If you are lucky enough to have a backyard, you should definitely consider planting trees in it. Whether it is a deciduous tree with dramatic seasonal foliage or a hardy evergreen one that provides shade year-round, there are many benefits of planting trees in your outdoor space. Trees planted alongside the sunniest parts of the house can dramatically reduce the amount of solar gain the house receives during the hot months, reducing interior temperatures and the need for air conditioning. So yes, go ahead and choose the right species of trees to create the backyard oasis you’ve been daydreaming about for so long.
If you are new to this, know that there is much more to planting trees than simply digging a hole. You need to choose the best planting site, the right trees based on your climate, follow the specific planting instructions and make sure everything is done as it should be. However, if you are not sure whether you can handle this, you have way too many trees for planting and don’t want to risk failing to properly plant them, your best bet is to hire tree planting services. A reliable team of experts will ensure that your trees will survive and thrive as they have done this probably much more times than you have. As a result, you will save yourself the time and energy and will rest assured that the money you spent on buying the trees are a worthy investment.
A reliable tree planting service will evaluate your site to find the soil’s type, its pH/nutrient richness, the amount of light that gets to it, drainage, soil compaction, exposure, hardiness zone, and slope. After they have evaluated the site, the professionals will help you choose the tree species that will adapt best well to your location and will plant them. Many companies that offer tree planting services also provide a variety of other tree care services, including plant health care which is a preventive maintenance concept that keeps trees in good health, helping them to fight insects, diseases, and site problems.
When choosing a tree planting service, check for all the needed certifications and their insurance policy. Also, make sure you get more than one estimate and don’t always go for the lowest bid. Beware of individuals who go door to door offering bargains for performing tree work. Reputable companies are often too busy to solicit work in this manner. A reputable arborist will want to sign a contract with you. Make sure you read the contract carefully and feel free to ask any questions you may have so that you have a peace of mind knowing that everything will be taken care of perfectly.
