Neighborhood Trees

All of the Love Your Block trees have found homes in Duluth, MN and are no longer available for planting.

Thank you to everyone who applied, planted, or expressed interest in a tree.

Trees provide benefits to our neighborhoods by improving air quality, keeping spaces cool and shaded, improving mental health, attracting birds that control pests, and absorbing excess water to reduce flooding.

Love Your Block is thrilled to provide trees to property owners in Duluth city limits. This effort is made possible with support from the Duluth Superior Area Community Foundation, Great Lakes One Watershed (GLOW), Ready North, and the City of Duluth.

To request a tree please fill out the form below or call 218-390-5415 for assistance. 

Before you submit a form, please be sure that you can commit to the following: 

Select a tree planting site that will give the tree the best chance of survival. This means a site that is:

  • At least 3 feet from pavement or fencing; 
  • 15 feet from buildings or other trees;
  • 24 feet from overhead wires if your tree will grow taller than 30 feet;
  • and is within an accessible distance (either by hand or hose) from a water source. 

If this isn’t possible due to the layout of the yard or personal abilities. Is there a neighbor that might be well suited to plant a tree? You can benefit from a tree in their yard too! Share this opportunity with them. 

After submitting your form:

  1. Call the free utility marking service to identify underground utilities at least 3 days prior to planting day. GopherOneCall at 811 or visit gopherstateoncall.org
  2. Wait for an email from afrazer@duluthmn.gov. Be sure to check your spam folder if you do not receive an email within two weeks.
  3. Choose a drop-off date via the emailed sign-up form.
  4. Dig a hole to receive your tree! 36 inches wide by 18 inches deep. 
  5. Tree will be dropped in your front yard. Plant the tree in your hole, cover it with dirt and mulch, and water it!
  6. Commit to watering the tree - especially during dry spells - for best survival success. You will be provided with care instructions via email.
