Arlington County Forestry Unit: Tree Maintenance Program Starting in March 2026

The Arlington County Forestry Unit will start a Circuit Tree Maintenance program within BVSCA to develop a strategy to address street tree maintenance by neighborhood and attain this goal. The contractor we use for this work is Greentree, and you will see their staff and vehicles around your neighborhood. All currently planned maintenance can be viewed on the Tree Maintenance Map. Residents who have specific maintenance requests with publicly-owned trees can submit a ticket through the online Report-a-Problem system. For any questions or concerns not addressed by the resources above, please feel free to reach out directly me, Andrew Benjamin at urbanforestry@arlingtonva.us
