Tree Canopy Program

Posted on September 3, 2024

The Forestation Board has created a “Tree Canopy Program” that is designed to restore and enhance our tree canopy.  It is a cost sharing program with the city and will only cost a resident $150 to get a beautiful new shade tree planted in their yard!  

The price includes: the tree, a tree guard, professional planting, and mulching.  The trees start at about 10-12 feet tall and need to be planted within 20 feet of the roadway.

If your neighborhood has sidewalks, the distance is then measured from the sidewalk.  In no case may a tree be planted within 10 feet of overhead utility lines or within six feet of an area where a tree was previously planted.

Orders are fulfilled on a first come/first served basis. Once the City has received your order, you will be notified to pick up a marking flag from City Hall to indicate your desired planting location. BUD will be notified by the tree planting contractor to mark your desired area for known utilities.  Tree planting will occur in the Spring.
