Tree planting & installation

Plant the right tree, the right way.

Locally grown trees we deliver and install ourselves — same day alongside a removal, or as a standalone planting. Then we keep them healthy for years, not just install day.

How we work

We don’t just plant — we know the growers.

A lot of “tree planting” is a box-store sapling dropped in a hole and forgotten. We work differently. The trees come from Central Florida growers we know personally — locally grown, locally sourced stock raised in the same climate and soils your yard has, so it transplants with far less shock than a tree trucked in from out of state. We pick the specimens, we deliver them, and our own crew puts them in the ground.

And we don’t plant and leave. The first year or two is when a young tree lives or dies, so every planting folds into our Plant Health Care program — establishment watering, monitoring for transplant stress, and deep-root feeding tuned to Florida’s sandy soils. Planting the tree is the easy part. Keeping it alive and thriving is the part we’re built around.

When planting is the right call

Same-day with a removal, or all on its own.

Whether a tree just came out or you simply want more trees, we’ll help you put the right ones in the right places.

Same-day with a removal

A tree just came out and you don’t want a bare spot. We replant where the old one stood on the same visit — one crew, one trip, one invoice. Pairs directly with our tree removal service.

“I just want trees planted”

No removal involved — you simply want to add trees. Shade where there’s none, privacy along a line, a flowering accent by the entry. Planting is a full standalone service, not just an add-on.

New build or fresh sod

A new home or a cleared lot is a blank canvas. We help you place the right trees from the start — before roots and canopies have to fight a layout that was never planned for them.

Filling out a landscape

You love your yard but it’s missing something — a specimen tree, an understory layer, a row of natives. We round out the planting with species that suit the site and the look you’re after.

Our process

From the right tree to a tree that lasts.

Anyone can dig a hole. The difference is choosing the right tree for the spot, sourcing it well, planting it correctly, and staying with it through the years that decide whether it makes it.

  1. 01

    Site walk & plan

    1 visit

    We look at your soil, sun, drainage, overhead lines, and how you actually use the space. Then we recommend species using right-tree-right-place principles — the right tree for the spot, not whatever happens to be on the truck. You get the plan before you commit.

  2. 02

    Source from local growers

    days

    We hand-pick healthy, locally grown specimens from Central Florida growers we know personally. Trees raised in our own climate and soils transplant with far less shock than stock trucked in from out of state — and we choose the actual trees, not a catalog number.

  3. 03

    Delivery & installation

    1 day

    Our own crew delivers and plants. Hole dug to the right width, tree set at the proper depth (planted high for FL drainage), backfilled with native soil, mulched, and staked only where it’s actually needed. The same people who chose the tree are the ones who put it in the ground.

  4. 04

    Establishment & years of care

    ongoing

    This is where young trees live or die — so we stay involved. Establishment watering guidance, monitoring for transplant stress, deep-root feeding for sandy soils, and pest scouting, folded into our Plant Health Care program for years, not just install day.

What we’ll plant

A palette as wide as Central Florida allows.

Central Florida’s near year-round growing season opens up a wide, interesting range — from the foundational natives that anchor a landscape to the more delicate ornamentals that finish it. We’ll help you adapt your landscape as much as the environment around you will allow:

Florida-native foundation

Live oak, southern magnolia, bald cypress, red maple, dahoon holly, sabal palm. Tough, well-adapted, low-maintenance once established — the backbone of a resilient Central Florida landscape.

Flowering & accent trees

Crape myrtle, redbud, fringe tree, and other ornamentals that earn their keep with bloom and form. A little more attention than a native oak, and worth it in the right spot.

Shade & canopy trees

The trees that change how a property feels — cooling a west wall, sheltering a patio, framing a drive. We size the mature canopy and root spread to the space before we plant.

Palms, placed right

Sabal palmetto and other well-suited palms for the look many Florida landscapes want — chosen for the site and spaced for the canopy they’ll actually grow into.

Why plant with us

Three things that set our planting apart.

The difference between a tree that struggles and a tree that thrives usually comes down to where it’s from, when it goes in, and what happens after.

Locally grown, locally sourced

We know the growers. Trees raised in Central Florida’s climate and soils — Apopka is the “Indoor Foliage Capital” for a reason — transplant with less shock and establish faster than stock shipped in from out of state.

A near year-round season

Central Florida’s growing season runs almost all year, which opens up a wider, more interesting plant palette and a far longer planting window than up north. The cooler, drier months are the sweet spot — we’ll tell you the ideal time for your species.

We plant — and maintain

Most companies plant and leave. We don’t. New trees fold into our Plant Health Care program for years afterward, because getting a tree established is the part that actually decides whether it makes it.

Right tree, right place

The principle behind every recommendation.

The most common planting mistake isn’t a bad tree — it’s a good tree in the wrong spot. A canopy that will hit the power lines in ten years. Roots crowding a foundation. A sun-lover planted in shade. Right-tree-right-place means matching the species to your soil, sun, drainage, overhead lines, and the room the mature canopy and roots will actually need — so you’re not fighting the site for the next thirty years.

It also pairs naturally with a removal. If a tree is coming out, the same site walk is the perfect moment to plan what goes back in — ask us about replanting on your tree removal visit.

Cities we serve

We deliver and install trees from our Apopka, FL base across the greater Orlando area:

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you plant a tree the same day you remove one — or do I have to book planting separately?

Either works. Most of our planting happens the same day as a removal — the crew, equipment, and access are already on site, so a fresh tree goes in where the old one came out and you only pay for one visit. But planting is also a standalone service: plenty of customers call us simply because they want trees added to their landscape, with no removal involved at all. Same-visit planting after a removal typically runs $250–$1,200 per tree installed (size and species dependent); a standalone planting day is quoted on its own based on tree count, sizes, and access.

Where do the trees come from — do you grow them or buy them from a big-box store?

Neither a warehouse pallet nor a mystery shipment. We source locally grown, locally sourced trees from Central Florida growers we personally know — Apopka is the “Indoor Foliage Capital,” and this region is one of the best places in the country to source healthy nursery stock. Because the trees are grown in our climate and soils, they transplant with far less shock than stock trucked in from out of state. We pick the specimens, we deliver them, and our own crew installs them — so the same people who choose the tree are the ones who plant it correctly.

What should I plant — native species or ornamentals? What actually thrives in Central Florida?

Both have a place, and we help you adapt your landscape as much as the environment around you will allow. Florida-native species are the foundation — live oak, southern magnolia, bald cypress, red maple, dahoon holly, and sabal palm are tough, well-adapted, and low-maintenance once established. From there you can layer in more delicate ornamentals — flowering and accent trees that reward a little extra care. Every recommendation follows right-tree-right-place: we match the species to your soil, sun, drainage, overhead lines, and how much room the mature canopy and roots will actually need, so you’re not fighting the site for the next thirty years.

Do you just plant the tree and leave, or do you take care of it afterward?

We stay involved. The first year or two after planting is when a young tree lives or dies, so we don’t plant and walk away. New plantings fold directly into our Plant Health Care program — establishment watering guidance, monitoring for transplant stress, deep-root fertilization tuned to Florida’s sandy soils, and pest and disease scouting — for years afterward, not just the install day. Planting the tree is the easy part; getting it established and keeping it healthy is the part most companies skip, and it’s the part we’re built around.

When is the best time of year to plant a tree in Central Florida?

Central Florida’s growing season runs nearly year-round, so the planting window is far wider here than up north — one of the real advantages of this climate. That said, the sweet spot for most trees is the cooler, drier months from roughly October through March: the tree can settle its roots without the heat and water stress of peak summer, and the natural rains of the following wet season help it establish. We do plant in summer when it makes sense (especially same-day with a removal), with closer attention to irrigation while the tree takes hold. We’ll tell you the ideal window for your specific species rather than rush a planting that would do better a few weeks later.
