Tree and Shrub Installation Done Right for Lasting Results
Trees and shrubs are long-term investments. Plant the wrong species, plant it in the wrong location, or plant it incorrectly — and you've wasted that investment. Done right, a single well-placed tree can transform a property for decades.
We take tree and shrub installation seriously — selecting the right plant for the right place, preparing the site properly, and installing with technique that gives every plant the best possible chance of long-term success.
Tree Selection & Sourcing
Selecting trees appropriate for your climate zone, soil type, space constraints, and visual goals — avoiding common species with structural problems.
Shrub Installation
Planting ornamental shrubs, foundation plantings, and screening shrubs at correct depth and spacing for healthy, long-term establishment.
Proper Planting Technique
Digging correctly sized holes, addressing root ball handling, backfill preparation, and proper initial watering to maximize establishment success.
Balled & Burlapped Trees
Handling and planting large B&B specimens that require equipment and expertise to install successfully without damaging the root system.
Staking & Support
Providing appropriate temporary staking for larger trees to prevent wind rock during establishment while allowing natural trunk movement.
Establishment Fertilizing
Applying biostimulants and root-zone fertilizers at planting time to reduce transplant shock and accelerate establishment and new growth.

The #1 Planting Mistake: Too Deep
More trees die from being planted too deep than from any other single cause. When the root flare is buried, the bark suffocates, roots circle, and the tree declines over years — or fails suddenly after a storm.
We always plant with the root flare at or slightly above grade — one of the most important details that separates professional planting from common mistakes.
