Board of Landscape Design

We strive to provide services that are designed to support the city’s efforts to maintain and sustain Mountain Brook’s community forest. Well-managed trees are a vital part of the community and enhance the quality of life in the town. Our goal is to have trees that are safe, healthy, well placed and attractive, on both city-managed and private property, through the use and advocacy of professionally accepted arboricultural practices. We hope to accomplish this through special events, coordination with the city council, city employees, civic organizations, private businesses, professional associations, and other statewide entities.

The Board of Landscape Design generally meets on the first Tuesday at 5:15p.m. Meetings are conducted in the Council Chamber located at City Hall, 56 Church Street, Mountain Brook, AL 35213.
