What Our Tree and Shrub Planting Services Include

Planting success depends on preparation, spacing, and understanding how plants will grow over time, especially in Pennsylvania’s multi-seasonal climate. Our team focuses on the details that help your landscape establish properly.

Tree Selection and Placement

We help you select trees based on mature size, sun exposure, soil conditions, and proximity to structures. We also plan spacing around driveways, walkways, patios, and overhead clearance so your trees have room to grow without creating future conflicts. This attention to detail ensures that your new tree and shrub installations will remain balanced, grow healthily, and perform well for years to come.

Proper tree placement helps:

Prevent overcrowding: We plan spacing based on mature width, not the plant’s current size.
Avoid root and foundation issues: We choose locations that protect hardscapes and nearby structures.
Support long-term growth: We consider canopy spread, clearance, and overall site layout.

Shrub and Foundation Planting

Shrubs add structure, privacy, and create a visual balance when placed correctly in relation to beds, walkways, and entry points.

Shrub planting supports:

Defined planting beds: Clean lines and balanced spacing help beds look intentional.
Seasonal interest: We can plan for variety in texture and color across the year.
A cohesive look: Shrubs tie together lawns, beds, and hardscape features.

Soil Preparation and Planting Techniques

We prepare planting areas to support drainage, root expansion, and nutrient access.

Soil Prep That Supports Healthy Growth

Correct planting depth: We avoid common planting mistakes that limit root development.
Soil and drainage awareness: We plan for water movement, so roots do not sit in saturated soil.
Finishing steps: We can apply mulch and bed finishing where appropriate to support moisture control and cleaner presentation.

Integration With Existing Landscapes

Trees and shrubs should look like they belong on the property. We place plantings to blend naturally with lawns, planting beds, and nearby hardscape features.

Blend New Trees & Shrubs Naturally With Your Existing Landscape

Bed continuity: We align new plantings with existing bed lines, edges, and landscape flow.
Balanced spacing: We place trees and shrubs to look proportional now while still allowing mature growth.
Hardscape-friendly placement: We plan around patios, walkways, and retaining walls to avoid crowding and future conflicts.
Cohesive design feel: We match plant texture, height, and shape so new additions look like they belong from day one.

Our Tree and Shrub Planting Process

Tree planting services Lehigh Valley property owners trust follow a process that’s simple, straightforward, and predictable. Here’s what you can expect when TC Landscape Solutions completes a project.

Aftercare Tips for Healthy Root Establishment and Growth

Proper aftercare helps new plantings establish strong roots, supporting healthier long-term growth. After installation, we’ll explain the basics for your specific trees and shrubs, including where to focus your watering and what to watch for during the first few weeks.

Essential Aftercare Tips Include:

Water consistently at the root zone: Deep, steady watering helps roots establish better than frequent light watering.
Expect the first few weeks to be the most important: New trees and shrubs often show mild stress while roots adjust, especially during warm or windy weather.
Mulch correctly: Keep a clean mulch ring to support moisture retention, but avoid piling mulch against the trunk or stems.
Monitor for early stress signs: Wilting, yellowing leaves, or dieback can signal water or drainage issues that need quick adjustment.
Limit heavy pruning right away: Most new plantings do better when they can focus energy on root growth first.
Ask about ongoing maintenance: If you want continued help, we can set up a landscape maintenance plan that includes seasonal cleanups, pruning, and bed care.

Why Professional Tree and Shrub Planting Matters

Improper planting depth, spacing, and soil preparation can shorten a plant’s lifespan and cause long-term issues. Professional installation helps your new plantings establish faster and perform better over time.

Built for Lehigh Valley Conditions

Our approach accounts for local site conditions and seasonal timing. We plan for drainage patterns and changing weather so trees and shrubs have a better chance to thrive.

Plant hardiness: The Lehigh Valley falls within hardiness zones 6b-7a, making early-to-mid Fall and early Spring the best times to plant new greenery.
Soil conditions: Clay-heavy, compacted soil is common on many Lehigh Valley properties, requiring adequate prep and careful drainage.
Mulching needs: Trees and shrubs typically need 2–3 inches of mulch to protect their roots, with careful application to avoid piling against trunks and stems.
