Our Essential Plant Care Guide
We have carefully nurtured this plant throughout its early life, now we are entrusting it to you. By following our advice, your plant will continue to grow and thrive for many years to come.
Please follow these guidelines:
Choose the right plant for the right location, make sure your selected plant likes the amount of sun it will be exposed to and the amount of water it will receive.
- Proper planting is essential:
- Be sure to dig a hole 50% wider than the container or root ball, break up compacted soil
- Amend the planting site with compost as needed
- Loosen the roots of a containerized plant
- Plant an inch or two higher than ground level (even higher on pines and spruce)
- Be sure to remove all roping and loosen/cut away burlap from the trunk when necessary
- Gently soak newly installed plants to fill air pockets, use a root stimulator for faster root establishment
- Add mulch to the surface, this will help the plant retain moisture
Please do not allow new plants to dry out, monitor soil moisture at least once or twice a week. Some plants require more water than others (evergreens typically require less water than deciduous plants).
Our guarantee is valid only if these guidelines have been followed. If we determine that the plant has not been properly cared for, the guarantee is no longer valid. Don’t hesitate to call us for further assistance!

Stumps from a previously installed tree/shrub must be removed before installation (18”-20” down should be sufficient), please ensure that this is done before the planting date or a surcharge of $50 will be accessed. We do not provide a stump removal service. Please consider planting new trees at least 8-10’ away from a previously planted tree, this will benefit in the development of the new tree’s root system. We can refer you to a company that can remove the stump, but please inform them that we are going to be installing a tree in the same space so it must be ground out 18” at the very least.
