Tree Service Contractors

Licensed Tree Care

Anyone performing tree care services including pruning and removal, must meet requirements set by City code and be licensed through the City. The licensing program and requirements were established to provide residents with options for professional tree care services, and to protect the trees within the urban forest from substandard practices.
