2025 FREE SPRING/FALL TREE PLANTING PROGRAM
This program is free for the residents who would like a new tree planted on the street right of way. DPW will investigate and determine an appropriate location in the public right of way for the new tree. Underground utilities, existing tree roots, greenbelt size and diversity of trees in the area will dictate placement and type of tree to be planted.
Trees are expected to be planted in late November or early December, after the tree has gone dormant.
WHY PLANT A TREE?
There are so many reasons to plant a tree we could not possibly list all of them here. The appeal of Berkley's neighborhoods in the real estate market is partly due to our tree-lined streets, and therefore adds to the resale value of your homes. Correctly planted trees can make your home substantially more comfortable, even without air conditioning. In addition, trees and shrubs trap rainwater allowing it to soak into the soil. On average, one street tree can keep more than 1000 gallons of rainwater from entering the sewer system each year.

This is a first come first serve program. Those who do not make it in time will be put on a waitlist for the following year.
**Delivery and planting of trees usually occurs in late November/early December depending on weather. Trees transplant better if they are in a dormant state**
DPW is accepting orders on a year round basis. You will be contacted with further information regarding when you will be receiving a tree.
