Planting or transplanting trees might seem like a straightforward task, but it involves more than just digging a hole and placing a tree in the ground. Trees are living organisms with complex root systems and specific needs that can greatly affect their long-term health and growth. Working with a certified arborist ensures that trees are planted or moved properly, giving them the best possible start in their new environment. At AZ Desert Tree Care, we provide expert tree planting services in the greater Phoenix area. Here are four reasons why it's worth hiring an arborist for your tree planting and transplanting needs. Expert Site and Species Selection An arborist understands the importance of matching the right tree to the right location. Factors such as soil type, drainage, sunlight, wind exposure, and spacing all play a critical role in a tree’s health and longevity. Arborists consider these factors when selecting a suitable planting site and choosing the best species for the conditions. Their knowledge helps ensure that your trees will thrive instead of struggle in an unsuitable environment. Proper Planting Techniques Improper planting is one of the most common reasons newly planted trees fail. Trees that are planted too deep or too shallow, or whose roots are not properly prepared, may suffer from stunted growth or even die prematurely. Arborists are trained in proper planting techniques that promote strong root establishment and healthy growth. From correct planting depth to optimal soil preparation, they handle every detail with precision. Safe and Effective Transplanting Transplanting a tree, especially a mature one, requires careful planning and execution. Arborists know how to assess the health and viability of a tree before moving it. They also understand how to minimize root disturbance and stress during the transplanting process. With the right equipment and knowledge, they can ensure the tree is safely relocated and given the best chance to reestablish in its new location. Protection Against Pests and Disease Young or recently transplanted trees are especially vulnerable to pests, disease, and environmental stress. Arborists can provide treatments and care strategies to help protect your trees from these threats. Ongoing maintenance plans can include monitoring for early signs of trouble and applying preventative care that helps your trees remain healthy and resilient.
