Planting a tree may seem like an easy, even wholesome, weekend project for homeowners. However, what appears simple frequently requires a surprising level of experience. From choosing the right species to ensuring proper placement and long-term health, tree planting is a job best left to professionals.
Here are just a few of the reasons why you should rely on a professional team when it comes to tree planting.
- Proper Selection: One of the most important aspects of successful tree planting is choosing the right tree for your property. At Doss Tree Service, we understand soil composition, climate conditions, and how various species grow over time. A tree that thrives in one yard may struggle or even perish in another due to minor environmental variations. We can evaluate these factors and suggest trees that will thrive for decades.
- Proper Planting Technique: Planting too deeply, injuring roots during installation, or failing to provide appropriate support can all slow a tree’s growth. Our team members are trained to treat root systems with care, dig holes that are the optimum size, and position the tree for maximum stability and nutrient absorption.
- Proper Preparation: Tree planting requires meticulous preparation. Trees planted too close to houses, driveways, or utility lines might cause significant damage in the future. Roots can cause problems with foundations and plumbing, and overhanging branches can be dangerous. We consider a tree’s mature size and development pattern, preventing long-term issues before they arise.
- Proper Maintenance: We offer tree care services to ensure that your tree is able to reach its fullest potential, as well as give you tips and tricks you can incorporate on your own.
