Street Tree Planting

“Our” tree was planted today, through the NY Tree Trust. I was really impressed that they were able to accomplish this in the same season in which the old tree was taken down. I’ll write a longer post with today’s date.

The City is taking down the >100 year old Norway maple in front of our house as I write. I just filed an on line request for a replacement, but I was wondering if anyone knows of a private company that can apply for a permit and plant a street tree and how much this might cost. I’m fairly old and would rather not wait the number of years that the City takes to plant a replacement, IF I can afford to have the work done privately.

BTW I phoned Kings County Nursery. They do not do this work and don’t know of anyone who does.

Pulling permit from the park department and planting alone you can do for $800 and more. Problem is you will probably have to take care of the stump and widen the tree pit, and that will be more costly. If you choose to request a tree from the park department now, you may have it next spring or fall, but I know they have a requests backlog and it may be longer…

Call the Parks Department; they may have some of Bloomberg’s one million trees left that need a home.

Resident2, Thanks–I’ve already done that. I was just wondering if I could speed things up to any appreciable degree with having a tree planted privately and if the cost for that was prohibitive.

Transworld, Thank you. Fortunately the existing tree pit is VERY large. The tree that was taken down (because it was hollow and dying) was probably the original from c. 1899 (at least it was very large in my 1940 tax photograph). I hated to see it go, but my wife was worried that it might fall on someone (and, when I saw that it was hollow for the entire length of the trunk, I had to concede that she was probably right).

Yes, they left the stump; Parks will eventually grind it down, if I decide to wait. Does anyone have experience with Urban Arborists, on State Street. I’d consider having them plant a tree IF it will be appreciably faster than the City (AND if I can afford it).

Yeah I have some trees that were cut 10 months ago and the stump is still here. I was very disappointed with the park department this year, they struck me as very unprofessional. Not sure why I would have picture people taking care of trees as nicer people. In term of efficiency they are pretty much similar to DOB. Urban Arborist is probably great but expensive. You could also rent the grinder and do the job yourself, then plant a new tree yourself without telling anyone. You can get any nursery to order the tree for you.

Not a bad idea transworld, but, since a street tree is VERY visible, I think I should have the work done legally, with a permit and everything.

Urban Arborists are good – I’ve had them estimate high on some things but reasonable on others.

A few years ago Parks created a tree pit in front of my store and planted a dead tree. Then my tenants planted a healthy crab apple tree, which tree stayed in place for about 1.5 years. Then a Parks contractor came around and yanked up the tenant’s tree and broke a couple of squares of 130+ year old bluestone sidewalk with the weight of their Bobcat and planted another dead tree. Finally they came back again and planted a slightly larger crab apple.

I won’t even go in the details of this department wasting so much money and complaining they are under-funded. I am also worried of seeing them planting so many tree while they are not able to maintain the existing stock.

Call Eric Adams’ office – when Marty Markowitz was BP, we called him after submitting our request to Parks and got the whole process done in about 3 months. Including digging a pit, getting a tree, and getting a nice new tree pit guard!! As you only need one of these three things, your request may be addressed even more quickly.

If you get a tree from the City you have to sign an agreement to do upkeep & in some instances you have to take a class in how to do it.
