Parkway Tree Program
The Village welcomes residents to participate in the Village Tree-Planting Program. All trees are provided by the Village at no charge. Each year fall, the Flossmoor Public Works, Flossmoor Green Commission and community volunteers plant the trees on Village parkways. Planting trees is a great way to add beauty and enhance property values in our community. Trees also provide many environmental benefits, including cleaning the air we breathe, providing wildlife habitat and providing shade to reduce temperatures.
Residents can request trees via an online form or downloadable form. The Village Forestry Maintenance Technician must approve tree species and locations. Efforts will be made to plant the preferred tree species. Changes to species may be necessary due to nursery availability, parkway location and to promote species diversity. Approved applications will be put on the Village tree planting list and planted on a first-come, first-serve basis. For each tree approved, a stake will be placed in the parkway to mark the planting location. Residents must commit to weekly watering of their new tree for 2-3 years at a minimum of 15 gallons of water per week. Mulching around the new tree is also highly recommended to ensure proper growth. Please contact Flossmoor Public Works at 708-957-4100 with questions.
Deadline for requesting trees for Fall 2025 is Sept. 15, 2025.
