Talk to our experts about water conservation, the environment and so much more! We will be providing free coffee and donuts while you wait to pick up your trees.
Please note, there is a TWO (2) tree limit per household and you must bring proof of residency through an ID. If you do not know if you are within city limits, check your utility bill. If you are billed from the City of Oviedo, you are a resident in the city limits.
After you take your tree home, read the instructions on planting and do not plant your tree in an easement. When you plant a tree in the easement, the roots can spread deep and wide. Those roots can infiltrate the public stormwater system. While the ground above appears to have normal root growth, it can push into fences. However, beneath the surface is a different story. The roots (in this case) have completely infiltrated the stormwater drain, which is a very costly and time-consuming repair. The picture(s) show one of our stormwater drains blocked by root growth. This damage can lead to blockages and backups which lead to street flooding. If you refer to your property survey to see where your property easements are. Let’s keep our roadways and property safe from flooding!
