Planting Trees
Planting Rates for Trees are determined by site conditions and distance to the site.

The rates are based on site conditions, travel distance, and the cost of the tree. Here are the base levels, though certain circumstances will need to be quoted.

We have a minimum planting charge of $200, so if the tree or plant material is less than $200, the planting charge is $200.

If access is limited, it is located under the drip line of an existing or removed tree (removed in the last 5 years), in the same spot as a removed tree. Or a fruit tree. We figure the planting rate to be 100% of the tree's price. For example, a $200 tree would be an additional $ 200.00 to plant.

If a tree is listed as “Special” or SVA (Special Value Area), it has been marked down from its regular price. These trees have a planting rate calculated based on the tree's current and mature size, as well as its regular retail price.

If access is open, not under other trees, not one that was in the last 5 years, and none of the above circumstances apply, and the trees’ value is above 250.00, then the planting rate can be calculated at 80% of the price of the tree. For example, a $300 tree would have a planting rate of $240 dollars.

If the travel distance exceeds 30 minutes, a distance fee based on the delivery rates for that area will need to be added.

For trees/shrubs going where a tree was recently removed or under an existing tree’s dripline, we do a 15-minute or less site visit to ensure the site is ready for new plant material and will advise if additional site prep is needed. A site visit is not intended for yard advice or yard consults, so if the visit lasts longer than 15 minutes, charges of $200 per hour will be billed.

Planting Rates For Hedges and Shrubs
For shrubs, landscape beds, or hedges (such as Arborvitae), we would like to prepare a quote based on site conditions and the services needed. The starting point would be the same $200 minimum as for the trees, with a 100% planting rate, but depending on project needs, it could be set higher. That is why we like to conduct a site visit and provide a quote for your review and approval.

Remember, you are responsible for clearing cars, projects, garden structures, fences, dog poop, debris, and other portable obstacles before we come so we can install the tree without delay.
