Arlington requires tree replacement for development projects that remove protected trees. The UDC landscaping standards specify replacement requirements for new commercial and multi-family development.
Development projects removing trees may need to plant replacements per UDC standards. New commercial and multi-family developments must meet landscape tree planting requirements. Street tree replacements are managed by Public Works. The city recommends species suited to North Texas climate including heat-tolerant and drought-resistant varieties.
Failure to meet landscape requirements delays final inspections. Damaged street trees must be replaced at the responsible party's expense.
