Tree Planting

We can supply and plant trees to suit your requirements, whether you need something small or large, we offer the highest level of expertise and advice and will help give you options and the correct information to ensure a happy tree and happy customer for the long term.

There are a number of considerations we can help you assess including:

 

  • Potential height and spread
  • Annual growth
  • Density of foliage
  • Water demand
  • Nutrient requirements
  • Tolerance to sun or shade
  • Wind tolerance
  • Wildlife benefits birds, bats snails insects
  • Wildlife drawbacks bird mess squirrels
  • Type and season of leaf fall or detritus

 

Typical root type & suitability for planting near buildings or structures.

There is lots to think about and we will help eliminate the unsuitable.

We use both visible and hidden support systems for the trees first 2-3 years and will tailor the system to your requirements. The traditional “Tree Stake” where the tree is supported by a post by a tree tie is the most cost effective method and is normally adequate for trees up to 3m tall in most situations. The hidden system is suitable for larger trees up to 8m and where a stake may be deemed as not in keeping with the design. This system anchors the tree to the ground by cables driven deep into the surrounding soil.

 

Soil is a major consideration when planting and while often the plants and trees in the immediate area will give clues to soil type, structure and condition we can carry out simple tests to further indicate the need for soil treatment or eliminate tree species which may not thrive in the conditions present.

 

Top dressing is the top layer you cover the soil with, again this can make a significant impact on the progress your newly planted tree makes as it can reduce the water loss and competition with weeds or grass. We will give recommendations on the best method for each tree as a part of the design process.

 

All of our tree stock is sourced from reputable UK nurseries with whom we have long standing working relationships, this gives you the peace of mind that having picked the right species, an excellent quality example of the species will be supplied.

 

After care must be considered including a watering and feeding regime that you or we can implement ensuring that your new tree gets the best possible start in its new home. In some cases an irrigation system is the most efficient method for watering and is particularly popular with customers who are not always able to find the time to water each plant individually.

 

As the Leicestershire tree experts we look forward to helping you design and plant a scheme to fit your lifestyle and garden.
