Street Trees

The Street Tree program is a city-wide requirement. Information can be found on the City's website: https://www.lexingtonky.gov/street-trees.

 

Street trees benefit our community in many ways. They define the character of our neighborhoods and add to the value of our properties. Street trees, typically located between the sidewalk and curb, provide aesthetic, environmental and socioeconomic benefits that help improve our quality of life. 

 

Street trees need to be pruned to a height of at least 7 feet above sidewalks and 12 feet above streets. This allows for vehicles to pass under them on the street and pedestrians to get by them on the sidewalk.  

 

While the City has a list of approved street trees, know that each street within the HOA has a limited number of tree species that can be used. 

 

 

 

Red Maple: Autumn Ridge Drive, Deer Crossing Way, Windy Meadow Way, Misty Morning Circle, Sedona Vista, Rochester Court, and Ramblewood Way

 

Thornless Honey Locust: Winter Haven Way, Indian Summer Trail, and Crimson Creek Way

 

Black Gum aka Black Tupelo: Briarpatch Way, Michaels Cove, Doe Meadow Court, Pheasant Run, and Willow Spring

 

For those owning corner lots, abide by the street on which the tree is located.

 

 

 

Red Maple (acer rubrum): Glory, Autumn Blaze, Red Sunset, and Autumn Flame

Thornless Honey Locust (gleditsia triacanthos var. inermis): Shademaster (male only)
