Tree Management

Leaves and branches on a tree

The Town of Kingsville has a Tree Management Policy, which offers guidelines for the protection, removal, and planting of trees within the municipal right-of-way or Town property. The Town will NOT consider removing a tree for any of the following reasons:

  • To enhance or maintain view corridors
  • To resolve an issue with shade on neighbouring properties
  • To stop naturally occurring processes such as protruding roots or deposits of leaves, flowers or seeds
  • To stop driveway or sidewalk upheaval or,
  • If the removal is in contravention of Federal or Provincial legislation.

There are times, however, when a tree needs to come down. For example:

  • An Arborist has determined it to be hazardous
  • Removal is a necessary part of an approved development or a capital project
  • The tree is so damaged by natural causes that it could fall on a person, or property
  • The tree is encroaching into a road and blocking sightlines, which could be dangerous for motorists and pedestrians

Tree removal communication process

If a landmark tree that will significantly alter the streetscape or natural features of the neighbourhood is scheduled for removal, Infrastructure and Engineering will alert members of council as to the reasoning and mark the tree with an “X” to give residents advanced warning. If you see an X on a tree and you’re curious as to why it’s being removed, just ask! You can contact a member of Council or email your inquiry to kingsvilleworks@kingsville.ca.

Request a tree

The Town of Kingsville is committed to planting two (2) trees for every one (1) tree removed from Town property.  We offer residents two planting options. 

  • Street Tree Planting
  • Commemorative Tree Program

If you’re a property owner who would like to request a tree in front of your residence on the Municipal Boulevard, or if you're interested in our Commemorative Tree Program, please fill out our Tree Planting Request Form.
