100-year anniversary tree mosaic. When you plant a tree, we’d like your help documenting our campaign by creating a 100-year anniversary tree mosaic. When you plant a tree, please send Jackie Snelling a picture that we can use to document your addition for our total count and to include in a mosaic of all the trees we have planted.

​

County provided free Trees for Private Property: This is an annual program that has both Spring and Fall pick up times. You order, and then pick up and plant the trees when they are available. The application period is generally in September. In addition to canopy trees, this tree selection now includes popular understory trees and flowering trees such as Crepe Myrtle and Dogwood. These are first come, first served based on availability.

​

Street Trees and trees for public spaces: This is an annual program. Ordering is always open, but County planting follows a spring and fall schedule. Generally, orders for spring planting are by the end of September and for fall by the end of June. The County provides and plants the trees for public spaces including “street trees” for right of way between curb and sidewalk and trees for other public spaces such as parks and medians. The County website provides a link where residents can request street trees for both fall and spring planting periods. https://www.arlingtonva.us/Government/Topics/Report-Problem
