Cooperative Tree Planting Program

Planting the right trees in the right locations along city streets provides environmental benefits and improves the livability of our city. To encourage this, the city has established a  "Cooperative Tree Planting Program".  Citizens or businesses may  have a tree planted on the public right-of-way adjacent to their property for 50% of the estimated cost to the city. The city's contribution will come from the city's Tree Fund . The trees will be planted, maintained and guaranteed for one year by the city's landscape contractor. The Forestry Division works with the purchaser to determine the specific location within the city's street tree ordinance guidelines.

Street trees are planted every Spring and Fall. Quantities are limited, so interested property owners should order early.  Spring trees need to be ordered by the first week of March,  Fall trees by the first week of September.

All trees are 2-inch minimum caliper and approximately 8'-10' feet tall. Selected varieties of the following species are available: Maple, Oak, Honeylocust, Coffeetree, Linden,  Baldcypress, Beech, Blackgum, Ginkgo, and Hybrid Elm. Other species are sometimes available - please call if you are interested.

The cost varies from season to season, so please call or check the order form below for current prices.  Checks should be made out to the City of Rochester Hills and mailed to the Forestry Division with the order form.

For additional information, please call the Parks & Forestry Office at 248-656-4673.
