Street Trees Program

Body
Street Trees with a blue sky

Do you live on the Westside and have space for a street tree in the parkway in front of your home or building? If you’re willing to help care for young trees by watering them as they get established, we’d love to partner with you! 

Residents with grass or open soil between the sidewalk and street may qualify to receive free street trees planted by the City. Sign up to be a Tree Steward below and we’ll plant a street tree in the parkway in front of your home!

How it Works

1
Sign Up

Verify that you live in the area accepting applications and submit an application.

2
We Take Care of Planting

If you qualify and there is space for a tree, we will send out our team to plant a tree in your parkway. We follow the City's Street Tree Designation List to determine what species works best on your street. 

3
You Care for the Tree

Once your tree is planted, it will need water for the first two years while its roots grow into the ground. As a Tree Steward, you will receive two Tree Care Stipends over the next two years. 

Taking care of the tree now makes a big difference for its future! 

For further information please refer to the full Street Trees Program Guidelines and Terms & Conditions.
