Professional Tree & Shrub Planting

Successful planting starts with the right species for your site, followed by proper hole sizing, root flare positioning, backfill, watering, and staking when needed. We plan for mature size and infrastructure to avoid future conflicts and maintenance headaches.

Species selection for climate, soil, sun, and wind
Proper planting depth with visible root flare
Amendments, mulch rings, and initial fertilization (as needed)
Watering plans & optional drip/soaker setup
Staking & protection from traffic, pets, and wildlife

Ideal for These Goals

Shade, privacy screening, and wind breaks
Foundation-friendly choices with mature size in mind
Pollinator-friendly and drought-tolerant landscapes
Replacing removed or declining trees
Upgrading curb appeal and property value

1) Site Walk & Quote

We review goals, sun/soil, irrigation, and space for mature size, then recommend species and provide pricing.

2) Prep & Placement

Mark utilities, prep soil, size the hole, and position the root flare at grade with the correct orientation.

3) Plant & Establish

Backfill, water-in, mulch, stake if needed, and set up a clear watering plan for the first growing seasons.

Establishment Care & Warranty

Ask about our establishment care visits for the first year—adjust staking, check moisture, and guide pruning for strong structure.
