Request a tree

We welcome suggestions for new street tree locations.

Tree planting

The tree planting season runs from November to March and we will consider requests for new street trees before the planting season starts.

When we consider new street tree sites, we take into account:

Evidence of underground services such as pipes or cables (determined by trial holes)
Locations of existing trees on the highway
Positions of trees in private gardens
Positions of street furniture
Size of the front gardens
The size/species of trees which would best suit the location
Street tree history of the site

All new street trees planted are maintained for the first 12 months, which includes watering as and when necessary.

After this period the new street trees become part of our regular inspection and maintenance programme.

You can support newly planted trees in your street by watering them in their first year.

If you would like to suggest a location for a new street tree, contact us.
