, be sure to talk to all your neighbors who are interested in participating. Gather each participant's name, email address, phone number and home address.

Although the trees are almost always planted in the right-of-way, we will still want to confirm their commitment and the tree placement with each property owner.

Step 4.Choose your tree types

We offer various species of canopy and understory trees. Please note that due to supply and/or seasonality, some species may not always be available.

• Canopy trees can be planted if the right-of-way is at least 6-feet-wide. These trees will grow taller and wider.
• Understory trees are best if you have overhead power lines or a narrow parkway, as they grow shorter than canopy trees.
• If your preferred tree type cannot be planted, we will suggest another option based on your location.

Limitations apply depending on the spacing needs of each tree type.

See Tree Types

Step 5.Submit your request

Be prepared to provide your preferred tree types and the contact information for each participant in your neighborhood.

We also encourage uploading any supporting documents from your HOA or neighborhood association that show information about each property owner participating at this time.

Submit Request

Please note:

• This is a very popular program, therefore, requests are handled in the order of when a request is made.
• Your request submission will stay in queue until Fall/Winter 2020, when trees are planted again.
• During this Fall (around October 2020), we will email you back to begin processing your request.

Step 6.Confirm your request

During the following Fall (around October 2020), we will email you to confirm your desired tree locations in your neighborhood and to coordinate a site inspection. You must reply to us before we send an inspector to the area.

Step 7.We will contact each participant in your neighborhood

Based on the contact information you provided, we will contact each participant to confirm their commitment and desired location of their tree.

Step 8.Get the sites inspected

We will inspect the site areas and will email you with the results. Based on the results, we may recommend a new location for certain trees or a different type of tree.

Step 9.Plant the tree

After the approval of the final locations, we will plant the trees within 45 days.

Step 10.Water and care for your new tree

It is important to properly care for your new trees to make sure it grows to be healthy and mature. Once the tree is planted, it is the residents' and neighborhood's responsibility to maintain their growth with lots of water and fertilizer.

Please read our Tree Care Instructions below to understand how to properly care for your new trees.
