Tree planting

Delivered, planted, staked, mulched. Then we come back.

Every tree we plant comes with Year One care included in the price, not sold on top of it: follow-up visits, deep root feeding and structural pruning. Pick the tree on our Columbia lot, or tell us the spot and Matt picks it with you. Delivery and planting within about 45 miles of Columbia.

What planted means

One price. Everything done right.

Planted means we deliver, plant, stake, mulch and feed the tree, then come back through Year One. Every tree in the catalog shows both prices, off the lot and planted, so you can see exactly what the planting adds.

  • Delivered and planted by the crew
  • Staked and mulched on day one
  • Follow-up visits through Year One
  • Deep root feeding
  • Structural pruning as needed
  • If the tree fails to thrive, no cost replacement

The right size

Bigger is not always better. Established is.

For most yards the sweet spot is a 15 to 20 gallon container tree, about 1 inch caliper and 8 to 12 feet tall. It looks like a tree on day one, establishes fast and performs for the long term, at about $400 installed on average. A larger tree takes longer to recover from transplanting.

Price varies slightly by species. Fruit and ornamentals run from 3 gallon up to 45 gallon, and we plant everything from mass plantings to large single-tree installs.

Why us

Not selling trees. Planning for decades.

A Master Arborist picks with you

Matt matches the species to your soil, sun and spot, then the crew plants it his way.

Year One is included

Follow-up visits, deep root feeding and structural pruning, in the price of planting.

Care you can extend

Year Two at 20% of the planted cost, Year Three at 15%. The same care continued, not just a replacement tree.

Grown here

The trees are on our Columbia lot, so you can see the actual tree before it goes in the ground.
