Tree Installation
Expert tree installation adds lasting value, shade, and curb appeal to your property — planted right the first time by certified arborists who know your soil, your climate, and your trees. Whether you’re enhancing a garden, upgrading your landscaping, or adding plants that transform your outdoor space, our team delivers results that last.
5 Highlights on Tree Installation
- Certified Arborist Selection — Our ISA certified arborists assess your site conditions, soil composition, and sun exposure to recommend the best specimen trees for your property. We match native, ornamental, shade, flowering, and fruiting varieties to your landscape goals, including fruit trees, shrubs, and plants suited to your garden.
- Proper Root Ball Handling — — We source balled and burlapped, container grown, and bare root stock from trusted regional nurseries. Each root system gets inspected for root bound conditions, girdling roots, and disease before we plant.
- Precision Planting Technique — Our crew excavates each planting hole to the correct depth and width, positions the root flare at grade, backfills with amended soil, and tamps to eliminate air pockets. Every tree gets staked, watered, and mulched on the same visit.
- Post Installation Care Plan — We provide a written watering schedule, hose and irrigation setup guidance, fertilizer recommendations, and a follow up inspection within 90 days. Newly planted trees need consistent irrigation, nutrients, and monitoring to establish strong lateral root growth.
- Licensed, Insured, and Guaranteed — Quick Cut Tree Service carries full liability coverage and offers a one year establishment guarantee on every tree we install. If your tree fails to root, we replace it.
Why Choose Our Tree Installation
Tree installation is more than digging a hole. It’s a sequence of decisions — species selection, site preparation, root ball placement, soil amendment, and aftercare — that determines whether a tree thrives for decades or struggles from day one. The best landscape results come from professional landscape designs that account for every planted tree’s mature size, root spread, and contribution to a relaxing atmosphere.
Quick Cut Tree Service brings qualified arboricultural expertise to every planting job. Our crews hold ISA certifications and follow ANSI A300 standards for tree planting and transplanting. We don’t guess at soil pH, native soil composition, or drainage. We probe, test, and amend before a single shovel breaks ground. We evaluate local weather patterns and trunk caliper to ensure every planted tree is positioned for long term success.
We work with residential homeowners, commercial property managers, HOAs, and municipal agencies across the region. Whether you need a single ornamental specimen anchored in your front yard or fifty columnar shade trees installed along a new streetscape, our team has the equipment and the experience.
Our fleet includes tree spades, augers, skid steers, and dump trucks sized for any project. We haul in fresh loam, compost, and mycorrhizae inoculant so your new trees get the best possible start. We haul out all debris, burlap, wire baskets, and packaging.
You get a written estimate before we start. No surprises. No hidden fees. Just professional tree installation backed by a crew that stakes its reputation on every planting.
Signs You Need Tree Installation
Your property lacks shade coverage. Mature trees reduce surface temperatures by 20 to 45 degrees Fahrenheit under their canopy. If your yard, lawn, patio, or parking area bakes in direct sun, strategically planted shade trees — spreading varieties like oaks, maples, or elms — solve the problem within a few growing seasons and create a relaxing atmosphere outdoors. A certified arborist can map your sun exposure and recommend placement for maximum canopy coverage at maturity.
You’ve lost trees to storm damage or disease. Windthrown, uprooted, or moribund trees leave gaps in your landscape. Stumps get ground down, but the empty space remains. Professional tree installation fills those gaps with vigorous, hardy replacements matched to your existing landscape design. We select disease resistant cultivars so you don’t repeat the same problem.
Your builder cleared the lot. New construction often strips a property bare. Juvenile saplings and seedlings from a big box store won’t deliver the structural presence your landscape needs. We install specimen grade trees — balled and burlapped stock with established root systems and strong scaffold branch structure — that give your new property an immediate, mature appearance.
You need a privacy screen or windbreak. Evergreen and coniferous varieties planted in rows create dense, living barriers that outperform fences for privacy and noise reduction. We space, stake, and cable each tree to maintain uniform growth. Proper installation depth and root zone preparation keep these screens healthy and full from the ground up.
Your municipality or HOA requires tree replacement. Many local ordinances mandate tree preservation plans and replacement plantings after removal permits. Quick Cut Tree Service handles the permit paperwork, selects approved native species, and installs trees that meet code requirements. We document root flare depth, caliper size, and spacing for your compliance records.
Our Tree Installation Process
Tree installation follows a structured, repeatable process that protects your investment from the start.
Step 1 — Site Assessment. Our arborist visits your property to survey soil conditions, drainage patterns, overhead utilities, underground lines, and existing root zones. We test soil pH and composition. We identify the best planting locations based on mature canopy spread, drip line clearance, and sun exposure.
Step 2 — Species Selection. We recommend tree varieties matched to your goals. Shade, privacy, fruit trees, ornamental appeal — each purpose calls for a different species. Planting trees that complement your garden, lawn, and existing landscaping requires expert species matching. We source from regional nurseries that grow hardy, climate adapted stock.
Step 3 — Delivery and Staging. Our crew delivers trees by trailer or dump truck. We stage materials — compost, mulch, soil amendment, stakes, guy wires, and tree guards — in the work zone before we dig.
Step 4 — Excavation and Planting. We dig each planting hole two to three times wider than the root ball and no deeper than the root flare. We set the tree, cut away burlap and wire, backfill with amended soil, and tamp in layers. We build a mulch ring and water deeply.
Step 5 — Staking, Bracing, and Aftercare. We stake or brace each tree as needed, install tree guards where deer or equipment pose a risk, and provide a written care plan covering irrigation frequency, fertilizer timing, and pruning schedules for the first two years.

FAQs About Tree Installation
What does professional tree installation include?
Tree installation covers site assessment, species selection, delivery, excavation, planting, backfilling, staking, mulching, and initial watering. Our service also includes a written aftercare plan and a 90 day follow up inspection to check root establishment and overall tree health.
When is the best time to install trees?
Fall and early spring are the best planting windows in most climates. Cooler weather and consistent rainfall let roots establish before summer heat arrives. Dormant deciduous trees transplant with less shock during these periods. Container grown and balled and burlapped stock can go in the ground almost any time the soil isn’t frozen.
How does tree installation work for large specimen trees?
We use a Vermeer tree spade mounted on a truck or skid steer to excavate and transport large root balls. A crane assists with placement when access is tight or the specimen exceeds equipment reach. Large tree installation requires careful root flare positioning and heavy staking or guying to prevent wind displacement.
Can you install trees near underground utilities?
Yes. We call 811 before every job to mark buried lines. Our arborist plans planting locations that respect utility easements and allow adequate root zone clearance. We hand dig when mechanical excavation poses a risk to gas, water, or electrical infrastructure.
Why should I hire a professional instead of planting myself?
Planting depth is the single biggest factor in long term tree survival. Too deep and the root flare suffocates. Too shallow and roots dry out. A certified arborist knows the correct depth, the right soil amendments to blend with your native soil, and the proper staking methods for each species. Quick Cut Tree Service guarantees establishment — a guarantee you can’t give yourself.
How much does tree installation cost?
Cost depends on species, caliper size, site access, and soil conditions. A small ornamental sapling runs less than a large balled and burlapped shade tree requiring crane placement. We provide free written estimates with transparent line items so you know exactly what you’re paying for before work begins.
