I recently moved into my home and I do not have a street tree. How do I get one?

In new subdivisions the developer is responsible for the installation of street trees. Landscapers hired by them will plant these trees. The City forester compiles a list in both late summer and the winter months of homes that need street trees and sends this list to the landscape contractor. When the contractor is ready to plant the City forester marks the curb where the tree is to be planted and leaves a doorhanger notifying the homeowner on the tree species, as well as its cultural and care facts.
When are trees planted?

The spring and fall months — April through mid-June and late October to mid-December — are typical times in Ohio for tree planting.
In new subdivisions the developer is responsible for the installation of street trees. A landscape contractor is hired to the plantings. The City Forester compiles two lists a year to send to the contractors – one in late winter and the other in late summer. This list consists of the lot number, address, tree species and how many trees needed. Prior to installation the landscaper contacts the City Forester to mark the areas and put out informational door hangers. These door hangers provide the homeowner with the tree species and cultural facts in maintaining the health of the tree.
The trees are under a year guarantee period at which time the City of Dublin accepts responsibility of any replacements.
As previously mentioned, there are two times when street tree are planted. Spring planting is usually from mid April until the end of May. Fall planting takes place from the end of October to the end of November.
