The Avon Lake Tree Commission is dedicated to helping you add more greenery to our streets and neighborhoods. The Commission works with local utilities and others to stake appropriate planting areas for residents. We also provide a list of recommended trees and clearance distances for the planting sites.

Street Tree Planting 

This program is temporarily suspended. The City of Avon Lake is not currently accepting tree lawn permit requests. 

Tree Lawn Pollinator Gardens

Residents can help to build a bio-diverse network that supports pollinators. Through research provided by the Avon-on-the-Lake Garden Club, City Council passed an ordinance in February 2020 to allow tree lawns to be planted with native plants to become a part of the National Pollinator Highway. This effort is supported by Congress and State governments. Residents interested in participating in the program can download the Pollinator Planting Permit – PDF
