Planting

Half the trees we take out died because of how they were planted — too deep, root-bound, staked wrong, or the wrong tree in the wrong spot. We plant shade trees, ornamentals, evergreens, hedges and foundation shrubs the right way: the right species for the light, the soil and the space it will need in twenty years, the root flare at grade, the hole wide rather than deep, mulched and watered in. We will also replace what we removed, put in a privacy screen along a lot line, or plant out a new bed after a mulch job.
