TREE PLANTING

Adding a new tree or a few trees can greatly enhance a property's appearance and increase its value. There a few things you will want to consider when choosing a tree, the first thing should be its location the property.

​The location of a tree must be a sufficient distant from any structure on the property with its branches when it reaches its maximum size should be no less than 5 ft from any structure. The tree should not be planted close to any property lines and must be far enough from neighboring property that its branches and roots the of the is full grown will not reach into neighboring property. This is important because the property owner liable for any damage done by a tree planted on their property. Remember tree roots are at least the size of the tree above ground and for some tree the roots can be much larger. Roots can literally crack a concrete sidewalk, are the most common cause of cracking in concrete block walls, and can even damage a house's foundation.

There  also must be enough room for the tree when it is full-grown,  and the plants and amount of sun available for neighboring must also be considered. And the location chosen must allow adequate drainage which  requires digging a hole and filling it with water to ensure it empties quickly enough. There are a few techniques to correct drainage problems one being the installation of a draining system and costs for installation can vary. 

Finally the use or purpose of the tree you wants needs to be determined. If you want the tree to add color to your yard year-a-round and evergreen may be a good choice or a tree to add color in the summer only then a deciduous tree which looses its leave in its dormant season. When the tree primary use is to provide shade a deciduous that is planted on the south side of a residence is a great choice. The tree can provide shade in hot summer months cooling the home and reducing electricity costs for air conditioning. Its leaves will fall and its bare branches will allow the sun through to warm the home in winter lowering heating cost. 

Those are some of the thing that must be considered when choosing to plant a tree on your property. We get it, this is not everything and its already a lot to consider and it can be overwhelming.

Tree Relocation or transplanting is preferred to tree removal when possible. while trees are  less than 3 years old they can be relocated fairly easily. Special heavy equipment is, however, required for medium sized trees and its used requires extensive training and certification to operate. This equipment is very expensive to purchase and current training and certification is required for tree service professionals in order to rent it. Thus a tree service professional with proper certification will have to relocate any medium sized trees on a property.

​Redlands Tree Service has 3 team members that have the required certification required to operate the equipment to facilitate removing a medium size tree and relocate it to the same property or to another property. It is important to keep in mind that this equipment is rather large and there must be a pathway to access the tree thank is to be relocated.

It is important to ensure the site where the tree is to be relocated, needs adequate space for the tree when it is full grown. There must be proper drainage for the tree in order to insure its healthy growth and for its roots to become fully established.  There needs to be adequate space between the tree at its maximum size and any structures on the property so prevent damage.
