Request a Free Street Tree

Check your eligibility

You must:

• be a City of Orlando resident homeowner.
• understand there is a three to four month processing period before the tree is planted.

Your desired tree location must be:

• within the right-of-way and/or
• within the private part of your front yard that is 20 feet or less from the end of the right-of-way.

Choose your tree type

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.
• Understory trees are best if you have overhead power lines or a narrow parkway, as they grow shorter than canopy trees.

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