This program is open to for-profit businesses, non profit organizations, local government and schools. The application period is open now and closes on January 30, 2025.

Tree Trimming Lake Elmo Public Works Staff will be trimming trees over public sidewalks, trails and along the roadways as weather permits. Tree trimming is necessary to improve the health and appearance of trees and to lessen the interference with pedestrians, bikers and traffic. Trimming is required if trees are obstructing street lights, signs, trails, and roadways. Trees are trimmed to 20 feet over streets or curb, and 7 feet over a sidewalk or path. Staff will only be trimming trees which are in the city’s right-of-way (typically 15 feet behind the curb or road edge) or impede on a city sidewalk and trail. Limbs will be cut back to the trunk of the tree and will be removed from the site. To balance the appearance of a tree staff will occasionally trim around all sides of a tree.
