Landscape and planting Plans
Making good choices and careful planning saves you time and money. We’ll help you put together a landscaping plan and select trees that will work well for the space and your budget.
species selection
We’ll help you select the tree species that grow well together and complement each other in the space you have. Planting trees is a long game, and we’ll help you work out what types and spacings will flourish in the years to come. From natives to exotics, from colour to flower and fruit to scent getting the best mix for your planting plan is important to us.
landscaping plans
We’ll work with you to develop a landscaping plan as part of your tree planting project. Street trees are vital to enhance the urban landscape, and ensuring that such trees thrive is our mission.
Look at the condition and layout of the planting area
Do a survey of your site and draw up a scaled plan
Determine the site orientation, sunshine, wind, and frost factors
Do a soil type assessment, pH, compaction, nutrients and moisture
Prepare a visual assessment with photos, sketches, and drawings so you can see a before/after image of your site.
Recommend tree and plant selection, including site suitability, native or non-native, colour, flowering and ecological value, edible plants and fruit, scale, texture, spacing, environmental conditions
Planting and care schedule
Along with planting plans and species selection advice, you’ll also get advice about what time of year to plant species, planting for healthy root systems, and how to prune and care for your trees as they grow.
