Program Overview
The Tree Care Program is administered through the Department of Public Works and is responsible for the maintenance of trees on public grounds and within the right of way along streets. This program provides for the public safety through the removal of dead and dangerous limbs and trees along public ways and on public grounds. This program has historically also provided for the planting of additional shade trees to replace trees that have been removed.
Who can I call if I want a public shade tree?
Any Town of Stoneham resident that would like a public shade tree should contact the Public Works Department at 781-438-0760 to have their name put on a list (as long as monies are available in the Tree Department budget to purchase trees). The trees are generally planted in the spring time. Any town resident that does receive a tree must take care of watering the tree on a regular basis for the first year couple of years.
Who do I call if the Town tree in my front yard needs to be trimmed?
Contact the Public Works Department at 781-438-0760 to have your name and address put on the tree list. The tree warden will look at the tree to prioritize its condition in relation to other tree requests.
Does the Town of Stoneham spray for gypsy moths or diseased trees?
