How can I request a tree for my property?

If you own your property and would like a tree planted in the space between your sidewalk and the curb of your street (the “planting strip”), please call the Redwood City Department of Public Works (DPW). 

Main Line: 650-780-7464

DPW will inspect the site, taking into consideration factors such as site conditions, proximity of underground utilities and hardscape, and will make a determination if the site is suitable for a street tree. DPW will also choose the species of tree that will be planted. DPW may (or may not) refer this planting opportunity to CityTrees who will incorporate your tree request into a future neighborhood planting day.
