FAQ's
FAQ's
How are ex-ground trees prepared for delivery?
All ex-ground trees are carefully dug with their rootball intact to preserve the root system and minimize transplant shock. Each tree is stabilized and treated with specialized solutions to promote health during transit. The rootball is wrapped to retain moisture and protect it from damage, and water crystals are added to provide essential nutrients and hydration for the journey. These meticulous preparations ensure your tree remains healthy and ready for planting, regardless of how far it has to travel.
Are there minimum order quantities for delivery?
There are no strict minimums, though delivery costs may vary based on order size. Generally the more trees you purchase, the cheaper the freight becomes. Contact us to discuss your needs.
Do you provide installation services?
While we focus on the supply and delivery of trees, we can connect you with trusted landscaping partners who specialize in tree installation and site preparation.
