Plant & Tree Installation

Plantings that look right the first season and grow into themselves by the third.

The Approach

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.

Scope of Work

Specifics, not generics. If it’s not on this list and you need it, ask — we likely do it.

  • 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
  • Shrub and perennial installation with spacing for mature size
  • First-season watering plan and care guide
  • Optional spring/fall maintenance refresh contracts
  • Replacement guarantee on installed plant material (one season)
How We Run It

Our process for plantings.

  1. STEP 01

    On-site consultation

    We walk the property, talk through goals and budget, and photograph existing conditions.

  2. STEP 02

    Design proposal

    Plant palette, layout sketch, and a phased installation plan if scope warrants it.

  3. STEP 03

    Install over a clean window

    Bed prep, planting, mulch, and a thorough water-in — typically a single multi-day push.

  4. STEP 04

    First-season check-ins

    We come back to verify establishment and adjust the watering plan as the weather shifts.
