Tree challenges in Northville
- Emerald ash borer — like all of Southeast Michigan, Northville has lost significant ash trees to EAB since its discovery in 2002. Dead and declining ash remain on many properties.
- Mature trees on historic lots — Northville’s older neighborhoods have trees planted decades ago that can outgrow their lots, encroaching on rooflines and driveways.
- Oak wilt risk — oaks should not be pruned between April and July to prevent the spread of this fungal disease, which is present across Southeast Michigan.
Local tree regulations
Both the City of Northville and Northville Township have tree-related ordinances:
- The City of Northville’s Chapter 90 (Vegetation) covers tree care requirements
- Northville Township’s tree and woodlands replacement ordinance protects existing trees in development areas, with trees within 10 feet of a building footprint exempt from preservation requirements
We recommend checking with your municipality before scheduling removal.
