About the Program

  • Trees will be planted in the easement which is the grassy area in front of your home between the sidewalk and the street. Trees planted in the easement are maintained by the City of Royal Oak's Public Service Department. Only one tree will be provided per property. 
  • After submitting your tree request, a City Arborist will review the planting site. Your request may be rejected if space is insufficient or if wires hang above your easement.
  • MISSDIG will then be contacted to mark underground utilities at approved planting locations. Please do not remove the flags until planting is complete. 
  • Planting will occur mid April.
  • Any existing stumps will be removed prior to planting. 
  • If you have any questions, please call (248) 246-3300.
