Tree donations in H&F parks and open spaces

Donating a tree is a wonderful opportunity to create a long lasting tribute to a person or special occasion, such as a wedding or birth. Your donation will contribute to the development of the Hammersmith & Fulham Council’s park treescape, helping to create a green environment for yourself, your family and future generations to enjoy.

Location and type of tree

The majority of the borough’s parks and open spaces are available as potential venues for tree donations. However, it is important that the trees fit into the long-term landscaping of the site. For this reason, we have selected a range of suitable trees for each available site (please see lists below). Once you have completed your form, the parks officer responsible for the site will make contact with you to discuss the exact location of your tree planting.

When to plant

The main season for tree planting is from November to March. At this time of year trees are in a dormant state and are able to be planted with minimum of distress. This will allow good establishment of your tree. Enquiries made outside of the main planting season will be added to a list. A parks officer will make contact in September/October, when preparations for the year’s tree planting begins.

Aftercare and maintenance

The planting cost covers the watering of your tree for two years. Trees will be staked at the time of planting. If your tree fails during this two-year period, we will cover the cost of a replacement. Regrettably, we are not able to cover the cost of trees which have been vandalised, stolen or affected by pests and/or diseases. If you wish to have a tree guard or grill fitted at the time of planting, we can arrange this at an extra cost.

Pricing

Unfortunately, we are not able to supply a cost for your tree as prices vary depending on the tree species and market price; however, a light standard tree (a tree between 2m – 3m in height) will cost between £100 and £250.

Planting, staking and two-year maintenance of the tree will be an additional £170.00.

All prices are subject to a 10% administration fee and a full cost with breakdown will be supplied at the time of your enquiry.

Payment

An invoice will be sent to the address provided on the application form along with details about how to pay. Please do not send cheques or cash directly to the parks team as we have no means of processing.
