Neighborhood Tree Program



I want to have a tree planted – how does it work?
Ojai Trees has a team of trained Neighborhood Foresters that will contact you to see what your needs are. These are folks who probably live right in your neighborhood. They will help you with basic tree selection and location.

If necessary, we’ll schedule a tree expert to meet with you at your property to determine the right tree for the right place. Tree selection is very important and can’t be done over the phone or internet!

After you have selected and ordered your tree, we’ll order it and the supplies that are needed. We then plant the tree very carefully during one of our Neighborhood Planting Events. They are lots of fun and you are welcome to join in!


What are the benefits of having Ojai Trees plant my tree?
1. Expert advice: One of our expert tree advisors helps you select the right tree for the right place, meeting your desired goals and avoiding conflicts with utilities.
2. Quality planting: One of our trained Planting Supervisors will make sure the tree is planted properly.
3. Easy on your back: You don' t have to transport and carry the tree, or rent or borrow tools for the job.
4. You will have the Satisfaction of working with your neighborhood to help heal the environment.
