How It Works
Help us make Cheyenne a more beautiful place
Adding trees to our public rights-of-way and boulevards is an important part of helping keep Cheyenne beautiful! But, how does this whole process work? In order to be able to plant a tree at your residential property, your home must be within the city limits of Cheyenne and have the room available to do so. Right now, we only offer trees to residential properties.
You might be saying, “that all sounds wonderful… but what is the right-of way? And how do I know if there’s room in my right-of-way for a tree?”

What is the public right-of-way?
In the simplest terms as it relates to planting trees, public right-of-way refers to the grassy area either between the road and the sidewalk (detached) or the area between the sidewalk and your property (attached.) Check out the graphic below to better understand where the public right-of-way exists and for a more detailed explanation watch our informational video.

Where can I plant my trees?
We will help designate where your tree can be planted, but here are some specifications to use when deciding on your planting location:
At least 15’ from other trees
25’ from stop signs
10’ from fire hydrants
6’ behind attached sidewalks
8’ from water meters/pits, driveways, and alleyways
Centered within tree lawns/planters

The Rooted in Cheyenne Process
At every step of the process, we’ll be in contact with you to let you know what is happening.
Fill out the form below to begin the process.
We process your request.
An arborist will assess your site to see if you have room to plant a tree. (We will try to take into consideration homeowners’ location requests for their trees.)
You’ll get a personalized link in an email to pick and pay for your trees after all site visits are complete, about a month or two before planting day. Trees are $50 each. (If you are unable to afford the trees, we do offer a free tree program for qualified Cheyenne residents.)
Two weeks before planting dates are scheduled, we will have your underground utilities marked.
An arborist will assess the site and mark where your tree will be planted, in accordance with city ordinances and utility lines.
Your tree will be delivered and planted on your assigned planting day.
We do not warranty trees or refund money for trees after they have been planted. We do try to give your trees the best care to ensure survival.
