The planting will take place on Monday 14 and Tuesday 15 March. Parking in the Boulevard will be limited while the work is in progress so motorists are advised to avoid parking there on those two days.
Last year 15 of the older cherry trees that line the Boulevard were removed having reached the end of their life expectancy.
Surveys by North Somerset Council tree officers had revealed that the trees, planted in the 1960s and 70s, were suffering from decay and fungal infections and posed an "unacceptable" risk to the public.
Of the 30 new trees being planted, 20 are being provided by Weston Civic Society and the other 10 by Kier Utilities. Kier will also help by digging the holes for the trees and Glendale will carry out the planting.
"I am delighted that, thanks to generous donations from the Civic Society and Kier, we will be able to plant double the number of trees that had to be removed last year," said Cllr Mike Solomon, the council's executive member for neighbourhoods and community services.
"Cherry trees are synonymous with the Boulevard and planting these new trees will ensure they continue to line the road for decades to come for future generations to enjoy."
David Agassiz, chairman of Weston Civic Society, said: "The Civic Society is pleased to be involved with the planting of further trees in the Boulevard, one of our most joyful sights each Spring."
