Share-the-Cost Tree Planting Program
The City is again offering trees for planting in the parkways through its “50/50 Parkway Tree Planting Program.” The City’s tree consultant will plant, mulch and provide a gator bag to assist with watering needs of the tree.
Trees will be planted in late April/May. Each tree delivered is balled and burlaped with average size being 2.5” in diameter. Species may vary upon availability. Call for pricing on larger trees if needed.
Residents who order a tree will receive a letter informing them how to care for their new
tree. Each tree is covered by a one-year warranty. If the tree dies or looks unhealthy please call 630.762.6938.
