You can choose the location of your choice anywhere in your front yard
-Prior to planting, the town will provide a utility mark-out of your property so you can ensure your planting location doesn't have an issue with water or gas lines
-A member of the Shade Tree Commission will visit your address and determine the proper tree for your location based on several factors including; Presence of planting strip, wires overhead/no wires overhead etc
-Locations with wires overhead will receive Ornamental Trees (flowering trees that don’t reach a height over 25 feet)
-Locations without overhead wires will receive a Shade Tree that will eventually reach a height of 40-50 feet. Resident’s only responsibility would be to help the young tree with watering if needed
-Planting would occur in the fall
-Trees will be planted on a first come first serve basis
-The number of trees planted each fall will depend upon funds available to the Shade Tree Commission at that time
-When we get closer to the planting date the STC will email and inform you of the approximate planting date. The STC will also order a utility mark out (no-charge)
-If at anytime you decide you would not like a tree, just let the STC know
-Trees will be 2.5” Caliper at time of planting (Shade Trees 10-12 Feet, Ornamental 8-10 Feet)
-Tree Species will be selected by STC. Only deep-rooted trees will be utilized to avoid sidewalk damage
