Planting a tree can’t be all that hard, can it? Every year on Arbor Day and Earth Day we see public service announcements admonishing everyone to plant a tree, so why the need for a professional tree planting service?

Professional tree planters are usually hired to plant larger trees. Planting larger trees is an attractive option  to customers looking to give their landscape an instantly-finished, established look. But tree planting service professionals assist with much more than just digging a hole and setting the tree into the ground. Let’s look at some of the aspects of professional tree installation:

Tree Selection and Placement

The tree planting service company will work with the customer to survey the placement of trees and take into account the varieties of trees attractive to the customer. Professional tree planters can assess the soil and sun exposure of the tree’s intended site to determine whether the desired species of tree will thrive in that location, what the tree’s impact may be on nearby vegetation, and so forth. Making sure you plant the right tree in the first place is so very important, and a tree installation professional will know how to advise the customer. Furthermore, the tree planters have ongoing relationships and experience with local tree nurseries, providing you with the healthiest tree for the best price.

Tree Installation

Trees and their root balls can be extremely heavy. Once the tree trunk diameter increases, the root ball weight increases as well and can weigh over 1000 pounds. Our crews carefully use special techniques and equipment to handle the trees while loading, transporting, unloading and getting them installed correctly.

Tree Care Consultation

The tree installation professional will give the customer instructions on how to best take care of the tree, what routine should be executed for watering, feeding, and pruning, and will be available to the customer in the ensuing years to help with any of these needs.

Tree Warranty

Trees that are professionally installed typically come with a warranty, giving the customer peace of mind that if there are any defects not evident at installation, they have recourse they can pursue.

A healthy tree planted correctly, and cared for by the proper routine, will thrive. Trees planted without any attention given to these areas of concern can end up suffering stress, a reduced growth rate, and will probably fail as a result. Furthermore, contacting a professional can minimize your costs later.  We remove trees all the time due to improper planting and spacing.  Before you plant your next tree, give us a call for a free quote and recommendation.
