City's Tree Planting Programs
Public Works has a variety of programs available for residents interested in adding trees to public spaces around their buildings and homes.
Replace Existing Trees
You can request a replacement tree if one was removed from an existing well in front of your property, at no expense to you.
Back of Sidewalk Program
If there is no space for a tree well on your sidewalk, you can request a tree be planted on your private property.
Request a New Tree Planting
If there is no tree well at your property and you would like a tree planted, you may be able to have a well installed for $140.00.
Commemorative Tree Program
Have a tree planted to honor a person, significant life event, or other idea. The cost for this tree is $200.00.
Call the Urban Forestry Division at 617.349.4885 or email cambridgetree@cambridgema.gov. to request detailed information regarding any of the tree planting programs.
