Planting is a decade-long decision
Species choice, root flare depth and soil condition decide whether a tree is thriving in year ten or being removed in year six. We decompact and amend the planting pit, set the flare at grade, mulch in a ring instead of a volcano, and skip girdling stakes wherever the stock can stand on its own.

Permit replacement planting compliance
Species, caliper, location and photographs documented to the ratio your municipal permit specified, so you can close out the file.
Soil & deep root fertilization
Compaction relief, amended backfill and injected deep-root feeding on a schedule matched to the season and the species.
