Common Questions About Tree Planting Costs
Why not just buy a tree at a big box store?
Big box stores sell trees for less upfront, but you are on your own for transport, planting, and establishment. Improper planting is the #1 cause of tree failure. Our prices include professional installation that gives your tree the best chance of long-term survival, plus we source from quality Texas nurseries, not out-of-state warehouses.
What size tree should I buy?
For most homeowners, 25-45 gallon trees offer the best balance of immediate impact and value. They are large enough to make a visual statement and provide some shade right away, while costing significantly less than 95-200 gallon specimens. Smaller 5-15 gallon sizes are great for shrubs, hedges, and accent plants.
Do you offer bulk discounts?
Yes! For larger projects with multiple trees or full landscape installations, contact us for a custom quote. We frequently work with homeowners doing full-yard transformations and can offer competitive pricing on multi-tree orders.
How quickly can you plant after I order?
Most orders are delivered and planted within a few days. For in-stock items, we can often schedule same-week service. During peak spring and fall planting seasons, we recommend ordering 1-2 weeks ahead for your preferred date.
