The Secret to Tree Placement

Assess the environmental conditions of your yard before selecting tree planting locations. Consider factors such as sunlight exposure, soil quality, drainage patterns, and proximity to buildings or other structures. Different tree species have specific requirements regarding sunlight and soil composition, so understanding these conditions is key to successful tree growth.

Designing Your Dream Yard

In regions with heavy snowfall during the winter, we consider the potential snow load on tree branches to prevent damage and ensure safety. Additionally, for areas near roads, we recommend salt-tolerant tree species to mitigate the effects of salt on tree health. Each species has unique characteristics and requirements, and our team can help you choose the right trees based on your preferences and environmental conditions.

Smart Planting to Protect Property

Another vital aspect to consider when deciding where to plant is if you are looking to create shade, enhance privacy, or add curb appeal to your yard. When selecting locations for planting trees, our landscape designers focus on creating a balance between providing shade and avoiding planting trees too close to foundations, water lines, power supplies, or concrete areas where root intrusion could occur.
