TREE PLANTING

Tree Planting

When tree removals are necessary, having a tree planting plan in place can ease the pain. Tree planting plans are especially helpful when a tree removal results from unexpected disease or death in your tree canopy. Hillcrest Tree Care can will help you choose the best species for the context of your landscape. In addition to helping decide the best placement, our arborists will purchase the tree(s), transport from the nursery (we like Moyer's and Scheonheit Gardens) and execute the planting.

We will also educate the property owner on steps they can take to ensure the newcomer flourishes. Often a simple watering schedule is all that is needed for success. We take pride in helping our customers make knowledgeable investments in trees that will last a lifetime and beyond.

Here is a sampling of Native Wisconsin and Illinois trees we often recommend:

• Hackberry

• White oak (Illinois state tree)

• Red oak

• Single stem river birch

• White pine

• Bitternut hickory

• Sugar maple (Wisconsin state tree)

For more information on heritage trees that would complement your green space, please feel free to contact our arborists. We would love to come talk to you about your options!
