Why Hire a Certified Arborist for Tree Planting

Proper tree planting involves more than digging a hole. Our certified arborists ensure each tree is:

  • Selected for the site — matched to Reno’s soil, altitude, and climate.
  • Planted at the correct depth to prevent girdling roots and trunk rot.
  • Properly spaced to avoid crowding and competition.
  • Supported with mulch and watering guidelines for healthy establishment.

When done right, planting reduces long-term maintenance costs, supports local ecosystems, and adds beauty and value to your property.

Best Trees for Northern Nevada

Choosing the right tree for Reno’s unique climate is key to success. Our team often recommends:

  • Shade trees: Honeylocust, Elm, and Ash varieties
  • Evergreens: Pinyon Pine, Austrian Pine, and Juniper
  • Ornamental species: Flowering

We’ll help you select species that complement your property and grow successfully in high-desert conditions.

Tree Planting FAQs

The best times are spring and fall, when temperatures are moderate and soil moisture supports root establishment. Summer and winter planting are possible with proper care, but timing is key for success.

The root flare — where the trunk widens at the base — should be visible above ground. Planting too deeply can lead to rot, poor oxygen exchange, and structural problems later on.

We can supply and plant high-quality nursery stock, or we can plant trees you’ve already purchased. Either way, our arborists ensure the species and placement are suitable for your site.

Most trees take two to three years to fully establish roots. During this period, consistent watering, mulching, and pruning are critical — and we’ll provide detailed care instructions.
