Tree Requirements

When choosing trees, please adhere to the following requirements:

  • All trees must be balled and burlap or transplanted material using a 48 inch tree spade.
  • All deciduous trees must have a minimum caliper of 2.5 inches (caliper is measured at 6 inches above the root ball), evergreens must be at least 6 feet in height.
  • Tree planting requirements vary based on the subdivision. Please contact the Planning Department at Landscape@BlaineMN.gov to verify the planting requirements for your home.
  • Trees should be planted within the lot and not within the boulevard. 

Ornamental trees do not meet landscaping requirements.
