Choosing the right tree for your location prevents future headaches in our region. We avoid problematic species like Bradford pears (banned in some Charlotte suburbs) and recommend alternatives like serviceberries or hornbeams.
For South End's compact lots, we select columnar varieties that won't overwhelm small spaces. In Myers Park's historic districts, we source specimen trees that complement existing canopy. Every planting includes soil amendments to combat clay compaction and proper staking that won't girdle trunks.
Our post-planting care instructions account for Charlotte's weather extremes—deep watering during drought, protection from late frosts, and mulch rings to prevent mower damage. We warranty all plantings for two years against failure due to planting error, not including storm damage or drought stress.

Frequently Asked Questions
What trees grow best in Gastonia's clay soil?
We recommend drought-tolerant species like post oaks or American hollies that tolerate heavy soil once established.
How large are your container trees?
We typically plant 2-3" caliper trees that establish faster than saplings but aren't as transplant-shocked as larger specimens.
Should I fertilize new plantings?
Not initially—we use mycorrhizal inoculants instead, which work better with Charlotte's native soil microbiology.
