Check City Limits

Understand the requirements and responsibility

• Request are open year-round, but trees will only be planted during Fall and Winter months.
• 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.

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 tree placement with each of them.

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.
