Overview

Most Young Trees Die From How They Were Planted

The two things that kill new trees are planting too deep and letting the nursery root ball dry out. Both are avoidable, and both are what we plan the job around.

We dig wide and shallow, find the true root flare in the container, correct circling roots and set the tree so the flare sits at finished grade. Backfill is native soil, not a pocket of amendment the roots will refuse to leave.

Species selection matters as much as technique. We pick trees suited to Post Oak Savannah soil, your drainage and the space the tree will need in thirty years, not just what looks good on delivery day.

  • 15, 30, 45, 65 and 100 gallon nursery stock
  • Species chosen for Washington County soil and climate
  • Planted at grade with the root flare exposed
  • Circling roots corrected before backfill
  • Staking, mulch ring and initial watering included
  • Follow up watering guidance for the first growing season

Signs To Watch For

Good Reasons to Plant Now

Planting is easiest to justify before you need the shade, not after.

  • A removal left a gap in the canopy
  • New construction with a bare, unshaded yard
  • West facing walls and windows taking full afternoon sun
  • A pasture or acreage that needs a windbreak
  • Screening wanted along a property line
  • Replacing a short lived species with something durable
  • Storm losses that thinned an established stand
  • Succession planting under aging heritage trees

Cost

What Planting Costs

The tree itself is usually the biggest part of the cost, and it scales sharply with container size.

  • Container size: 15, 30, 45, 65 or 100 gallon
  • Species and current nursery availability
  • Number of trees in the same installation
  • Access for equipment to reach each planting spot
  • Soil conditions and digging difficulty
  • Staking, mulch and any irrigation work

Tree Planting Questions

  • Fall through late winter. Roots get months to establish before the first Texas summer, which is what a new tree is really up against.
