🛠️ Tree & Hedge Planting Methods

🌾 Trench Planting

Trench planting, commonly used for potted and root ball stock, offers several advantages that support healthy establishment. It enables thorough soil analysis and improvement, including nutrient enhancement and pH adjustment. The method also promotes better drainage and encourages strong root development, while ensuring consistent planting depth and spacing across the site.

🕳️ Bore Hole Planting

Ideal for bare root planting, this method offers minimal soil disturbance and allows for efficient installation across large volumes. It also helps reduce transplant shock, giving young roots the best chance to establish quickly and thrive.

🌿 Aftercare & Maintenance

Proper aftercare is vital in the early years to help trees establish well and thrive long-term. Our maintenance services cover key tasks such as inspecting and adjusting stakes and ties, pruning damaged or diseased branches, clearing competing vegetation from the base, and providing supplemental watering during dry spells—all designed to support healthy growth and structural stability.
