Tree & Shrub Planting Options We Offer

Species chosen for your yard's sun exposure, soil, and how much space they'll need at maturity.

Ornamental Shrub Planting

Firebush, Simpson's Stopper, and Croton planted for color, structure, and low water needs once established.

Shade Tree Planting

Live oaks and other wind-tolerant shade trees planted with proper clearance from the house and utility lines.

Privacy Hedge Installation

Dense, fast-growing hedge rows spaced correctly for full coverage without overcrowding roots.

Our Planting Process

Most tree and shrub deaths trace back to planting too deep or skipping mulch. We don't cut those corners.

  • ✓
    Site and soil check — sun exposure, drainage, and soil type reviewed before species selection.
  • ✓
    Correct planting depth — root flare set at grade, not buried, to prevent rot.
  • ✓
    Mulch ring — applied around the base to hold moisture and block weeds.
  • ✓
    Staking when needed — for larger trees until roots establish.

Tree & Shrub Planting FAQs

What's the best time of year to plant trees and shrubs in Florida? ▼
Fall through early spring is ideal since cooler temperatures reduce transplant stress, but we plant year-round with the right watering schedule.
How far should a tree be planted from my house? ▼
It depends on the mature canopy and root spread of the species, but most shade trees need at least 15-20 feet of clearance from the foundation.
Do you recommend hurricane-resistant trees? ▼
Yes. Live oaks and other wind-firm species hold up far better in storms than fast-growing, weak-wood trees, and we can guide species selection with that in mind.
How much watering do new trees and shrubs need? ▼
New plantings typically need watering several times a week for the first month or two while roots establish, then we help you scale back to normal irrigation.
Do you guarantee the plants you install? ▼
We stand behind proper installation. Plant health after that depends on watering and care, which we'll walk you through at planting.
