Planting Roots for the Future

Expert tree selection and planting services that add value and beauty to your property.

More Than Just a Tree

Planting a tree is more than a landscaping choice—it’s an investment in the future. Trees grow alongside you, marking seasons of life while providing lasting benefits for generations to come.

They offer shade and comfort, strengthen property value, improve air quality, and create a sense of permanence and pride in the land. As a tree matures, it becomes part of your story—watching kids grow up, sheltering homes from the elements, and enhancing the beauty of your surroundings year after year.

With proper care and thoughtful planting, a tree doesn’t just grow roots in the soil; it grows roots in your life and your community.

Doing It Right the First Time

Many trees decline within a few years because they were planted too deep, in the wrong soil, or too close to structures. At Sigourney Treecare, we use our 30 years of arboriculture experience to ensure your investment thrives.

The 3 Critical Factors:

  • Right Tree, Right Place: We match the species to your specific soil type, drainage, and sunlight availability.
  • Proper Planting Depth: We ensure the root flare is visible at grade level. Planting too deep causes trunk rot and girdling roots.
  • Utility Safety: We position trees safely away from overhead power lines, underground pipes, and your home's foundation.

2. Installation

We excavate the site 2-3 times wider than the root ball to encourage root growth, amend the soil if necessary, and stake the tree only if required by wind conditions.

3. Aftercare

We mulch correctly (avoiding "volcano mulching" that kills trees) and provide you with clear instructions on watering to ensure the tree establishes quickly.
