Trees Atlanta, a nonprofit organization committed to the care and replenishment of metro Atlanta's urban forest, manages the processing of tree requests and coordinates with each homeowner for the selection, placement, and installation of up to two front yard trees per yard through this program.

A total of 189 front yard trees have been planted through this program in Dunwoody, beginning with the 2022-23 planting season. Planting for 2025 will continue through March. The new trees must be planted on private property within 35 feet of a right-of-way. Front yard locations allow mature trees to provide shade in public areas. After planting, property owners shall be responsible for watering and maintaining the new trees. Trees will be allotted on a first-come, first-served basis.
