Shade Tree Planting

What This Service Involves

A mature shade tree can drop summer temperatures, lower cooling costs, and give your property a settled, established feel. We select broad-canopy species like red maple, oak, and katsura that grow strong in our climate and place them where their shade will benefit patios, windows, or lawn areas. Because these trees become permanent landmarks, we carefully consider mature size, root spread, and clearance from structures and utilities. Each tree is planted with proper depth and drainage prep, then staked and mulched to weather its first Northwest seasons.
