Tree Planting

Tree Planting for Success

Root inspection before purchasing

Which kind of tree should you plant? That depends on many factors which include:

  • Tree Function
  • Form and Mature Tree Size
  • Site Conditions
  • Cold-Hardiness
  • Pest and Disease Resistance

Deciding on a suitable tree species to plant in a particular location can be a difficult task for many consumers because there are hundreds of species to consider. Each tree has different aesthetic qualities, many need different environmental conditions, and only some are successful landscape solutions. But don’t worry because we have professional arborists on staff who can ensure that you choose wisely and plant the right tree in the right place.

To ensure that your new tree grows rapidly and remains healthy, it is important to plant the tree properly by digging a shallow broad planting hole and by avoiding the most common mistake, planting the tree too deeply. One of our arborists will personally select a high quality specimen from a local nursery, transport your tree in a covered truck to avoid wind damage, plant it according to published industry standards, and make certain it is mulched and staked properly. With proper selection, placement and planting, your new tree will thrive, benefiting our urban wildlife and providing long-lasting beauty to your landscape.
