1. Tree Conservation and Environmental Benefits: Trees play a crucial role in our ecosystem. They absorb carbon dioxide, release oxygen, and provide a habitat for wildlife. Trees also help prevent soil erosion, reduce noise pollution, and improve air quality. By planting trees, you are contributing to the conservation of our environment and making a positive impact on the planet.
2. Aesthetic and Property Value: Trees add beauty and character to any landscape. They can also increase the value of your property. A study from the University of Washington found that trees can make a property worth up to 20% more. This makes tree planting a wise investment for homeowners and property owners.
3. Shade and Energy Savings: Strategically planting trees around your property can provide shade and reduce the amount of heat absorbed by your home. This can lead to energy savings, as you won’t need to rely on air conditioning as much during the summer months.
Consider Your Property and Climate: When choosing a tree to plant, it’s essential to consider your property’s specific conditions and climate. Factors such as soil type, sunlight exposure, and temperature can all affect a tree’s growth and survival. It’s best to consult with an experienced tree planting service to determine which tree species will thrive on your property.
Native Trees vs. Non-Native Trees: Native trees are trees that are indigenous to a specific region or area. Non-native trees, also known as exotic or invasive species, are trees that are not native to a particular region but have been introduced by humans. When choosing a tree to plant, it’s best to opt for native trees as they are better adapted to the local climate and ecosystem.
Tree Size and Growth Rate: When selecting a tree, it’s essential to consider its size and growth rate. Some trees can grow to be very large and may not be suitable for smaller properties. It’s also important to consider the tree’s growth rate, as some trees can take years to reach their full size, while others can grow rapidly.
Purpose of Planting: The purpose of planting a tree can also influence your tree selection. Are you looking for a tree to provide shade, add aesthetic value, or contribute to the environment? Different tree species have different characteristics and benefits, so it’s essential to consider your purpose before making a decision.

Sometimes the best option is to remove the tree. Our professional arborists have the skills and experience to remove your trees safely and without a mess.
After we remove that tree there’s an unsightly stump left behind. Using our stump grinder we can remove it and clean up the area leaving your landscape beautiful.
Planting a tree correctly is the single most effective way to prevent future structural failure. A generic planting service may dig a hole, but an ISA-certified arborist performs a comprehensive Site Analysis (soil texture, drainage, and available space). We ensure the proper planting depth (exposing the “root flare”) to prevent “girdling roots”—a slow but fatal condition that can lead to failure decades later. This diagnostic-led approach protects your biological asset from day one.
In our region, the optimal planting windows are during dormancy: early Spring (before buds break) and late Fall (after leaf drop). These periods align with high Vascular Energy Reserves and low Metabolic Stress (transpiration). Planting during dormancy allows the tree to focus its energy on rapid root establishment, bypassing the moisture stress of the summer heat.
This is the critical variable in long-term health. The tree must be planted so that the root flare (the flare where the trunk meets the first main roots) is visible at or slightly above the soil surface. Planting too deep leads to oxygen deprivation and “girdling roots” that eventually choke the tree’s vascular system. We perform a physical audit of the root system of every tree before installation to ensure the flare is set correctly.
A tree is considered “established” when its root system is approximately 1.5 times the size of its canopy. The general “rule of thumb” is one year for every inch of trunk caliper. During this time, the tree is under high Metabolic Stress and requires proper watering.
