Expert Installation for Lasting Health

Many plants fail within the first year because they were installed incorrectly. We follow strict arboricultural standards to give your new trees and shrubs the best start possible.

Our Planting Standards:

  • Proper Hole Depth: Ensuring the root flare is visible and not buried too deep.
  • Soil Amendment: Mixing native soil with compost or nutrients to encourage root growth.
  • Strategic Spacing: Planting with the mature size of the tree or shrub in mind.
  • Staking & Bracing: Providing support for young trees until they are established.
  • Initial Saturation: Deep watering to eliminate air pockets in the soil.
