Tree Planting

Each year, the City of Dorval plants nearly one hundred trees in roadway setbacks and in parks. Property owners wishing to benefit from the planting program can put in a request. The City asks citizens to water newly-planted trees to help reduce maintenance cost. Planting a poplar, willow or silver maple is regulated everywhere in Dorval and you must first obtain certain information from the Public Works Department. Planting a tree, at a distance of two meters (2 m) from a fire hydrant, a service entrance, electrical wires or a street lamp of public property is also prohibited.

“Ensemble, on verdit!” campaign
The campaign “Ensemble, on verdit!” allows all resident to plant one or more new trees on their property or to replace a felled tree. It gives citizens the opportunity to purchase trees that comply with Dorval’s regulations through an online platform dedicated to our municipality.

Ash Trees

FELLING REQUEST
No deposit is required to cut down an ash tree. A felling permit is however mandatory. See the section above (Tree Felling) to consult the procedure.

FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM FOR THE TREATMENT AND CUTTING DOWN OF ASH TREES
For details on the financial assistance program, click here.

Dangerous trees

Any tree located on a private property that presents a risk for public safety in part or in whole because of its bad condition will have to be cut, prunned or removed within fifteen (15) days of the reception of an officer's notice. No work shall be undertaken by City staff on private property, except when a tree has fallen in the street.

Construction and Improvement Work

Trees must be protected during construction work. Therefore, a temporary fence must be installed on the periphery of any tree that will not be cut down. This fence must cover the tree’s branches projection to the ground. In the event that this technique cannot be used, a wood protection must be installed on the trunk and a temporary layer of mulch of at least 20 cm must be spread on the ground to cover the tree’s branches projection to the ground. This second alternative allows the passage of trucks on the construction site.
