In addition, 878 park trees are maintained. Maintenance primarily centers on trimming, which is done to every street and park tree once every five years.

Upon residents’ request, the city plants street trees at a cost of $100 per 10-to 12-foot- high, 1 ¾" caliper tree.   The city also sells trees for planting on private property for $100 per tree, but residents must plant them.
