Municipal Tree Planting

What This Service Involves

Successful municipal planting starts with species selection matched to soil, exposure, overhead clearance, and your approved street-tree list. Our crews source nursery stock to specification, install with proper soil preparation and staking, and mulch each tree to promote establishment. Utility locates and clearance checks are completed before digging to protect buried and overhead infrastructure. Establishment watering and monitoring can be added so young trees survive their critical first seasons.
