Overview

What tree & shrub planting involves

Most young trees that fail around Austin didn't die of bad luck — they were the wrong species for the site, planted too deep, or set in a hole that never let the roots out into native soil. We help you pick varieties that handle Central Texas heat, alkaline limestone soils and long dry spells, then plant them properly: the root flare at grade, the hole wide rather than deep, and a mulch ring that holds moisture without smothering the trunk. You get a first-season watering schedule with every planting.

What's Included

Every job covers these

  • Species selection matched to your soil, sun and drainage
  • Native and heat-adapted shade trees, ornamentals and evergreens
  • Correct planting depth with the root flare left at grade
  • Soil amendment and wide-hole preparation for limestone lots
  • Mulch ring installation and initial deep watering
  • Written first-season watering and care schedule
Our Process

Four steps, start to finish

01

Site & Soil Review

We check sun, drainage, utilities and mature spread before recommending a single species.

02

Species Recommendation

You get options that suit the spot and the look you want, with honest notes on growth rate and mess.

03

Proper Installation

Wide hole, flare at grade, backfilled with native soil, staked only when the site actually calls for it.

04

Mulch & Care Plan

We mulch, water in deeply, and leave you a schedule for getting the tree through its first summer.

Why It Matters

The difference a careful job makes

Anyone can put a saw through a branch. What separates a good job from a cheap one shows up in the months afterward — in how the tree heals, how the yard looks, and whether you're calling someone back out.

Done Once, Properly

Clean cuts at the branch collar, posts set to depth, wood rigged rather than dropped. The kind of work you don't have to revisit.

Your Property Protected

We mat, pad and stage before anything comes down. Roofs, fences, beds and driveways all look the same when we leave as when we arrived.

Nothing Left Behind

Brush chipped, logs loaded, yard raked, drive blown down. Cleanup is in the price — never an add-on line at the end.

Straight Answers on Timing

We tell you when we can start and how long it takes, then we show up. No vague windows and no chasing us for updates.

Our Standard

Habits, not shortcuts

These are the things we do on every job whether anyone's watching or not. They're the reason the work holds up.

Clear Communication

Plain answers, written scope, no surprises once work begins.

Planned Before Cut

Lean, decay, drop zone and access all assessed before a saw starts.

Right Gear for the Site

Climbing and rigging on tight lots; equipment only where it fits safely.

Sterilised on Oaks

Tools disinfected between oaks and fresh cuts painted — standard, not an upsell.

Walkthrough at the End

We finish the job with you, on site, before we call it done.
