PLANTING PROCEDURE

Each tree we install is planted higher than the natural grade to allow for settling. Our crews will inspect the root ball of your tree to make sure the root flare is exposed and at the proper planting height. All of our trees are planted with a mixture of native soil, compost/expanded shale and Soil Moist. These products will help the soil retain moisture. Fertilizer is applied at the time of planting and the trees are watered in. All trees we plant are top-dressed with a 2” layer of mulch and staked if necessary.
