Putting new trees in your yard to enjoy is a great experience and one that should be taken seriously. Trees, whether they are shade, ornamental, fruit, or just ground cover, can be expensive, and if you plant them wrong, they can die rapidly or just not grow the way they are supposed to.

Spring is the best time of year to plant a new tree so it has plenty of time to establish a root system before the chills of fall and winter come around, so get your landscape services company to your home to help you plant those new trees you just bought. Don't plant your trees on your own, invest in them by hiring a professional. Here are just a few reasons why.

Your trees are likely to be planted in the best areas for them

A landscape services specialist will know how large you can expect your trees to get and will be able to space and properly plant them for you according to their future size. You don't want to have to cut down or relocate a tree later due to planting it in the wrong spot in the first place, so at least hire your landscape services specialist to show you where your trees should be planted.

Your trees are likely to survive their first winter

If you damage the root ball on a tree, don't plant the tree deep enough, or fail to stake a younger, thinner tree properly when it's first planted, it can be less likely to survive its first winter. You don't want to waste time and money on trees that might not thrive, so hire professionals to plant your trees for you. Your landscape services specialist will dig the holes wide and deep enough for your trees, then stake them so they grow straight and tall.

Your trees have a caretaker for life

Your landscape services professional can not only be the one who plants your trees, they can be the one who cares for your trees when they need some extra TLC or pruning down the line. If you have a landscape services specialist already, you can be more likely to give them a call when your new trees are in need of some care. You may even be able to get assistance over the phone since your landscape services specialist will already know about your trees and what they might need.

Costs to plant a tree vary depending on where you live and how long the job takes. Get a quote from your landscape services company for tree planting before you buy any trees so you stay within any budget you have.
