Tree Tip of the Day: Permits Matter — Even on Your Property

 Helping homeowners in The Highlands (40205)

You might be surprised to learn that in some parts of Louisville — including The Highlands — removing a tree from your yard might require a city permit.

It depends on:

  • The size of the tree (trunk diameter)

  • Whether it’s on public right-of-way

  • If it’s part of a protected canopy zone

  • The reason for removal (hazard vs. preference)

Trying to figure it out alone can be frustrating. That’s why we handle it for you — from documentation to city coordination.

Whether the tree is sick, leaning, or just in the way of a renovation, we’ll assess it and walk you through the next legal step.
