Canopy Program

The Neighborhood Canopy Program is an incentive to encourage homeowners to plant and maintain canopy trees.  City residents interested in receiving a larger tree are invited to participate in the Neighborhood Canopy Program. This program provides professional installation of 2-inch caliper trees between the front plane of a resident’s home and the street. Participants will pay $100 for the tree, with the City covering the remainder of the cost up to $500 for the selected tree, funded by the City’s Tree Mitigation Fund.  For fall 2025, Neighborhood Canopy Program participants can choose from 10 species: 

  • magnolia
  • shady lady
  • Southern red cedar
  • Japanese blueberry
  • winged elm
  • live oak
  • green buttonwood
  • royal poinciana
  • ligustrum
  • sycamore

Interested residents can register for the Neighborhood Canopy Program. Registration closes August 22, and planting is scheduled for the first two weeks of September.
