Tree Planting

Our Area of Expertise

From small ornamental specimens to large-scale replanting schemes, we provide a comprehensive tree planting service tailored to your site, objectives and long-term landscape vision. Whether you’re replacing a removed tree, enhancing a garden space or delivering a wider planting programme as part of development or conservation work, we ensure each tree is selected and planted with precision and care.

Our process begins with a detailed assessment of site conditions, including soil type, drainage, exposure, available space and the surrounding environment. We then recommend suitable species and cultivars that will thrive in the location, considering future size, growth characteristics, maintenance requirements and long-term structural health. This ensures the right tree is planted in the right place, reducing future risk and maximising ecological and aesthetic value.

We follow industry best practice for planting techniques—ensuring correct planting depth, proper soil preparation, and the appropriate use of stakes, anchors and protective guards where required. Our team can also incorporate species mixes that support local biodiversity, pollinator value and climate resilience, helping to create landscapes that are both sustainable and future-ready.

To support successful establishment, we offer optional maintenance plans covering watering, mulching, formative pruning and health monitoring during the critical early years. This proactive aftercare significantly improves survival rates and sets young trees on the path to healthy, stable growth.

Whether part of a new landscape design, a planning requirement, or an environmental enhancement scheme, our tree planting service provides expert guidance and long-lasting results that contribute positively to the local ecosystem.

If your tree is protected by a Tree Preservation Order (TPO) or in a Conservation Area, permission is required. We can check this for you and help with the application if needed.
