Plant a tree in front of your property and help the Hoboken Shade Tree Commission reach our goal of 4,000 healthy street trees in 2020. If you are a Hoboken property owner or a property manager, you can have a tree planted by completing this online application and consent form.

A suggested donation of $100.00 and your pledge to care for and water your tree will place your application on our first-come, first-serve tree planting list. This list is subject to available budget and not every applicant is guaranteed a tree.

Eligibility & Conditions:

Must be a home owner or property manager of the property adjacent to the proposed tree planting location.

Only sidewalk locations will be considered. Private property such as backyards will not be considered.

Requests can be made for existing empty tree pits as well as paved sidewalk locations.

Tree donation — we will plant a tree for you for a donation of $100.00.

Tree stump — if there is a tree stump in the existing tree pit, you will be responsible for stump removal prior to planting.

No tree pit — we will open a pit for you for an additional donation of $50.00.

Undersized tree pit — we will enlarge undersized tree pits for an additional donation of $50.00.

Each location is inspected by a Hoboken Shade Tree Commissioner. If your site is suitable for planting, you will be contacted and provided payment instructions.

Trees are planted in the spring/summer (March 1 to June 31) and autumn/winter (October 1 to December 31). Tree species is determined by the Hoboken Shade Tree Commission and is subject to available nursery stock, cost and site conditions.
