Plant & Tree Installation
Plantings that look right the first season and grow into themselves by the third.
We treat plant installation as a design problem, not a checklist. That starts with a walk-through, a soil read, and a conversation about what you actually want to feel when you pull into the drive. From there we build a plant palette weighted toward natives and Illinois-tested species, source from regional growers we trust, and install with proper bed prep so the roots establish in their first season instead of struggling for three.
What’s included.
Specifics, not generics. If it’s not on this list and you need it, ask — we likely do it.
- On-site design consultation and concept sketches
- Plant palette weighted toward Illinois natives and proven cultivars
- Soil testing and amendment recommendations
- Bed shaping, edging, and weed-fabric prep where appropriate
- Tree planting with proper root flare exposure and staking

Our process for plantings.
- STEP 01
On-site consultation
We walk the property, talk through goals and budget, and photograph existing conditions.
- STEP 02
Design proposal
Plant palette, layout sketch, and a phased installation plan if scope warrants it.
- STEP 03
Install over a clean window
Bed prep, planting, mulch, and a thorough water-in — typically a single multi-day push.
- STEP 04
First-season check-ins
We come back to verify establishment and adjust the watering plan as the weather shifts.
