Tree planting done right starts with choosing the right species for the spot, then planting it correctly so it establishes and thrives. In the dry Okanagan climate, species choice and planting technique make all the difference. We help select and plant trees across Kelowna and the Okanagan.
Planting a tree is a long-term decision, and the two things that decide whether it thrives are picking the right species for the spot and planting it properly. Our dry Okanagan summers are unforgiving on the wrong tree in the wrong place, so it pays to get both right.
We help you choose based on what you actually want, shade, privacy, fruit, or a feature tree, and what will handle your soil, sun, and water. Then we plant it the right way, at the right depth, with proper care so the roots establish. Plant it well once and you've got a tree for decades.
What's included
- Species advice. We recommend trees suited to your space, soil, sun, and how much water you want to use.
- Right spot, right tree. We help you place it where it has room to grow without hitting the house or lines.
- Proper planting. We plant at the correct depth and width so the roots establish instead of girdling.
- Soil prep. We prepare the planting hole and backfill so the young roots can spread.
- Establishment care. Mulching, staking where needed, and watering guidance to get it through year one.
- Honest expectations. We tell you how fast it'll grow and what it'll look like in five and ten years.
