Tinley Park requires replacement of trees removed during development at ratios established in site plan approvals, and parkway trees removed by the Village or by permit are typically replaced by Village forestry.
Tree replacement in Tinley Park is governed by site-plan conditions for new development and by Village practice for parkway trees. Development projects submit a tree preservation and replacement plan as part of zoning and subdivision review; replacement ratios depend on the size and species of removed trees and may range from 1:1 replacement for smaller trees to higher ratios for significant specimens. Approved species come from the Village's recommended list, excluding invasive and high-maintenance varieties. Parkway trees removed by the Village are typically replaced at Village expense within a planting season. Private owners who lose a parkway tree to storm damage can coordinate with Public Works for replacement. Arbor Day events frequently feature community tree plantings.
Failure to complete approved tree replacement: final-occupancy holds, performance-bond forfeiture, and fines up to $2,500.
