Adds immediate canopy, scale, and visual weight to open properties.
SERVICE OVERVIEW
What's covered
A premium service for larger, heavier, instant-impact trees, where sourcing, delivery, access, and root-ball handling are as much of the work as the planting itself.
Fits estate entrances, open lawns, high-visibility yards, farms, and commercial frontage.
Reduces the waiting period compared with starting from a smaller tree.
Requires better planning for access, staging, root-ball handling, and aftercare.
PROCESS
How the planting work is planned
Size and site review
We review desired impact, tree size, access, staging, delivery route, and the finished planting location before scheduling.
Sourcing and delivery planning
Specimen trees need sourcing and delivery planning that matches the site and the installation sequence.
Root-ball handling
Large root balls need careful handling, correct depth, clean backfill, mulch, and staking decisions based on conditions.
Aftercare expectations
Large trees need clear watering expectations after installation, especially during warm, dry, or windy periods.
PROJECT DETAILS
What matters before planting day
Scale and root-ball planning
Specimen trees bring immediate presence, but their size and weight shape every decision before planting day.
Large trees require more than a hole
Large tree planting is part planting and part logistics. The delivery route, truck access, gate width, slope, turf conditions, overhead lines, root-ball size, and equipment access all get planned before the tree is set.
Instant shade and estate appeal
Large trees can quickly change the feel of an open lawn, entrance, or high-visibility property area.

SCOPE DECISIONS
What to settle before the estimate
Access and staging
Large-tree planning starts with the route from delivery to planting location, including gate width, slopes, lawn firmness, overhead lines, and room for equipment.
Size vs. stress
Bigger trees provide faster impact, but they also increase delivery, handling, watering, and transplant-stress risk. The best size balances visual payoff with site reality.
Aftercare commitment
Specimen trees need clear watering and monitoring after installation. A large tree without an establishment plan is a higher-risk investment.
FAQ
Common Questions
How large of a tree can you plant?
That depends on species, root-ball size, access, delivery logistics, and the installation site. Photos and access notes help set realistic expectations before scheduling.
Do large trees need special equipment?
Often, yes. Larger root balls and heavier trees usually need equipment for handling, lifting, and placement, plus a clear delivery route and staging area on site.
How much does large tree planting cost?
Large tree planting is priced per project because cost depends on the tree, its size, sourcing, delivery, access, and site conditions. We give a clear estimate after reviewing the property and goals.
What affects the price of large tree installation?
Tree species and size, root-ball weight, sourcing and delivery distance, equipment and access needs, site conditions, and the number of trees all affect large tree installation pricing.
Do you source mature trees?
Yes. We can source nursery-grown specimen and mature trees and coordinate delivery and installation around site access.
Do large trees have a warranty?
We offer a 1-year limited plant warranty when the provided watering guide is followed. Large trees especially depend on consistent watering through establishment.
How often should a large newly planted tree be watered?
Large newly planted trees need consistent, deep watering during establishment, with extra attention in warm, dry, or windy periods. We explain the watering schedule before we leave the site.
