Tree & Shrub Planting Services
We make tree and shrub planting easy. Simply schedule an installation date, mark your desired location with our provided plant flags, and be sure the name of the plant is on each flag.
Our associate will help you select your plants and guide you through our simple process. You’ll receive a planting flag for each plant, so it’s easy to indicate where you want them planted. Our planting coordinator will contact you to schedule your planting, and contact Miss Dig to mark the area. Allow time for scheduling. The planting fee includes labor for installation. Delivery is extra. See store for details.
Soil, starter fertilizer and mulch is not included. We will help you determine the correct amount of these items for your plant’s success. Tree staking is extra (see planting fees for additional information.)

Planting Checklist
To ensure the success of your new trees and shrubs, we ask that you review this pre-installation checklist. If you have any questions, please call us at 800-335-GROW.
- Are drainage, climate, and exposure (sun, shade & wind) conditions appropriate for the plants being installed? If you’re unsure, please ask us for advice.
- Is the area clear of all stumps, ground cover, and debris?
- Clearly mark all known low-voltage lighting, lamp post, dog fence and irrigation lines if they’re in the planting area.
- Have you staked the area to clearly identify where the plants go? Write the name of each plant on each stake.
- Is the planting area easy to find? Are all gates unlocked? Can the area be reached with a wheelbarrow?
- Do you have a dog? Make sure to notify us, if so.
New Tree & Shrub Care
Watering
After planting, trees and shrubs should be watered thoroughly, then water when soil is dry to the touch – about 1.5-inches or knuckle deep – usually every 2 days. Check regularly and only water when necessary. Too much water or lack of water are top reasons plants fail to grow. Water more frequently during long periods of hot and dry weather. Try to water before noon during warm weather. It might not be necessary to water when a week’s rainfall is at least 1-inch.
If plants are in clay soil, be sure they do not sit in water.
To encourage a deep root system, let a slow trickle of water soak into the soil at the plant base for 10 to 15 min.
Mulch
Keep the soil cultivated and grass-free around trees, or mulch with 1 to 2-inch of organic material such as pine, hardwood, cedar or cypress bark; or soil conditioner.
Fertilizing
We recommend Bio-tone Plant Starter at planting time, which should be sufficient for the first year.
Protection
Trunk-wrap young trees the first winter season to prevent sun-scald. Remove wrap in warm weather. Evergreens
Sod & Soil Removal
We will remove an area large enough to accommodate the root ball of the plant. Creating beds and berms is not included. Whenever possible, we will incorporate excavated soil into the landscape, however, off-site removal may incur disposal fees.
Plant Removal
The planting area needs to be ready to plant in, with the exception of sod removal. Brush and other debris must be removed prior to the scheduled planting day.
Small shrubs may be removed at the time of planting for a fee: $75 per person/per hour plus $100 for off-site disposal. (One hour minimum charge. Advanced planning and payment for removals is required.)
100% Satisfaction Guarantee
Planting price includes one-time replacement of plants and re-planting of equal or lesser value with purchase of soil amendments.
