Trees in Nassau County road rights-of-way fall under DPW jurisdiction. Residents wanting to plant or remove parkway trees need DPW approval, with species, location, and clearance standards designed to protect utilities.
Nassau DPW manages trees in the county road right-of-way, including the strip between sidewalk and curb on county routes. Property owners must request DPW permission before planting, pruning, or removing parkway trees. Approved species lists favor native and disease-resistant varieties suited to Long Island climate, with clearance from utility lines, sight triangles at intersections, and minimum spacing from poles. LIPA and PSEG Long Island also coordinate utility-line clearance pruning. Town and village roads use parallel local rules administered by their own highway or public works departments.
Unapproved planting or removal can result in stop-work orders, replacement requirements, and civil penalties under DPW administrative enforcement.
