ABOUT TREE PLANTING

attention to detail and the knowledge of an experienced arborist are critical to your new tree’s longevity.

There is a long list of defects that come with poor planting practice, and many of them don’t show up for years down the road and often after anything can be done about them. This is why attention to detail and the knowledge of an experienced arborist are critical to your tree’s longevity.

We will help you select the right tree for the location, source high-quality stock, and install it in accordance with industry best practice. Once the tree is in the ground, after-care instructions will be provided to ensure your tree's best start.

CLIENT FEEDBACK

“Matt is very responsive. I had him in the fall (2025) for a major thinning out of the property as well as chipping all the branches along the cottage road. Have had several people over the years. So glad that I came across Matt. Meeting him in a week for another project. You won’t be disappointed.”
— BRIAN GOODING
"Had Matt come and reshape an old apple tree that had dead areas and was damaged from the storm. Did a FANTASTIC job!! Took out huge sections and now it looks like a new tree! Reasonably priced, on time and barely a twig left behind. Highly recommend him!"
— MARILYNN ROCH
