Department Services

How to Take Care of a New Tree

Your new tree will really appreciate being watered on a regular basis until it is established.  Just a five-gallon bucket of water each week can be the difference between a lovely growing tree and a dead sapling.  Residents with new trees are reminded that weed whackers should not be used around the trunk.  The damage caused when the bark is stripped will kill the tree.  If you have any questions about tree care or maintenance, please call the city forester at 769-2216.  Thank you for your cooperation! Cudahy is proud to be a Tree City USA.
