Special Tree Replacement Program

If you’ve successfully applied for a Special Tree Removal Permit you can replace it through our Special Tree Replacement Program. Accentuate your property with a beautiful shade tree at no cost, and there is no limit to the number of trees that can be planted. To register, submit an application and we’ll do all we can to get your tree planted in the spring or fall.

How it Works

1. Submit an online request

2. Have a home consultation with Casey Trees: Homeowners determined to be eligible for and are interested in shade trees will then be contacted by Casey Trees to arrange a second home consult to select tree species and placement. Trees available through the Special Tree Replacement Program are listed below.

3. Schedule your planting date: Once tree species and locations are selected, a planting date will be scheduled for the spring or fall. You do not need to be present for the planting.


Trees

You can choose from 20 trees specifically selected for their environmental benefits. In advance of your home consult, review these trees to get an idea of what tree(s) might be the most suited for your yard. But rest assured, that we will help you choose the right tree for the right location.
