Parkway Tree Maintenance
The Village manages and maintains more than 30,000 trees throughout its parkways and municipal properties. Managing this urban forest requires a clear understanding of the trees, their ages, conditions and location so that crews can perform work.
Glenview Public Works is responsible for the planting, maintenance and removal of trees located along public roads and rights-of-way. Parkway tree planting by the Village is done in the spring and fall each year. Each public tree is inspected at least once every six years by a licensed arborist.
Urban Forest Management Plan
An urban forest includes the trees growing in a city, town or suburb, and Glenview’s Urban Forest Management Plan outlines the goals, budgets and best practices for the management of the Village's urban forest through 2032.
The mission of the Plan is to increase the tree canopy cover within the Village and maximize the benefits trees provide. The Plan, which was supported by a grant from the USDA Forest Service and the Illinois Department of Natural Resources through the Chicago Region Trees Initiative, was approved by the Village Board in 2022.

Bulk and brush pick-ups
The Village does not provide pickups for bulk items such as appliances and brush. These arrangements must be made directly by the homeowner with Groot Industries by calling (847) 734-6450.
Grass and weeds
The Village actively enforces the ordinances regarding the cutting of privately owned lots. Grass and weeds must not exceed 8 inches in height.
