Streets Department

Forestry
The Street Department has an extensive Forestry program. This includes tree trimming, removing beehives from trees, and removal of diseased, dead, or dying trees within the City’s right-of-way. We also coordinate tree plantings and maintenance, including watering, mulching, and fertilizing, of downtown area trees.

Tree Concerns & Complaints
Residents with specific complaints or concerns regarding a street tree growing in the City’s right-of-way may request that a tree be evaluated. Evaluations are conducted by the Street Department at no cost to the resident. If you would like a tree evaluated, please call the Street Department at 586-469-6847.

Tree Planting
The City of Mount Clemens contracts periodical tree plantings to replace trees that have been removed from the City’s right-of-way. If you would like to request that a tree be planted in front of your home between the curb and the sidewalk, please call the Street Department at 586-469-6847.

Tree Permits
Residents may also plant a tree in the right-of-way. For more information, follow the link below or call the Street Department for more information. Tree Permit Form
