Tree Planting & Aftercare
Choosing the right tree, planting it properly, and looking after it.
Planting new trees — whether for screening, shade, ornament, fruit, or as replacement planting after a felled tree.
Includes species advice, sourcing, planting, staking, tying, and a watering schedule for the first growing season.
When you'd need it
- Adding screening or windbreaks
- Replacing a felled tree (often a TPO condition)
- Creating shade
- Wildlife planting
- Ornamental focal trees
- Orchards and fruit trees
How we approach it
The right tree for the spot — we'll talk through your soil, aspect, what you want the tree to do, and how big you want it to get. Then we source from local nurseries where possible. Planting is done properly: right depth, root flare exposed, proper staking, and a watering plan you can actually follow.
Common questions
What size tree should I plant?
Bigger isn't always better. Younger trees establish faster and catch up larger transplants within a few years. We'll recommend based on what you're trying to achieve.
When's the best time to plant?
Bare-root: November to March. Container-grown: most of the year, but autumn is ideal.
Do you offer aftercare?
Yes — we can build a maintenance visit into the quote for the first 1–2 years.
