Tree Planting

What This Service Involves

Choosing the right tree for the right spot is the difference between a struggling sapling and a decades-long landscape anchor. Our crews assess your soil drainage, sun exposure, and mature-canopy spacing before a single hole is dug, because clay-heavy PNW soils demand careful root-zone preparation. We source vigorous nursery stock suited to USDA zones 8a-8b and set each tree at the correct depth to prevent the girdling roots that plague hastily planted specimens. After planting, we mulch, stake where wind exposure warrants, and walk you through a simple establishment-watering routine.

Benefits

Expert species selection matched to your microclimate; Proper root-flare depth that prevents long-term decline; Improved drainage prep for heavy Northwest clay; Increased property value and curb appeal; Establishment guidance so your tree survives its first summer

Our Process

1) Assess site drainage, light, and mature spacing; 2) Amend soil and dig a wide planting hole; 3) Set the tree at proper depth and backfill; 4) Mulch, stake if needed, and deep-water in

Best Time of Year

Fall is ideal in the Pacific Northwest so winter rains establish roots, though early spring planting works well before summer dry spells arrive.
