Turf Tender’s Tree & Shrub Planting Process

Our team of highly trained specialists is guaranteed to plant your tree the right way, setting you up for years of safe and successful growth. From finding the correct tree for your situation to giving you the tools and information for prolonged care, Turf Tenders is there to guide you every step of the way.

 

Sourcing & Transportation

Everything starts by acquiring a healthy, locally-grown tree ideal for your landscape. We partner with reputable nurseries in Wisconsin to ensure our trees are suited to the local climate and soil conditions.

Once the trees are sourced, we carefully handle their transportation to ensure they arrive at your site in optimal condition. Our team uses specialized vehicles equipped with protective measures to minimize stress on the plants during transit.

 

Preparation & Installation

Before planting, our team prepares the site by assessing soil quality and drainage. We dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball but no deeper than the root ball itself so the roots can spread easily while avoiding waterlogging. After placing the tree, we backfill the hole with native soil mixed with organic compost to provide essential nutrients.

 

After-Planting Care Instructions

Once your tree is planted, we provide detailed care instructions, including watering schedules, mulching tips and pest management strategies. Regular follow-ups are scheduled to monitor growth and address any issues that may arise.

 

What Types of Trees and Shrubs are Right For You?

Choosing the right trees and shrubs depends on various factors such as soil type, sunlight exposure and aesthetic preferences.

Turf Tenders offers a range of options, including:

• Deciduous Trees: Maples, oaks and birches provide shade and seasonal beauty.
• Evergreen Trees: Pines and spruces offer year-round greenery.
• Flowering Shrubs: Azaleas and hydrangeas add color and attract pollinators.
• Native Plants: Native species thrive in Wisconsin's climate, promoting local biodiversity.

 

When Should I Plant Trees and Shrubs in Wisconsin?

The best time to plant trees and shrubs in Wisconsin is during the spring (April to June) or fall (September to October). This timing allows plants to establish roots before facing extreme temperatures. It's essential to avoid planting during the heat of summer or when the ground is frozen in winter.

 

3 Benefits of Proper Installation & Care

Investing in proper tree and shrub installation and care is essential for achieving your dream landscape. At Turf Tenders, we recognize planting is just the beginning.

 

1. Lawn Health

Correctly installed trees and shrubs improve lawn health by enhancing soil structure and nutrient cycling. Roots aerate the soil, allowing better water and nutrient penetration. Well-placed trees provide shade, reducing soil temperature and evaporation.

 

2. Biodiversity

A variety of trees and shrubs promotes biodiversity. Choosing native species supports local wildlife, including birds and pollinators. Native species help maintain ecological balance and improve soil health through diverse root structures.

 

3. Longevity

The longevity of your plants depends on proper installation and care. Well-planted trees develop strong root systems essential to resist environmental stresses. Regular maintenance, like pruning and monitoring for pests, reduces disease susceptibility. When you maximize longevity, you ensure a vibrant landscape for years to come.
