At Custom Exterior Landscape, we handle every step of the large tree installation process to ensure the best results for your commercial property. We carefully select trees that thrive in Connecticut’s climate, and our expert team uses specialized equipment for planting, ensuring the trees grow strong and healthy over time.

For properties like shopping plazas, office complexes, healthcare, schools, and industrial parks, large trees provide more than just aesthetic appeal—they also offer shade, privacy, and noise reduction.

Our Large Tree Installation Process:

1. Site Evaluation: We begin with a thorough site assessment, taking into consideration factors like space, sunlight, soil quality, and drainage. This helps us determine the ideal tree species and placement to achieve your goals for shade, privacy, or aesthetic enhancement.
2. Tree Selection: We work closely with you to select the perfect tree species for your commercial property. Our team focuses on species that thrive in Connecticut’s climate and are suited for your space’s needs. Common large trees we install include, but not limited to:
   • Oak (Quercus spp.): Ideal for large spaces, offering strength and shade.
   • Maple (Acer spp.): Adds vibrant color and beauty, particularly in the fall.
   • Elm (Ulmus spp.): A stately choice for urban and park settings.
   • Beech (Fagus spp.): Known for its smooth bark and lush foliage.
   • Evergreens (Pinus spp., Thuja spp.): Provide year-round greenery and privacy.
3. Transportation and Planting: We utilize specialized equipment to transport and plant your large tree safely and efficiently. Whether it’s a crane, tree spade, or flatbed truck, we ensure your tree is moved without damaging the root system, and our team carefully places it for optimal growth and stability.
4. Stabilization: After planting, we may use stakes or cable wiring to stabilize the tree, particularly in areas exposed to wind or heavy foot traffic.
5. Irrigation Setup: Proper irrigation is crucial for the survival and growth of newly installed trees. We can set up a temporary irrigation system, ensure an existing one is ready to handle the tree’s watering needs, or manually water until the tree has been established.
6. Mulching and Fertilization: We apply mulch around the base of the tree to retain moisture and protect the root zone, while also fertilizing the soil to encourage healthy root development and growth.
7. Ongoing Maintenance: Our job doesn’t stop after planting. We offer follow-up maintenance services, including watering adjustments, pruning, and monitoring the tree’s growth. This ensures that your tree establishes itself in its new environment and continues to thrive.
