The Village of Lincolnwood is nestled between Skokie and the city of Chicago. The Village takes great pride in its Art Gallery, Chamber Orchestra, and Community Television as well as the accomplishments of the village's Economic Development Commission

The Lincolnwood Public Works Department is responsible for maintenance of the trees on public properties. It is estimated that the Village owns and maintains over 7,000 parkway trees. Tree trimming is performed in order to maintain a healthy stock of trees and to keep residents, pedestrians and motorists safe from dead or weak branches. If a property owner wants their tree to be trimmed, they can make a Tree Trimming Request and have the Public Works Department trim their parkway trees.

The Public Works Department only trims parkway trees for public safety or the health of the tree. This can be initiated either by a Department directive or by property owner request.

The Village does not permit private contractors or other agencies to trim Village trees. Only trained Public Works' staff is permitted to trim parkway trees. The Village Municipal Code prohibits the destruction of any parkway trees.

Private Property

There is a permit needed to remove trees that are more than 8" in diameter at breast height. Non-hazardous tree removal permits cost $65 per tree. For more specific information on the permit process, you can visit this village tree management ordinance link.
