Tree planting in Greensboro — the right tree, planted to last
Anybody can dig a hole and drop a tree in it. Whether that tree is thriving in five years comes down to two things most people get wrong: picking the right species for the spot, and planting it properly. We handle both.
As ISA-certified arborists, we start with what you’re actually after — a privacy screen along the back line, shade over the patio, an ornamental for the front, or a replacement for a tree you lost. Then we match it to your site: soil, drainage, sun, overhead and underground lines, and how big the thing gets at maturity. The wrong tree in the wrong place is the most expensive tree you’ll ever plant, because you pay for it twice — once to put it in, once to take it out.
Then we plant it right, which is where most young trees are won or lost. Correct depth, exposed root flare, proper backfill, the right mulch ring — not a buried trunk in a glazed hole. Our equipment lets us set large balled-and-burlapped stock and privacy trees without tearing up the yard to get them in place. And we don’t just walk away: you’ll leave with a clear watering schedule for the first two years, the window that decides whether a tree establishes.

How it works
- 1
We talk through the goal
Privacy, shade, curb appeal, or replacing a tree you lost — we start with what you're trying to get, then match it to what your site can actually support.

We pick the right tree
A certified arborist factors in your soil, drainage, sun, overhead lines, and how big it gets before it's "the right tree." The wrong species is the most expensive tree you'll ever plant.

We plant it properly
Most tree failures trace back to bad planting — too deep, buried root flare, glazed holes. We plant at the right depth, backfill right, and mulch it correctly so the roots establish.

We set you up to keep it alive
Staking if it needs it, a clear watering schedule, and straight advice for the first two years — the window that decides whether a young tree makes it.
Tree Planting & Installation — Questions & Answers
What's the best time to plant trees in Greensboro?
Fall through early spring is ideal in our area — the roots establish while the top is dormant, so the tree isn't fighting summer heat its first season. That said, with proper planting and watering, we can plant container stock most of the year. Call 336-681-3972 and we'll advise for your specific tree.
How do I choose the right tree for my yard?
That's exactly what an arborist is for. The "right tree" depends on your soil, drainage, sun, space, overhead and underground lines, and how big it gets at maturity. We'll walk your site and recommend species that fit — instead of something that outgrows the spot in ten years.
Can you plant large or privacy trees?
Yes. We install everything from ornamentals to large balled-and-burlapped trees and privacy screens like arborvitae and Leyland cypress. Our equipment lets us place big, heavy stock without wrecking your yard getting it there.
Why did my last tree die?
Most often it was planted too deep or the root flare was buried, the hole drained poorly, or it didn't get watered through its first two summers. We plant to avoid those mistakes and tell you exactly how to water — the difference between a tree that takes and one that quietly declines.
Do you guarantee the trees you plant?
We plant them right and set you up to keep them alive, and we're glad to do follow-up checks. Specific warranty terms depend on the stock and the situation — we'll lay that out clearly in your quote.
