Individual Street Tree Planting Opportunities
Residents who wish to only plant street trees at their own properties have the following two options from the City Forestry Division:
Match Cost Planting
You agree to pay half the cost of planting a tree, the City of Providence pays the other half and provides sidewalk preparation, soil replacement, tree(s), and planting.
Your cost is $200.00 per tree. The Tree Resource Manager or City Forester will select and site your tree.
Full Cost Planting
You agree to pay the full cost of planting a city street tree. You must apply for a free permit to plant before you make any preparations. Upon receipt of your application, The Tree Resource Manager or City Forester will have your sidewalks marked for underground utilities, show you where to plant, send you a permit and a list of street tree species, size and planting requirements.
