Tree Planting
I want to plant a tree (or many), now what?
Whether you're looking to replace a tree or adding new trees to your landscape, the Certified Arborists at Colonial Tree Service are here to help.
Can't I just hire an landscaper? Great question! While landscapers may have experience planting trees as part of their overall landscaping services, they are not experts in the care and maintenance of trees. This often leads to undesirable outcomes including overcrowding, disease, girdling roots, poor growth, and even premature death. By hiring an arborist, you can ensure your trees are selected and planted correctly and receive the proper care to promote healthy growth and long-term survival.

Arborists are better equipped to plant your trees
Expertise: Arborists are specifically trained and experienced in the care and maintenance of trees, including planting and transplanting. They can ensure proper tree selection and siting by taking into consideration existing soil conditions and existing trees and shrubs in order to compliment and enhance your existing landscape. Our arborists understand and employ proper installation methods key to healthy establishment and future tree vitality.

Proper techniques: Arborists are familiar with proper planting techniques, such as proper soil preparation, stake placement, and mulching, to ensure the best possible growing conditions for the tree. This can increase the chances of the tree surviving and thriving in its new location.
Equipment: Arborists have access to specialized equipment, such as heavy-duty digging and plant material handling equipment that can make the planting process easier and more efficient. They also have the skills and experience to use this equipment safely and effectively.
Future care: An arborist can provide advice and recommendations on future tree care and maintenance, helping to ensure that the tree continues to grow and thrive over time.
Safety: Planting trees can be a physically demanding and potentially dangerous task, especially for larger trees or those planted in difficult or hard-to-reach locations. Arborists are trained in safe working practices and have the equipment and expertise to complete the job safely and efficiently.

Cleaner air: Trees absorb carbon dioxide and other pollutants, improving air quality and reducing the negative impact of climate change.
Increased shade: Trees provide shade, helping to reduce temperatures in urban areas, making outdoor spaces more comfortable and reducing the amount of energy needed for cooling.
Improved water quality: Trees help to filter pollutants from rainwater and reduce erosion, improving the quality of streams, rivers, and other water sources.
Wildlife habitat: Trees provide habitat and food for many species of wildlife, including birds, insects, and small mammals.
Biodiversity: Planting a variety of trees can help to maintain biodiversity, preserving different species and the important ecosystem services they provide.
Mental and physical health benefits: Spending time in green spaces, such as parks and forests, has been shown to reduce stress, improve mood, and enhance physical health.
Property value: Well-maintained trees can increase property values, making communities more attractive places to live and work.
Soil conservation: Trees help to prevent soil erosion, maintaining the health and fertility of the soil and improving the stability of slopes and hillsides.
Climate regulation: Trees play a crucial role in regulating the Earth's climate by absorbing and storing carbon, and producing oxygen through photosynthesis.
Aesthetic value: Trees add beauty and visual interest to the landscape, making communities more attractive and enhancing the overall quality of life.
