Streamwood's 50/50 Parkway Tree Program gives residents the opportunity to purchase a tree for their parkway at 50% of the cost: you pay 50% of the cost of the tree, and the Village pays the other 50%.

The Village also offers tree planting on private property for the full price of the tree, plus a $25 service charge per tree. If funds for the 50/50-parkway tree program run out, trees may be purchased at Village cost.

On average, all trees are about 2.0 inches in diameter.  A nursery contractor will plant the trees around the end of April through June.  The nursery offers a one-time replacement guarantee, only.  Residents may purchase up to three parkway trees.  Parkway trees must be planted a minimum of 40 feet apart.  Please use a stake to mark the location where you would like to have the tree planted as soon as you decide to purchase a tree.  

Orders and checks, made payable to the Village of Streamwood, must be received by March 6th. Drop off or mail to: Streamwood Public Works Department, 565 S. Bartlett Road.  Credit and debit card transactions must be done at the Village Hall. For further information, or assistance in picking the right tree for your yard, call the Public Works Department at (630) 736-3850.
