Kind and professional.

I cannot recommend Higher Ground Tree Care highly enough. They were kind and professional in every encounter. The price was competitive, and the whole team was friendly, careful, respectful of our property and really kind to my very curious children. They paid close attention whenever we were outside watching. I never heard a single curse word. Thank you very, very much.

Essential Questions to Consider Before Planting Trees 

Before starting your tree-planting journey, ask yourself these important questions:

What are your goals for planting trees (shade, energy savings, privacy, curb appeal, something else)? 

What is the soil type and drainage in your planting area? 

How much sunlight does the planting site receive? 

Are there any overhead or underground utilities to consider that could limit tree selection? 

What is the mature size of the tree species you're considering? 

Do you live in an HOA with tree planting restrictions or guidelines?

Tree Planting FAQs

We plant trees of all sizes, from saplings to large, mature specimens. Our specialized equipment allows us to handle bigger trees that most homeowners can't plant on their own. 

Growth rates vary by species and conditions, but most trees show noticeable growth within the first full growing season after planting. Usually, newly transplanted trees spend the majority of their energy to developing a strong root system rather than growing new branches or foliage (this is a good thing) 

Watering needs vary based on tree species, size, and weather conditions. Generally, new trees need deep, regular watering for the first two years. We provide detailed care instructions for each planted tree. 

While it's possible to plant trees year-round, we recommend spring and fall for optimal results. These seasons provide the best conditions for root establishment. It also takes time to source the best possible trees, so always plan ahead when it comes time to plant new trees in your landscape.
