FAQ

Common questions

Do I need the city's permission to remove a tree in Johnston?

Trees in the public right-of-way (between sidewalk and street) are typically city-managed, and some Iowa cities require permits for their removal or work near them. Trees fully on private property are generally yours to manage — when in doubt, one call to the city forester settles it.

How fast can someone get to Johnston?

Response times depend on provider participation, location, technician availability, and demand. Trees on structures and hazard situations are prioritized; when you call, we tell you honestly what's available for Johnston right now.

What grass grows well in lawns around Johnston?

Cool-season blends — Kentucky bluegrass, fine fescue, turf-type tall fescue — dominate Iowa lawns. They green early, thrive in spring and fall, and appreciate overseeding in early autumn; expect a slowdown in high summer.
