Tree Planting
Planting a tree goes beyond just digging a hole and putting the specimen in the ground. It requires knowledge and experience to ensure that you plant the right tree in the right place. Choosing the right species for your growing conditions and landscape design can significantly boost curb appeal, provide privacy and add value to your home..
In consultation with our in-house landscape designer, we offer suggestions based on your landscape design and vision of the space. All of our trees are selected form our 100 acre tree farm or sourced from local plantations. We can ensure that your tree planting investment will be well worth it.

Tree Care Information
Don’t forget to water your trees regularly.
Water trees 2-3 times per week for 5-10 minute sessions at the base of the tree trunk and around the ground surrounding the tree bulb for the first 6 weeks after tree installation. Afterword’s continue to water in times of drought, especially in July and August. Some trees require more water than others, this depends on the subsoil base and is especially important when the subsoil is very compact, rocky, dry or clay. After that your tree will survive on its own. Granular or liquid fertilizers may be applied to speed up tree growth and aid when soil conditions are substandard. They are best applied in spring before big rainstorms. If you notice the trees are looking dull in colour or not developing as fast as they should, a fertilizer application is most likely needed. Ask us or your local garden centre which type is best for your species of tree. The first few months of transplant are the most important, proper care and maintenance at this time will ensure your tree will successfully survive on its own for years to come.
Add Mulch to the Base
It is recommended to put 2-4 inches of organic mulch (peat moss, wood chips, tree bark) around the base of the tree to improve water availability. We provide this service and other landscaping services, should the customer choose to have this done. It will also speed up the growth of your tree and aid in its survival.
Exposed Roots
If any tree roots become exposed due to tree settlement or water runoff, cover roots first with topsoil then mulch. Keeping the roots covered will prolong the life of your tree.
Exposed Roots
A) Trees can be trimmed can be trimmed anytime except in mid summer (July and August) as they will loose more nutrients if they are pruned then. Wait until the following spring to remove dead or partially dead limbs. Avoid doing too much trimming at once and do not cut more than 6 inches per branch per year.
B) Trees may adjust their angle into the ground and support straps can be adjusted by twisting the wire with a screwdriver in order to maintain positioning. Strong winds can sometimes break the wire and/or re-position the tree. If this happens please do not hesitate to notify us and we will make sure a second or third support will be provided.
C) Support wire and stakes can be painted green in order to be less visible and give the tree a more natural look. Tremclad green works great. The stakes can be removed after 3 years, just snip the wire and hammer the stakes further into the ground or pull them out.
