Understanding How a Certified Master Tree Contractor Plants a Tree
Trees are a great addition to any plot of land and can greatly increase curb appeal in any home. Planting a tree may seem as simple as digging a hole and dropping it in, but a Master Arborist like the expert in the featured video knows that much more care needs to be taken. Follow along to see how an expert plants a tree.
First, the correct selection needs to be made. This tree should be immature and appear healthy enough to take root and thrive in a new environment.
This tree can be chosen at the recommendation of the local tree contractor, or with the preference of the homeowner in mind.
Next, the hole needs to be dug out. The opening is made slightly wider than the tree's pot to ensure a good fit. The expert then cuts open the tree pot to expose the roots and allow the tree to take well.
The hole should be filled in with new, high-quality topsoil to promote proper water intake and to prevent shifting within the space. A layer of mulch is recommended around the tree to further increase water uptake.
Depending on the tree, supports may be installed to promote growth and stability. A professional tree contractor will know all these facts and will provide you with a well-planted tree that will bring happiness for years to come.
