Why You Should Have an ArborActive Arborist Plant Your New Trees
At ArborActive, we understand that planting a tree is more than just digging a hole and placing a sapling into the ground. It’s a meticulous process that involves careful planning, expert knowledge, and ongoing care to ensure the tree thrives in its new environment. Recently, our team spent the day planting new trees in Thompson, and we’d like to share why having an ArborActive arborist plant your new trees is the best decision you can make for your landscape.
1. Species Selection
The first step in successful tree planting is identifying a species and variety suitable for the planting location. Our arborists have the expertise to select trees that will not only survive but flourish in your specific environment. This includes considering factors like soil type, sunlight, and local climate conditions.
2. Sourcing Quality Nursery Stock
We source only the highest quality nursery stock to ensure that the trees we plant are healthy and robust from the start. This step is crucial as it sets the foundation for the tree’s future growth and development.
3. Professional Delivery and Planting
Our team handles the entire process of loading and delivering the trees to your location. Once there, we inspect and prepare the root ball and root collar, ensuring they are in the best possible condition for planting.
4. Proper Planting Techniques
Planting at the proper depth is essential to prevent vascular problems later in the tree’s life. Our arborists are trained to plant trees at the correct depth, ensuring that the roots have the best chance to establish themselves.
5. Mulching
We dress the area around the tree with mulch to conserve soil moisture and lower soil temperature. Mulch also breaks down over time and contributes to the soil’s organic matter, providing additional nutrients to the tree.
6. Pruning
Pruning is an important part of tree care. Our arborists prune newly planted trees to remove deadwood and make minor structural improvements, setting the stage for healthy growth.
7. Irrigation Plan
Newly planted trees need consistent moisture, especially during the first growing season. We implement an irrigation plan to keep the roots moist and promote strong root development.
8. Ongoing Monitoring
Planting a tree is just the beginning. Our arborists monitor the trees throughout the growing season, managing pests and addressing environmental issues that may arise. This ongoing care ensures that your trees remain healthy and vibrant.
