Parkway planting is up to you
The United City of Yorkville doesn't require parkway trees and won't reimburse private planting. If you plant one, it must be on the Approved Parkway Tree list, 50 feet from other parkway trees, 20 feet from lights and hydrants, and 30 feet from intersections (City of Yorkville). City: 630-553-4350.
Park removals
In 2025 the City planned a safety removal of trees in Wheaton Woods park (Shaw Local).
Storms
In the July 16, 2025 storm, trees fell on power lines along Meadowview Lane and a 4–5 inch tree snapped west-northwest of town (NWS). During the 2026 derecho, Yorkville police said the area escaped significant damage (Shaw Local).
