Street Tree Planting

The City of Toronto owns a portion of land between roadways and private property, known as the public road allowance.

A property owner can submit a tree planting request for the City-owned road allowance in front of their home or business.

Request a City Tree Planting or call 311

The City’s Urban Forestry staff will visit the site to confirm the right tree species and determine the ideal planting location. Tree planting takes place in spring or fall.

Species available for planting on the City’s road allowance are listed in the Street Tree Brochure.
