Our Planting Process
-
Site Assessment
We evaluate sun exposure, soil conditions, drainage, and existing plants to select appropriate species and placement.
-
Quality Plant Selection
We source from reputable local nurseries, selecting healthy specimens with strong root systems and proper form.
-
Proper Planting
Holes dug 2-3x root ball width. Plants set at correct depth (root flare visible). Backfilled with native soil, not amendments that can trap roots.
-
Staking & Mulching
Trees staked when necessary (not all need it). 2-3" mulch applied in a wide ring, pulled back from trunk. No volcano mulching.
