Street Tree Planting

The city conducts tree planting using city funds and funding from state and federal grants when available. The planting of street trees may be performed by Street Department crews or private contractors hired by the city. Anyone wishing to plant or request the city plant a street tree in front of their home should contact Urban Forester John Easley for approval of the species and location. Many factors must be taken into consideration when planting trees in the right-of-way. Not only must obstructions above the ground be considered, but also infrastructure below ground and line of sight issues for motorized traffic and pedestrians.
