The Best Time to Plant A Tree Was 20 Years Ago. The Next Best Time is Today.
How it Works
Three steps. No guesswork. No commitment before you’re ready.
Choose with Confidence
Tell us your vision — sun, soil, space, and style. We match you with the species that will actually thrive in your specific yard, not just look good at the nursery.
PLANTED BY ARBORISTS
Our certified arborists handle every install — proper depth, root flare exposed, right backfill, no shortcuts. Done the way it’s supposed to be done.
Want Extra Peace of Mind?
Ask about the Rooted Right Program — our optional post-plant care system that protects your investment through the first three years with scheduled visits, early problem detection, and a replacement warranty.

Our Planting Services
Right Plant, Right Place
Most planting mistakes happen before anyone picks up a shovel — because the wrong plant went in. Our arborists assess your specific yard: your soil, sun, moisture, and long-term vision. Then we match you with species that will actually thrive there — and tell you which popular choices to avoid for your site.
Container & Ball-and-Burlap Installation
A beautiful plant can fail within years if it’s installed wrong. We handle every detail — proper depth, root flare exposed, right backfill, structural staking only when necessary — so what goes in the ground has every chance to grow into something lasting. Built on 50+ years of doing this the right way.
Missouri Gravel Bed Bare Root Trees
Over the past four years, our arborists have planted nearly 1,000 specially grown bare root trees using the Missouri Gravel Bed method — an innovative approach that increases a tree’s root system by more than 500% in a single growing season. The results speak for themselves:
- 30-50% lower installation cost than traditional B&B trees
- Dramatically reduced transplant shock
- New growth immediately after installation — not 2-5 years later
- Denser, healthier root system from day one
- Professional root and crown pruning completed prior to installation
If a Missouri Gravel Bed tree is the right option for your project, we’ll tell you. If it isn’t, we’ll tell you that too.
The Rooted Right Program
Recommended Post-Plant Service
Your tree is most vulnerable in the first three years after planting. The Rooted Right Program pairs you with an arborist who walks alongside your investment through that critical window — monitoring, maintaining, and making sure it establishes the way it should.
Priced per tree. Available at the time of your install.
Customized watering plan
Scheduled visits during the critical first three years
Professional mulch refresh and root zone inspection
Early detection of pest, disease, or stress issues
Structural pruning at the right developmental stage
Replacement warranty — if a Rooted Right tree doesn’t establish, we make it right.
Most Trees Die Because of How They Were Planted
Here’s the hard truth: most trees and shrubs don’t fail because of bad weather or bad luck. They fail because of decisions made on planting day — a hole dug too deep, the wrong species for the spot, no one checking in when it mattered most. By the time you notice something’s wrong, it’s usually too late to fix it. That’s what we’re here to prevent.
Planted too deep — the tree slowly suffocates underground and you won’t see it coming
Wrong plant for your yard — it struggles from day one and never really takes off
No one watching it — small problems become expensive ones when nobody catches them early
Money wasted — a $500–$2,000 investment that dies within a few years of planting

Let's Get Started
Your trees are too valuable — and the risks too real — to leave in the hands of anyone less than certified. Let’s talk about what your landscape needs.
