Instant impact with mature specimen trees
Why wait years for shade and presence? Large tree planting allows you to enjoy the benefits of mature trees immediately. Our experienced team handles every aspect of large tree installation, from selection and sourcing to planting and establishment care, ensuring your investment thrives for generations.
Large tree planting requires specialized equipment and expertise. We have access to tree spades, cranes, and heavy machinery needed to transport and plant large specimens safely. Our crews are trained in proper rigging, handling, and installation techniques for trees up to 30 feet tall or more.
We work with reputable nurseries to source the highest quality large-caliper trees. All specimens are inspected for health, structure, and root quality before purchase. We can help you select appropriate species for your site conditions and design goals, considering mature size, growth rate, and maintenance needs.
Proper site selection is crucial for large tree success. We evaluate soil conditions, drainage, sun exposure, overhead utilities, underground services, and space requirements. Our assessment identifies any site limitations and determines if soil amendments or drainage improvements are needed. We also consider future growth and ensure adequate clearance from structures, utilities, and property lines.
Large tree installation follows strict protocols. We excavate planting holes to proper dimensions, typically 2-3 times the root ball width. Soil is amended as needed to match root ball soil. Trees are carefully positioned at correct depth and orientation, ensuring the best side faces the primary viewing angle. Root balls are set on undisturbed soil to prevent settling.
Large trees typically require temporary staking or guying for stability during establishment. We install support systems that hold trees securely without causing damage. Stakes or guy wires are positioned to allow natural trunk movement, which actually promotes faster root establishment. Support systems are monitored and typically removed after 1-2 years.
The first two years are critical for large tree establishment. We provide detailed care instructions covering watering, mulching, and monitoring. Many clients opt for our maintenance programs that include regular watering during the first season, mulch replenishment, fertilization, and professional monitoring to address any issues early.
Large tree planting represents a significant investment in your property's future. While more expensive than planting small trees, large specimens provide immediate benefits and years of head start on growth. With proper installation and care, these trees will provide beauty, shade, and value for generations. Our experience ensures your investment receives the best possible start.
